After looking over my posts this week, it appears that a bit of a theme has developed. Specifically, fabulous new-to-me blogs. And this one is no exception, both in the new-to-me department and most especially, in the fabulous department. These images are culled from the blog of the very talented Louise Bell. Louise, until recently, honed her design chops as creative director of Cosmopolitan, Cleo, and Dolly magazines. And her newest creative endeavor, Table Tonic, an online shop specializing in a spectacularly curated collection of hand woven silk ikat cushions, vintage suzanis, colorful embroidered Mexican bedspreads, and even antique Rajasthani tribal jewelry is coming soon. I, for one, can't wait! Just looking at the gorgeous, rainbow-hued selection above has me drooling.
And just so you know, the first three shots are from Louise's own home, designed by her talented architect husband. Be sure to check out her blog, Table Tonic, for more images of her stunning abode and a plethora of other fabulous interiors and enticing design finds.
