Finding the Perfect Fabric . .

Hi !

When I stared working on the Kafili project (here) one of the first fabrics I picked was this black and white polka dot.  I was also on the hunt for a good peach fabric.  Peach can be hard to find and Rebecca Atwood always pops in my mind.  She does the prettiest peach.  Take a look at a few of my favorites of hers that we used on that project.

Just this month she launched a new line of bedding !


Architectural Digest posted an article  (here) and describes her five collections.

"I wanted to create pieces that make for a personal look, like they’ve been collected over time and not perfectly matched," explains the Brooklyn-based designer of her line, which comprises five collections. The Cape series, drawn from Atwood's childhood on Cape Cod, evokes the ripples of sand and water at the beach, with names drawn from nature. Sun takes a less literal approach to that subject, not with citrine-hued sheets but rather a warm pink hue evocative of the sky at sunset. Shadow explores the shapes cast by the sun at different times. Ocean's pattern represents moving tides, and Cloud draws inspiration from those swirling shapes and their ethereal, dreamlike movement in a way that manifests like marbleization." - written by Hadley Keller, Feb 6th

 Here's a few of my favorites !

We love her work !

Spotlight: Rebecca Atwood

Hi There !

It could not be any colder, cloudier, and drizzlier than it was the other day in Charlotte.  I had big plans to work at the office on tax stuff, but honestly I just couldn't do it.  Tomorrow's another day (Scarlett).  I needed to be creative on my big, green sofa with my kids around.  I am working on several new projects and looking for all the great accessories. One of which, the perfect textile.  One of my favorite artists is Rebecca Atwood.  We incorporated a pair of her grey marble pillows in our latest install (here).  They were perfect.  Rebecca has a beautiful line.  Thought I'd elaborate a bit . . .

Her patterns and fluidness are what I love, as well as her choice of color combinations.  Hand painted looking and original.  I came across her originally at one of the New York shows and have been following her ever since.  

Brooklyn based artist, "believes in the process of making."  The artistic process is what drives her and it's evident.  Simple and luxurious that is for sure.  I read she grew up on Cape Cod and drew some of her inspiration from the ocean.  Now living in Brooklyn she continues to find inspiration in her surroundings from everyday observations.  With a degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, she began her career at Anthropologie - that's cool !  Working with major retailers today, she's a trend setter for sure. 

From paper to textiles, the translation is there and each piece is a work of art.  Take at a few of my favorite pillows - surely to make that sofa or chair something that much more special.

These are the beauties we used in the Edgerton Master Bedroom install (here).

What about art?  Framed in white or black, these can be yours as well.

Love !
