I'm kind of smitten with this little pillow today.
Every now and then I find something really amazing from Land's End.
I love them because their prices are so reasonable.
My favorite thing about the pillow is how the polka dots have a painted look
that makes them more interesting and more chic than plain old polka dots.
It reminds me of a few other dotted designer fabrics that I love, Circo from Lee Jofa
and Tika from Lisa Fine, one of my favorite textile designers.
I've been thinking you could recreate this look with some diluted fabric paint
and a pencil eraser for a small scale look, or a round sponge for a large scale dot.
I haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but it could be a fun DIY.
Any takers?
I love a little bit of polka dot in an unexpected place.
It can take a sophisticated room and keep it from feeling too stuffy.
You expect to see a little bit of polka dot in a child's room
(love this from Jessica Helgerson)
but look how awesome it is in this office
But my all time favorite use of any ikat/dots has to bee these chairs from Lilly Bunn Weekes.
Jenny turned me on to her blog last year and it has been a favorite read.
Do you have any dots in your life?
