Pillow Power

A big thank-you to House Beautiful magazine for featuring our "Circles" pillowcases in Teal in their "Make (Over) Your Bed" story in the February 2014 issue! We couldn't agree more...just changing your pillowcases provides a pop of color and can completely change the feel of any room. Pillowcases are our favorite way to mix-and-match bedding with little commitment. (Because let's be honest...it's HARD to pick a duvet or quilt to commit to, right??)

See the full slideshow of great ideas here, and shop all Plover Organic pillowcases here.

Happy almost Spring!

Magic Carpets

Vintage textiles are still the most inspiring/inspired stuff out there, and we can't get enough. Our latest source: "Berber Carpets of Morocco: The Symbols, Origin and Meaning," by Bruno Barbatti.  A fascinating read (who knew carpets were so sexy?), but it's the incredible rugs that will draw you in. (Pardon any blurriness, but you're meant to be enticed to buy the book for yourself!) Some of our favorites are below...

Right Now! One Kings Lane

Unframed Pierre Kittler gouache, 1968

If you read this blog post in the next 3 days and 9 hours, go to One Kings Lane immediately (!) to check out their sale on Docantic, Inc. vintage goache pattern prototypes. You could spend hours browsing the sale and looking at all the patterns close-up (if you're anything like me). Or, if you act quickly, you could actually purchase some. (I confess I just spent way too much money, but it was too tempting!) But if nothing else, go for the inspiration.
