Kantha quilts are beautiful hand made texililes which absolutely deserve eternal love and appreciation.
Yes, there are icky-cheapy pieces out there, and lots of them...but there are also stunning heirloom quality gems, often nestling in among the rubbish, and these pieces will always shine, whatever the tragic trend heads are following.
I too hate this shallow, airhead 'oh, so last season dahling' mentality...

Amazed that people would comment on -of all things!- the weight of your dogs!! Folk must really scour these photos. It would put me off opening myself up to this kinda thing.

Best ever,ever EVER house tour. This is it. THIS!

I love it sooooo much I can almost forgive the over use of the word 'curated'. Everything is curated these days. My neice (admittedly precocious) told me off when I said what a nice job she had done of displaying her stamp collection..."..not displayed Aunty. Curated."

Back to the point....yes, this. In every way, I'm feeling it. Yowza.

Lovely, I adore a good blanket. These remind a bit of the glorious Bolivian blankets from La Paz, with the stripes...imho those are unsurpassed as the worlds most beautiful blankets, better than any top designers efforts.

Oh, you think THAT vicky kitchen is bad? Ours is worse....we too are saving up to get it sorted. Its been awhile....lots of patience needed, i just remind myself of the conditions many people have to put up with all over the world...its not so heavy then.

I think the place looks wonderful now...in my dreams :))

You really can't beat the timeless beauty of these gorgeous rugs and kilims. They just ooze class

Yes nice house. Very neat and clean for a bloke. Stylish too with nice vintage features. Good one.

I'm really torn.
I love animal hides for the warmth and comfort, they look great etc. and if you are going to eat meat then the skins are a by product, which should be used.
BUT

I love animals too. I like meat I like animal skins, but I also love and respect the animals that live in the skins. And that's where it gets tricky. No matter how ethically treated and farmed animals are, they are still going to be slaughtered at the end of the day. And I keep swinging one way and another on this. And where theres a profit to be made, you can bet someone is going to ended being abused. Damm hard question.

I think its probably only cool, if you NEED the meat, the skin for you or your families well being, and prayers and gratitude are offered up to the animal, respect and awareness, all the way down the line. Having said that I do use animal products, and sometimes not thoughtfully, and I am not at all proud of that. Not at all. :(

I LOVE the layered rugs look! Nothing feels so luxe and generous as layered rugs and kilims underfoot, esp if they are lovely exotic eastern rugs... I've gotten some lovely ones lately from ebay, at great prices! Why pay more for mass produced cr*p??

Ew, whats with all this grey lately, its a dull old colour....I guess its just the whim of the moment. Generic and hotel like, not cozy, couldn't live there.
