I was reading recently that Garnet Hill has teamed up with interior designer Nicola Manganello of Nicola’s Homes in Maine to create a lovely bedding collection that looks simply dreamy! I love all the texture and vintage charm in this new line, I think exceptional bedding is pretty important and though I don’t own tons of linens what I do have to dress my bed is quality — I can’t sleep on anything that feels scratchy or synthetic. Of course, beauty is important too and I can’t think of anything quite as nice than beautiful bedding. Nicola is a lady after my own heart, she loves combining the old with the new.
“Nicola’s philosophical approach to bedding embraces creativity with one rule: a match, not a set, makes a statement. Antique quilts, traditional needlework, vintage linens, and turn-of-the-century prints — it’s all about combining patterns, colors and textures in an artful way. This new collection draws inspiration from the contrast: the mixing of flea market finds, antique shop treasures, and heirloom pieces nestled away in attics — and newer boutique discoveries from international artisans.” – Garnet Hill.
Would you like to see this new collection? You’ll have to wait until Wednesday, August 5th when it premieres on the Garnet Hill website — mark your calendar!

Absolutely beautiful! Any suggestions on where to find a lamp similar to that shown with the blue shade? (I’m in LOVE with that blue shade).

I agree she is talented in design, however I caution anyone to purchase from her website! I purchased lamp shades a month ago that were not properly packaged for shipping, crushed in the process and not useable. She is weak on follow through, no customer service and to date, has not issued a refund for the returned merchandise that I paid $48.00 in shipping to return because she did not know how to issue a return tag! I am currently out almost $225.00 with no merchandise………not an acceptable way to conduct business in my book.
