We love Ikat.

No matter how much I see it around I still love it.

It appeals to my preppy roots.

It fits in so great with colors and old homes, which is where we feel at home.

I would love to have my table set with these beautiful bowls.
Filled with tom yum soup or homeade gazpacho for the summer.

And put my feet up on this gorgeous ottoman!

While sitting on a black and white awning striped sofa!

I have been obsessed with this John Robshaw red poppy print forever and it is no longer available. It would also be gorgeous on a sofa.

A beautiful black and white ikat sofa!

is for Horses

I love the ethereal quality of this image.

Horses are so stunning and graceful. How great would it be to have a horse to take out and escape the stress of the day?

In the English countryside?

In a beautiful dress?

Even better.

FELT.

We love felt.

We love to make things out of felt or turn things we knit into felt.

The texture is so great and
there are so many possibilities!

Felt flowers!

is for

Flowers.

We love flowers.
Spring is here and it makes me want to have flowers everywhere.
Rach's husband is allergic to flowers so she is always trying to sneak them into the house under the radar. Often they end up on the back porch. Small or big, a bouquet of flowers cheers up every room.

I love the way this all looks like it could come from your backyard.

My mom has the most amazing garden in the summer, full of flowers and vegetables!

is for Fireplaces.

via Domino

We love fireplaces.

When we were growing up there was always a fire in the fireplace . When I was a kid and couldn't sleep I would sometimes sit at the top of the staircase and watch my dad sit by the fireplace in the dark, listening to jazz. I loved the way he seemed so content to sit by the fire. I love my dad. I also love the sounds and smell of a real fireplace. The crackling and the familiar smell of burning wood. I think this is one of my favorite kitchens. The fireplace is huge and the ebony floors look great with the white cabinets and table.

via MrsBlandings

A fireplace in the living room is great, but what a luxury to have a roaring fire while soaking in the bathtub.

via NewYorkSocialDiary

Or in the kitchen.
I love the subway tiles on this fireplace.

There is so much you can do with a mantel.

How about a fireplace in the bathroom next to your closet.

Dinner with friends by the fire!

I love brick painted white!

A fireplace in the bedroom!
