Annette Tatum Guest Blogger

Annette Tatum Nursery

This is my first time as a guest blogger on Layla Grayce and I am so happy to be part of their selected designers! The girls, Tiffany and Wendy, hold a special place in my heart for it was many years ago that they came to me seeking advice and product to open their web site. The world of web retailing was new then and they took a great idea and built www.laylagrayce.com which is today a fabulous, go-to site for all things in the world of home décor. Through the years they have also been super supportive of my line which is why I am so happy that they are one a few selected web retailers to carry the new “Annette Tatum” line as well as my new book The Well Dressed Home.

Welcome to Annette’s House

Annette Tatum Nursery

The much anticipated launch of Annette Tatum’s new line of crib bedding has finally arrived, and we are tickled pink to be one of the select vendors to offer these fresh new patterns online. And my, my – what a grand new line this is! Still holding true to her soft simplicity Annette kicks the fun up a notch with a few Alice in Wonderland-esque sets like Sprout and Forest, which are playful in all the right ways, inventive, and charmingly unisex. And much to our delight Annette’s new line still embodies elements of the bohemian with fabrics like Brocade, Goa, Daisy, India Toile, and Pirouette. In with the new!

Lights, camera, texture!

Jamie Young Lighting Fall 09

We have one word for you – texture. Fresh and vibrant with a touch of modern has always been the basis for Jamie Young designs, but the latest additions to this line introduce glorious elements of texture at every turn. Some are just simple glowing suggestions such as the Mother of Pearl Udipur Pendant or the Cubed Faux Horn Base, with their glossy surfaces embracing the texture of these natural elements. And then you have the Jute Urn Rope and Spiral Sea Glass Base which shout their raw and inviting texture from the roof tops. And let’s not forget those gorgeous shades. Presented in unconventional ways with the Classic Drum Cork and the (oh my!) Hand Painted Platinum Drum, these stylish shades get kicked up a notch. Touchable (and functional) works of art for your very own home, anyone?

Day of the Dog

dash-and-albert1

Being a fan of both simplicity and functionality when it comes to rugs, Dash and Albert would seem an obvious choice. But their impressive nature really lies in the pairing of colors and ability to translate them in to every room in the house. The latest introductions to the line are no exception. The Marina Stripe, Pond Stripe, Miles Duck Egg and St. John’s Indoor/Outdoor Rugs use subtle basic colors that work with all décor and are spiced up with unexpected hues like lime greens and aqua blues. And of course, the durable nature of these hybrid rugs make them ideal for letting the same patterns flow out your doors and onto your patio. It’s like adding a room onto your house!

Thinking outside the box is definitely Dash and Albert’s forte. Who would think pink for a living room rug? But the cheery stripes of the Port Stripe and Taffy Rugs work to freshen up the space and pique your interest. The unexpected color choices help to break up any overwhelming amounts of dark wood in your furniture. And no need to forgo ease of care and affordability with this line – Dash and Albert has it all.
