Dear friend and talented surface designer Clay McLaurin's textiles have been a mainstay in CLOTH & KIND Interiors' design projects since we first started this business (and now we're loving using his newly launched wallpaper collection as well). We are absolutely mad about Clay's aesthetic... almost as much as we adore him and his partner in both life & business, Todd Piercy. They are about as kind, cool and wicked talented as people get!
We so appreciate Clay & Todd's willingness to participate in our Wallpaper column, and hope y'all enjoy these free downloads for your tech.

IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT STUFF // Y'all know this, but it's worth saying that all images in our Wallpaper column are the exclusive property of the textile and wallpaper designers that have so graciously shared their proprietary designs with us so that our tech can look all kinds of cool. Under no circumstances may any part of their work be copied, duplicated, manipulated or used in anyway without their express written permission.
“Cool blues mixed with deep indigos. This collection was inspired by a trip to the West Indies. There is a sense of history, relaxation and easy sophistication that still remains in the islands that I fell in love with.”
Clay put together today's Palette for us using textiles from his new Spring 2016 collection, which we're currently obsessing over. Keep an eye out for Reeds in CLOTH & KIND's upcoming window at Southern Style Now in New Orleans in May!

ABOUT THE SHOWHOUSE // Several months ago, we received the distinct honor of being invited to design a space in the prestigious Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles' Home for the Holidays showhouse. The annual showhouse is a one-of-a-kind holiday experience and in 2014 it featured a newly constructed English-style home in Atlanta’s upscale Buckhead neighborhood. The 7,200-square-foot home built by Sheehan Built Homes was inspired by the arts and crafts style developed by Sir Edwin Lutyens of England in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A stone and brick façade carries the steep roof with large windows and cut stone quoins and headers, reminiscent of Lutyens designs, throughout. The interior boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms along with a study and sitting room. Perched atop a hill, the home’s large-scale backyard is a focal point featuring a heavily canopied landscape. The luxury home showcases the work of acclaimed local and national designers (eeeek... that includes us!!) who were selected to put their touches on each room to create a true designer showhouse. The home was open to the public for tours in November and early December 2014 and proceeds from the event benefitted the Southeastern Horticultural Society’s Learning Gardens and Farms.
ABOUT CLOTH & KIND'S SPACES // Given the tucked away location of the vestibule and bonus room, on the second floor - above the three car garage, we were inspired to turn the adjoining spaces into an alluring destination in the home - a seductive and modern day speakeasy. A cheeky nod to the blind tiger, as speakeasies were often referred to during the prohibition era, we swathed the walls of the vestibule in ZAK+FOX’s luxurious Khaden tiger print fabric. Dark and sultry trim, ceilings and walls in Sydney Harbour Paint’s Jaguar sets the mood and creates the ideal backdrop upon which a myriad of geometric shapes are echoed throughout the bonus room in watery shades of cream, blue & indigo, plum, blush pink and neutral. Just as speakeasies did in their day, the bonus room beckons with promises of lounging and frivolity - cocktails, cards, dancing and an abundance of comfortable seating in an inviting salon. Paired with a mid-century bar, and a trio of old rail car barstools found on the side of the road, saddling up to the bar has never been so stylish. True to CLOTH & KIND’s vibe, the two spaces are layered with history and heart, with story and substance. The ultimate mix of vintage, modern, textures, art, colors and of course, layers upon layers of unique textiles create the ultimate destination in this stately Habersham home. And, PS, we just had a blast designing these spaces! You can find full coverage of the house, including our spaces, in the February 2015 issue of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine. Please also enjoy these photos, taken by our dear photographer Sarah Dorio, for our Portfolio.

Happy Friday, friends!
Clay McLaurin, the ever talented Atlanta based textile designer that we simply adore (...you may recall that we used his Brush fabric in Twilight on the custom screens in our LCDQ Legends window, see below) has launched an exclusive line of textiles with another Atlanta favorite, Bungalow Classic.
Loving Local: Clay McLaurin + Bungalow Classic // CLOTH & KIND
Clay's painterly textile designs have had us enthusiastically recommending him for CLOTH & KIND interior design projects left and right, and so we are thrilled to see this new and exciting creative output from him in the form of a partnership with Bungalow Classic - who, incidentally, also always gets it right. It's a divine collaboration!
Here is a peek at a few of the new fabrics from their line.
