Kathryn Ireland {textile abode}
I ran across these gorgeous images of Textile Designer Kathryn Irelands California home from House Beautiful. I love everything about this abode! the rustic furniture, and the mix of color and pattern that makes me think of Mexico, Africa, & east India. But, hey, what more could you expect from the home of a textile designer! The first bedroom and office setting is just divine..and I would simply love to be gently awaken by the glowing sun basking through the windows! Oh my..what a lovely place wouldn’t you say? Our living room walls are a rich Caribbean blue and these images gives me so much color inspiration to lean on. Now I want to go & seek out some fabulous textiles, and buy a dozen red roses & a pretty white vase! Lovely!
I am always a fan of colorful tones and I think the cool rich turquoise paired with the deep reds and tangerines are perfect, and the textiles in her home are fabulous(of course) pieces of art. I love to decorate little vignettes with textiles, like a stack of old vintage quilts or sheets, or folded remnants of culturally inspired fabrics. In my eyes, it is all art!
