Casa Quickie: Roll With It
There's only so much we can do to make our storage look pretty without calling in California Closets for a pricey custom mahogany masterpiece — like Debi Mazar's shoe paradise. But just because you gotta work with what you got doesn't mean you're at a loss. When it comes to storing towels, roll them and stack them instead of folding them.
Roundup: Striped Table Linens
Stripes are the little black dress of tabletop décor. They're always in style. You can never go wrong with a good striped or broad-plaid tablecloth.
Nice and New: Kelly Wearstler For Sferra
Contemporary interior designer and Top Design judge Kelly Wearstler has launched a line with luxury linens maker Sferra. The line includes bedding, pillows, throws, table linens, and napkin rings. Wearstler has pumped up the volume of her soft and subtle color palette with statement-making texture and pattern, such as couture-inspired details like hand-embroidered ribbon, appliqué-embellished silks, and delicate strié.
Desire/Acquire: Bold Floral Duvet Cover
I've long been a fan of the Amenity Cove Duvet Cover ($330-395). Its big, bold design makes a definitive statement in the boudoir, and its fresh, modern color scheme is a breath of fresh air. However, its price tag makes this duvet cover a bit more of a commitment than I'm willing to make, especially since I love to switch up the look of my linens.
Sale Alert: Plover Organic Spring/Summer Sale
One of my favorite linen resources, Plover Organic, which makes stylish, eco-conscious, organic cotton bedding, is currently offering great discounts on its 2008 Spring/Summer Collection. Whether in need of crib bedding, duvets, euro shams, pillowcases, quilts, or fabric by the yard, Plover has got you covered at an affordable price. The Spring/Summer collection features a calm turquoise, yellow, and brown palette of botanicals that are block-printed by hand.
Etsy Find: Cactus Picnic Napkin Set
If a cactus could ever look cute, JackRabbit has devised a means to that end with the Cactus Picnic Napkin Set, a set of four 10-by-12-inch handmade napkins screen printed with a grid of perky green cacti. I can't think of a better occasion to debut these prickly succulents than a backyard barbecue — or perhaps a Park(ing) Day picnic. While the weather is still warming up here in San Francisco, temperatures are turning chilly elsewhere, so you'd better snatch these babies up fast and throw some T-bones on the grill.
Nice and New: Blissliving Home Amelie Duvet Set
Blissliving Home has released a handful of new Fall bedding sets, and I am particularly enthralled by the Amelie Duvet Set ($225). Not only does it share the name of a quirky French film we all know and love, but also that of one of my top two favorite wine bars in San Francisco. And, if that weren't enough to get me into bed (har har), it has a perfect balance of femininity and modernity.
How-To: Homemade Linen Spray
I recently came across a wonderful recipe for homemade linen spray at Hallmark magazine of all places and had to share because it's so simple and customizable. It's also an ideal way to infuse the scent of an endless Summer into your bedroom. Spritz a bit onto your sheets or onto your clothes as you're ironing, or spray it into the air to use it like a room spray.
Cool Idea: Cheeky Toile
I adore toile but sometimes feel as if it needs an infusion of humor. Enter Historically Inaccurate Decorative Arts, a textile company intent on tickling toile's funny bone. With a few carefully placed stitches, a pastoral scene goes from domestic to out of this world.
Would You Buy Your Linens From Jordan?
Katie Price, aka Jordan, just launched her bedding collection at Matalan in the UK. PopSugar UK had a few opinions on the line, and whatever you think of Jordan, I know what I think of this bedding: Can anyone say tween girl?
