Suzani's... patchwork... armchairs. Oh my!

We would like to introduce you to...

bokja

Let it be known, we are completely infatuated with these designs.

Bokja pieces are created with artisans in Beirut, Lebanon

by creative duo, Huda Baroudi and Maria Hibri.

Bokja is a Turkish word that describes the elaborate

and detailed fabric created to cover a bride's dowry.

Embroidered by the bride's relatives, this fabulously worked

textile is meant to be a reminder of her past to be treasured in her new life as a married woman.

By marrying vintage furniture with

vintage Middle Eastern and Central Asian textiles fabrics-

this Lebanese duo are creating pieces that combine their love for

vintage furniture, antiques, vintage textiles and tapestries...

Artisans are often enlisted with a mind to help women,

with female prisoners and widowers who are being given an opportunity to support their families

in an otherwise desperate situation.

We really need at least one of these pieces in our home asap!

Anyone willing to help us cart them over from Beirut?

Turquoise Accents

We thought it was just us that had a turquoise obsession but we've realised there

are a lot of you out there who love it too!

Personally we think everyone should have a little turquoise in their home...

which is why we made our turquoise coffee table!

Here are some more cute turquoise styling ideas!

inspirational bali...

We recently went on a trip to Bali...

and we absolutely fell in love

Bali is full of amazing textiles and architectural bliss!

We thought we'd share a few of our favourite snaps x

The one and only... Florence x

It would be shameful to have a blog about interiors

and not mention our absolute favourite inspiration in the textile industry...

Florence Broadhurst

We've studied and admired her work for so many years-

and it is safe to say that her prints never grow old

Their amazing line work, colour combinations and beautiful motifs

have survived through decades of fads in the textile world

Although she suffered a violent death

at age 76 in her Paddington studio, 1977

her design legacy lives on

You can purchase her wallpaper and fabrics here

and purchase her hand woven rugs -amazing- here

PS If anyone would like to buy me a gift:

I NEED the horses stampede rug in my house as soon as possible!
