TEXTILES {RUBELLI}

rubelli.

It's been far to long between posts. My apologies! I've been a very busy girl as far as work. I was in LA and Laguna last week shopping for a client. We visited the PDC {Pacific Design Center} and little Melrose. Went in to all the wonderful showrooms, it was a great trip. This home is going to be Italian , old world -esque and the "guest suites" are going to be southwestern.

The main house is very grand in scale, and finishes will be beautifully done. It's a very exciting project and I am thrilled to be working on it. Thus why I am showing you Rubelli textiles. Beautiful fabrics with old Italy in mind. We will be selecting fabrics very soon. While we are pulling from multiple fabric houses, I really wanted you to know about Rubelli , Bergamo {also associated is Donghia.} Rubelli can tend to go modern on modern pieces, but when put on a wingback or armchair can look very old world.

TEXTILE TUESDAY

Designers Guild is a spin on whimsy & girly fabrics, wall coverings & furniture. The color is dramatic and saturated. Mixing patterns and textures creates an interesting palette. While I don't think that this line is for everyone, I do think it's really pretty.

Do you like?

Ruby Green is a brand + name you should know. All textiles are 100% organic cotton and beautifully designed! The fabric East Village {ikat chevron} has hit the blogosphere + newstands like crazy. Ruby ads are in Lonny Magazine so make sure you check it out.

Love the blue east village print! {would make great pillows for my sofa}

Mokum Textiles : designs on contemporary culture.

Mokum originated in Sydney, Australia and that is where the design studio resides today.  Their designs span from classic to contemporary and highly influenced by culture.

Well known for her ikat's and bold patterns, Madeline Weinrib's collection is beautifully exotic. Much of her inspiration stems from eastern influences, which I have a total weakness for. You may have seen her work in Elle Decor. Her website features: carpet, furniture, fabrics, accessories & fashion.

TEXTILE TUESDAYS

Today start's a new series.....TEXTILE TUESDAYS.

There really are so many aspects of design that can be alot of fun, with TEXTILES being one of them. Each week I will introduce a new textile company, so add to your resources ladies.

Donghia is a great line with an extensive collection of textiles. I visited the showroom at the Pacific Design Center while I was in LA last week on business and it was just fabulous! {more on that in a minute}  You may or may not recognize their fabrics from various magazines.

Harlequin is another textile line, they are based out of the U.K. and are represented in a number of showrooms in the U.S. Their textiles are fun and colorful and they have several collections.

With so many textile companies out there, I am just scratching the surface of possibilities. Are there any collections that you would love for me to feature? Do tell!

As for my LA business trip, it was a blast! We started at the Pacific Design Center which is HUGE compared to our design center in AZ. There was just so much to see. It was a really great inspirational trip and we found some great things for clients. I had lunch at the famous Ivy, which was delicious! Did some shopping on Robertson Blvd. and before we knew it we had to get back to the airport for our flight home! I did drive down Rodeo Drive as there wasn't enough time to walk it. I saw the Wilshire Hotel--drop dead gorgeousness. I was totally in love with all the flowers and trees in bloom. My favorite being the magnolia tree. Needless to say, the next LA business trip will include an overnight. I can't wait!
