Jared Hughes, a wildly talented designer and lovely friend of ours, has us totally gobsmacked over his bedroom in this year’s Southeastern Designer Showhouse. From his beautiful use of Décors Barbares textiles to the ornate detailing of his custom wallpaper collaboration with Gracie Studio, we were thrilled to learn more about Jared’s inspiration and creative process for this project.

We had a visit from our Donghia rep this week and were completely enchanted with Pierre Frey's Spring 2015 Origines collection, which is a textile tribute to indigenous tribes from around the wold. Sandy, with its embroidery and shells, is a motif based on the necklaces made and worn by Aboriginal people and Kagura is a printed linen toile depicting partially overlapping traditional Japanese theatre masks in bold colors. Gorgeous, no?! We paired these two stunners with a versatile new Dominique Kieffer tweed and simply adore the fact that its salvage can be cut and used as a brush trim.

We had a bit of a subliminal dragon theme going on while we were out and about in LA on our recent BlogTourLA adventure (btw, you can check out all of our BlogTour fun here). It seemed that every which way we looked we found another little dragon-inspired something-or-other. And it all started when we saw this crazy beautiful new carletonV print, aptly named Puff. We're quite fond of Puff and wanted to also show you this image of him below, since he himself wasn't included in the memo we received and used above. Isn't he darling?
So what do you think, would you put dragons in your interior space... or better yet, have you already? Tell us of your love or hate of this mythical fire-breathing beast. We have a feeling that most people fall pretty firmly in one camp or another on this topic.

We are total and complete suckers for the littlest of details, which is why we are big old fans of the Holland & Sherry showroom. They carry so many of our favorite to-the-trade lines, plus their own line is divine. Like the exquisite Nara applique shown above - how amazing is this?!
We are also immensely appreciative of the fact that their website (relaunched and improved as of today) shows such incredibly detailed photos of each textile. It's this kind of attention to detail, both in their product and in the care they have taken to put together such a fantastic online resource that differentiates them from the rest and keeps designers like Tami and me coming back over and over again. Oh, and we also just adore our rep in Chicago - Michael Madalinski (hi, Mike!)
Who else out there in the design world is doing a great job at the tiniest of details? There are many, we know, and we'd love to hear your input.
