Isn't it a bummer when you see something in a magazine you love and look at the credits and it says "antique". Example.. this image from May/June 2008 Cottage Living:
When I saw this image, I was in love with that rough linen pillow. It's antique.
But did you see Design*Sponge this AM? Grace featured Rough Linen, a source for beautiful linens like the pillow above.
Loooove:
Speaking of linen, Denver Fabrics has 100% Linen on sale right now for $7.95. This tan linen is pretty similar to my Cottage Living inspiration picture (click on image for link):
It would be great for so many things... pillows, sofa slipcovers, even a duvet if you are brave (or have a great seamstress).
ps- thanks to you readers for the previous tip of putting black paper behind my magazine scan. It worked beautifully on the image above.

Awesome find! Thanks for passing along the tip!
ReplyDeleteYes I saw this and I must have!! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteAh I must agree with you. I get so bummed when it says antique and you can't just go and pick it up!
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you! It took me a long time to find the coarser weave, natural linen I use for Rough Linen - I needed it to be European for the quality, and at a reasonable price. It feels very similar to the antique Irish linen I have, from my grandmother. So glad you get it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I love linen (even when it's wrinkled and crinkled!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
