Thought for the day . . .


"Spend more, buy less.
Cheap stuff is usually cheap because of how it's made, what it's made of and who made it.  Buy better quality goods, less often . . ."

           - Ellen Lupten from thinking with type - a design handbook

Bainbridge Blues in Country Home . . .


We loved Country Home magazine 
and were saddened when it was shuttered  
along with a number of other wonderful publications - 
domino, House & Garden, Met Home, Gourmet . . .

We were especially sorry because 
Country Home had just completed a photo shoot 
using several of Bainbridge Blues' fabrics. 

As luck would have it, the magazine collapsed 
one month before the article was to go to print!

BUT - there is a silver lining . . . read on . . .




Recently, Country Home released its second "special edition" issue featuring 
favorite homes from previous issues . . . as well as lovely homes in new 
locations - all presented in a slightly different format . . .


What a pleasant surprise to discover the very article featuring our fabrics 
in this new issue . . . while we were browsing in a magazine stand at the airport!


So . . . we now know that in the lovely home of an antique dealer in Indiana 
a settee is upholstered in our "timothy",
draped with a double sided, blanket stitched throw of "frances" 
and a lumbar pillow in "dylan"!


The stylists for the photo shoot slip-covered the wingback chairs in "william" 
and had throw pillows done  in "hattie".


We sincerely hope this stylish magazine comes back monthly someday!
