Madeline Weinrib Designs Carpet for a Cause

I’m a huge fan of Madeline Weinrib’s globally inspired carpet and textile collections. Her designs are simply stunning but aside from creating beautiful things, what I also love about Weinrib is that in both her business and personal life she has always embraced the idea of social responsibility. Her latest initiative is a collaboration with Project Mala, a non-profit organization that works to build schools and eliminate child labor in the carpet weaving region of India.

Totally Loving: Bullion Fringe

Inspired by Liv Tyler’s fabulous sofa which I recently blogged about, I have a newfound obsession with bullion fringe! Bullion fringe is a type of trim made with rope like twists of thread, often silk, that hang down and is typically used on upholstery. It’s a detail that lends a very traditional feel to your upholstery so the look may not be for everyone, but I absolutely love it! I wanted to pull some more inspiration photos of this look and I immediately thought of a few decorators I know who love this decorative element and use it over and …

I’d like to take a moment away from our regularly scheduled holiday programming to discuss actress Liv Tyler’s fabulous sofa! I spotted this picture on Instagram and immediately thought to myself: “TO DIE FOR!” I am in the process of designing a custom sofa for my place and thought I had settled on a style but after seeing Liv’s sofa – with its fabulous bullion fringe – I may have to rethink my direction!
