A cashmere and silk hand-printed textile from Rani Arabella. I love the colors here, but the price is a little out of my league at $1,245.00 for a 49" x 79" piece.

Hot House Flowers

I love the saturated colors in the Celerie Kemble 2008 fall collection for F. Schumacher. It has a Palm Beach-meets-Scandinavian feel that I adore. My favorite? Hot House Flowers in "Spark". This floral pretty much sums up my current color obsession: turquoise and blood orange. Then, add navy with hits of red and citrine. I love it. LOVE.

As a designer, I am my own worst client. I have issues committing to fabrics with color, let alone prints in my own home. I change my mind constantly. However, I fell in love with Hot House Flowers at first sight and saved myself from a house full of beige. I immediately ordered enough fabric for my living room pillows and now, I don't want to change it (well, not yet). Here are some pretty images with a similar color scheme...

Not only do I love Celerie Kemble's Hot House Flowers, but my dining chairs are newly reupholstered in this lovely number: Betwixt

Oh, and my kitchen window treatments are in Bleeker "Bear"

Yeah, I really like this collection.
