It's often interesting what can inspire us....
is it an image on Pinterest?
a fabulous evening silhouette and big green lawn
a simple humble work table
beautiful natural elements
clean and modern spaces with interesting antiques
whimsy and white
a place to have tea
a chic and warm restaurant
a simple morning in the garden
filled with sunshine
It's probably all of those things
or
a patchwork of a bit of each

My inspiration usually comes from the colors and textures
of things that I enjoy looking at
and most often a house and it's architecture
will tell you what needs to be placed inside

But since I'm not sure where or what style exactly our next house will be
I have chosen this little Plein Air Painting as my inspiration
for a few new furnishings
I have chosen this little Plein Air Painting as my inspiration
for a few new furnishings
It has wonderful coral and turquoise hues
as well as yellow, rich greens, terra-cotta and salmon
The colors of this old Roseville Wisteria vase are similar
And something about the terra cotta, greens and blues in this glaze
are so beautiful together
I think this vase dates from 1920-1940
so those may have been the colors that people really liked
during California's golden era
This old basket has wonderful old paint in oyster white with just the right amount of wood peeking through....
beautiful simple color
beautiful simple color
Old storage firkins are a beautiful example of how color can become
more rich and interesting with time
So I purchased a few things to get me started....keeping in mind the colors of the little painting
first up
a clean and calm Ushak rug

Millie...of course is quite pleased with this purchase
I found a few old indigo batik pillows
with blue-green
with blue-green
and cream
For some of the larger pieces I like the neutral texture of linen in stripes and solids
and maybe some ticking thrown in
These are a fun colors to use as large pillows....
I really like the bright melon and turquoise velvet
colors found again the the painting

And a really unique fabric I purchased is this
Antique Japanese Boro panel
Antique Japanese Boro panel
Japanese boro's are folk textiles,
pieced together as the fabric became worn
because cotton was highly prized for it's warmth
The fabrics are all hand loomed, died with indigo
and stitched together by hand
randomly... but with great care
this beautiful boro dates to 1800-1850
the color and texture is really quite amazing
and I have never used anything like this before
I love the fact that all of the patches are sewn by hand
and the textures are both rough and soft
So I need to get started right away
to furnish a new living room
and I will be using
my patchwork of inspiration
see you soon
