Love for Belgian Linen

-

Last week I had an appointment with the representative of LIBECO, our world-known company for Belgian linen. It was a few months ago since he visited and I really needed some information about new linens, especially about the Libeco Home Collection, table and bed linen.

I am always surprised about all these beautiful, different textures and range of colors ! I just love the natural touch of our Belgian linen.

Since Axel Vervoordt introduced us to the linen slipcovers for seats and chairs, a lot of designers started to work with linen.

In Belgian interiors you will see linen used for draperies and blinds, for seating upholstery, table, bed and bath linen.

I am not aiming to tell you about the history of linen today, I want you to give some ideas how to use linen in your interior.

But if you want to know more about the flax’ history you will find a lot to read at the LIBECO website HERE.

Diane Dorrans Seaks of the Style Saloniste blog wrote a very interesting blogpost about Belgian linen HERE ! It is a most interesting article to read!

Growing up in the Belgian area, known for the linen industry, will definitely explain my love for linen.

I really love the combination of natural materials as here in our library, a combination of an oak woodpaneling and a linen upholstered seat.

There is a wide range of colors and textures available in linen fabrics.

And did you know that from the moment you order a certain number of meters, the LIBECO company will dye the linen in your particular chosen color!!!

So, linen can be used for all your window treatment.

Just love the color of the draperies matching the oak parquetry floor. Beautiful!

One of my favorite colors is celadon. Libeco offers a lot of shades of celadon linen. The Garnier’s sofa with a celadon slipcover.

Shabby Chic Cottage By The Sea

Today is glorious weather, the sun is shining, the sky is powder blue and I feel Summer might finally be here!  I've just been for a long walk with Poppy down to Mission Bay beach, walked  briskly along the promenade as Poppy pranced along beside me on the sea wall.  We walked through Kohimarama towards St Helier's and back and in between I introduced Poppy to her first time in the sea (a whole new post :))...Poppy is now lying comatose beside me as I'm typing, she is utterly worn out but a very happy little dog. I am full of the joys of sea, sun and sand, so in keeping with how I feel, today I'm sharing a delightful cottage also beside the sea but in the UK in Kent.  This unique home is full of interesting items and decorated 1930's style, don't you think it has a "shabby chic" but nautical feeling? The cottage has it's own private beach and the property is available for film/photo shoots through jj Locations, you will find a link at the end of th...
