Desire/Acquire: Rubie Green Tillinghast Fabric
Don't get me wrong: I absolutely adore Rubie Green textiles. But the label's stylish and eco-conscious fabrics are not exactly wallet-conscious. This cheerful, Chippendale-esque Tillinghast fabric goes for $90 a yard.
Guess Who Designed This Wall Art?
I spotted this image in the portfolio of New Zealand-based photographer Emily Andrews and I love the way the silvery grays of the wall art play off of the rich patina of the industrial chairs. And the gray cat, too! The wall art is made from stretched fabric by a very famous textile company.
Inspired: Time For Tweed
I passed by the Knoll store this morning and saw a Saarinen Executive Chair upholstered in a rich, wintry tweed sitting in the window. Then, I got my computer up and running and saw this smart J. Crew Wool Tweed Oona Coat ($550).
Roundup: Burlap Bonanza
I'm really loving the look of burlap lately. Not only does it have a quaint, understated look, but the natural material juxtaposes really nicely with all the glossy, modern things I'm drawn to. It also balances the punch of bright colors well, such as the turquoise cross on this Wisteria Nautical Signal Flag Pillow ($69).
Lilly Pulitzer to Debut Bedding Line For Garnet Hill
Palm Beach prep is coming home. Pink and green queen Lilly Pulitzer will debut a new home goods collection for Garnet Hill in January. The line will include bedding and bath accessories in her signature happy chic colors.
Do You Display Textiles on Your Walls?
Whether it's an antique quilt or an incredibly rare and precious kilim, textiles have a place off the bed and the floor. Do you hang them in your home?

Casa Quickie: Try Curtains Outdoors
With so many great outdoor fabrics on the market (including Trina Turk's), there's no reason not to bring textiles into your outdoor space. I think outdoor curtains are supremely chic. More importantly, they offer shade, as well as protection from breeze.
Roundup: Flower Power
Want to add some blossoms to your home that will never fade? Then try using floral-patterned furniture to put some flower power in your personal space. I'd start with this Celery Sofa ($2,899), which features a birds and blossoms print that looks strikingly similar to the Thomas Paul Lovebirds print.
Guess Who Designed This Print?
A Los Angeles-based interior designer created this classic design, available as both a wallpaper and a fabric, for Schumacher. It has since become one of the company's best-selling products. Can you name her?
Nice and New: Marimekko Fall 2009 Fabric Collection
Finnish textile designer Marimekko has plenty of iconic prints that, if you read my post on how to Marimekko your whole house, you'll know have been used everywhere from wallpaper to bedding to upholstery to handbags. Unfortunately, even a good thing can get old. So, I'm pleased to share Marimekko's Fall 2009 Fabric Collection with you, which will hopefully freshen things up.
