Designer Spotlight: Lulu de Kwiatkowski

You may not recognizer her name, but Lulu de Kwiatkowski, more widely known as Lulu DK, is the designer behind Matouk's Lulu DK line of bedding. She studied textiles at Parson's School of Design, then moved to Paris to study art.  She has become well-known in the textile world for her fine fabrics with bright and bold designs. 

Here is some of her bedding for Matouk used on a daybed in her son's nursery:

She has recently come out with a line of fabrics for Schumacher:

Edie Ross recently decorated a FUN table working around her fabric:

I guess designing her own line of fine fabrics, bedding and table linens for Matouk, and fabric for Schumacher wasn't enough to keep her busy so she has been doing some painting on the side which she will be selling on One King's Lane. I love her choice of colors in these:

Here is a link to her blog,  Trail of Inspiration.

Twins...

Beds that is.  I just love a pair of identical twin beds.  Especially in a cozy attic room.  In fact, I've probably blogged about this before.  In my opinion, kids should start in twin beds so that later on they can appreciate the extra space.  Plus, it keeps them from being bed hogs!

Matouk Le Scallop (very similar to the second image with the brown trim) is one of my favorite options for twin beds.  It is a great price point, extremely durable, and a coverlet and standard sham can completely pull together the bed!  Headed to market the weekend, will keep you posted on fun finds!

H,S,C,B, and Mers

We have $12 fingertip towels for you! Our previous fingertip towel has made it's way to the cleaning towel basket where it will have another life wiping countertops and cleaning windows!

Perfect Monogramming

So sorry I haven't posted lately, I am still getting used to my new computer and most of the pictures I upload are teeny tiny. Trust me, I have a ton more of my favorite monograms... this is just a small sampling! I've just gotten in Matouk Fingertip Towels in clean, crisp, white with initials (B, C, W, H, M). At only $12 they are a steal!!

Happy Weekend!

Bedding Kick- off!

I have a deal for all you blog followers...

I am offering 20% off John Robshaw and Matouk bedding. Everything in the store and special orders. Sheets, shams, throws, towels, monogramming.... EVERYTHING! Deal starts today and goes through the end of April. This includes free shipping, just incase you can't make it in the store!

Pink and Blue in Bloom!

And all around me today!
And yes, that is an old Domino Magazine pull-out. It was always a dream of mine to be on the cover of an issue one day (I dream big, I know! I think I even picked out my outfit!!!) or to be featured on the "10 Things I Love" page would have been just fine!

Anyways, Spring is my favorite season and I'm so glad it is in full bloom right now!

My Dream Bed.. In the very Near Future!

I can't tell you how many pictures I have saved on my computer of my "dream bedding." There is so much to choose from and I bounce back and forth from clean, monogrammed linens to bohemian block prints. I also have a husband to keep in mind while making this decision, which leads me to this dream bed below...The bed above (featured in Lonny Magazine) has Matouk Lowell Duvet and Shams paired with John Robshaw Indigo dipped bolsters.

More of the Lowell with Matouk's beautiful monogramming option.

Oh, and it only get better. Bunny Williams also uses Matouk! Here she has used Matouk's Gordian Knot

And in this bedroom Bunny has used a John Robshaw quilt to finish off an elegant bedroom. How relaxing!
