QUOTE // Rumi + FABRIC // Waves in Marine, Rebecca Atwood
The right sentiments, received at the right time, can be like salve for the soul. And we are all about things that lift us up, motivate us and keep the positive energy flowing freely.
With the launch of this new CLOTH & KIND Journal column, Words of Wisdom, we'll be sharing the quotes that speak to us in the most profound of ways... sitting pretty atop a fabric that fits the vibe (but, of course).
Happy Monday... and welcome to our new website! Whadda ya think?
Clay McLaurin + Bungalow Classic
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.

Congrats Clay + Bungalow!
Rachel Rogers Design
Today we are inspired by the refreshingly original and wonderful artwork of Rachel Rogers and are pinning her custom crests onto our client's private Pinterest boards like mad... how darling would one of these be framed in a child's room?
ABOUT // Rachel Rogers is a New York-based artist known for her playful bespoke heraldry. A San Francisco native, Rogers attended Parsons School of Design prior to working under Rodrigo Corral. Rogers' ink and water-color creations are both whimsical and elegant and reflect the personal components of her clientele. Go check her out!
Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Showhouse
CLOTH & KIND has been invited to design a room in this stunning new home on Habersham Road for the Atlanta Homes & LifestylesHome for the Holidays showhouse this winter. The dreaming/designing/planning is well underway and we are so excited with the direction our space is taking! Keep your eyes peeled here on our Journal for some sneak peeks at what we're scheming in the coming months... and if you live in Atlanta, be sure to mark your calendars for November 16 - December 7 which is when the house will be open to the public. We'd love to see y'all there!
Remodelista
Beyond honored to have my home featured on Remodelista today as part of their Patterns & Prints edition this week. The lovely photographs were taken by Rinne Allen.

Doshi Levien for Nani Marquin
The series of Rabari rugs created by Doshi Levien for Nani Marquina evoke the sensual and shiny world of tribal folk embroidery of India. We are completely and utterly infatuated.
Watch this fascinating video to get your creative juices flowing this Monday morning...

Shapes by Christian May
When we were out in LA for all of the LCDQ Legends events, we got to hang with our super cool, irreverent and charming buddy Christian May of Maison21 and check out his innovative new Shapes rug collection which he designed exclusively for 27 Ground, run by our talented friend Ginna Christensen. Shapes is a collection of modern, geometric-influenced cowhide rugs. Each design is completely customizable in shape, pattern and color for infinite possibilities.
We asked Christian what his inspiration behind this insanely good collection was and here is what he had to say (note: we we whispering like big old dorks because there was an LCDQ Legends panel discussion happening in the room behind us! True multi-taskers, we were.)...
Look at all of the amazing things that can happen when we disconnect ourselves from wi-fi! Thank you, Christian, for sharing with us and huge, heartfelt congratulations on Shapes, which in our humble opinion is some damn good and truly innovative rug design.
Shapes rugs are available exclusively through 27 Ground at Woven Accents. IMAGE CREDITS | Photo & video taken by Krista Nye Schwartz of CLOTH & KIND.

This week literally flew passed us! What about you? We're most definitely behind on our usual blog posts because we've been so laser focused on some cool new client projects and on getting our revamped website ready to launch... but we can hardly believe it's Friday (night, at that!) and we're just now getting our first post of the week up. Ah well, such is life. We try to take it all in stride and enjoy the ride, even though the route may not always be the one we had planned.
So it may be late but this Palette is worth it, no? Rather delicious if we do say so ourselves.
