Maison Object the Latest in Linens Part One

We, at Beadboard, LOVE Bed and Table linens.

We especially love the ones made out of LINEN and cotton PERCALE.

You see a lot of the cotton sateen these days, the cotton sateen has the smoother more silk charmuse like finish. Percale, feels like your mother's cotton sheets but with todays technology and the higher thread counts they feel smooth as silk. Above, the solid color collection from French Designer Anne De Solene. Beautiful collection...Will provide more pictures and info on a blog later ...

I am sorry I don't know who this is, ( I think it's Graebel) but it looks like Europe is still into color. Even smaller companies are offering coordinating towels and sheeting in Many choices of color.

I think this is Graebel. They are doing a lot of organic cottons and note the pic stitch on the coverlets. Still very popular over there. We saw the same pic stitch at Blanc D'Ivoire.


More subtle colors in a traditional coverlet spread with diamond quilting.



This was the offering at Bellora, Lots of greys thank you very much, (love them) but WHOA!!!!!!! The buy in for this company, I was told, and I HOPE this guy just didn't know what he was saying......... was 15000 EUROS which translates into 22000 US dollars. (Most minimums are in the 1000 Euro range especially after the US Dollar went south) I verified and said are you sure?????That seems high. And frankly this wasn't WOW enough for me to even consider that kind of investment...... Maybe you'll see it at Macy's.(I don't think they'd go for this either)




The floral print on the linen duvet was pretty but we can get very similar looks here in the US.
I think this looks like the Hamptons........



Colors?????Mauve, (but mixed up with other things....) And OPRAH, are you ready for this???????? THE COLOR PURPLE IS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!! Is is dark even for summer, violet, lavender , indigo like, and portrayed with my favorite pairing, Green........

A lovely bed from Bluemarine, PLEASE NOTE, AMERICAN BED MANUFACTURERS!!!!

I love the platform bed tweaked into a more traditional mode. Yves Delorme did this last year, very successfully, a French bed but in a platform style, with cabriole legs.... There is a company we will be carrying that has platform beds like this and I will be blogging on it later, available in the US with FABULOUS Finishes and incredible grey taupe colors........ No need for box springs!!!!

Another lovely offering from Blumarine...

A little note........Swarovski crystal was everywhere... But used very tastefully, and they actually laser them on, no glue, so that they can endure the cleaning process much better..... Much more to come........The next installment Libeco Lagae and how they hit one out of the park!!!!!Also Peacock Alley, how they have reinvented themselves to be a new force in this market!!!!!!!
