Sunshine!!

 Miss Chelsea and her favorite resting spot . . .

especially when the sun is shining!!

Of course - we think she is absolutely darling . . .

especially on this lovely seat cushion made up in our very own Bainbridge Blues fabric!

( Dylan - 1403A - 13 )

We also love how the throw pillow coordinates with it . . . made from a Brunschwig and Fils fabric.

( Le Lac Border Linen Print - BR-71165 )

Hope you are also enjoying a bit of sunshine . . .

on this crisp winter day!!

creams, pale blues, soft yellows and true reds!

and this one . . . well let's just say - it is one of our favorites!

The Rosa Bernal fabric line . . . "celebrates the return of lost fabric designs".

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!

Favorite Finds . . .

Bainbridge Blues fabrics are in the september / october
 issue of  Victoria magazine  . . .

The entire magazine is about  "Romantic England".  

Charming villages  . . .  lovely gardens  . . .  quaint shops  . . .

this issue is perfect to curl up with on a lazy fall day!

Egg & Dart, Ltd. Window Display (Denver, Colorado)

We took a trip to Denver in mid-December to visit one of our showrooms . . .

Egg & Dart, Ltd.

Here is a quick look at the design concept for a front window display including a

custom "cool mist" paint color for the peg wall. 

Here is the concept vision . . .

We love the way our fabrics work so well with their other fabric lines in the showroom . . .

including Cowtan & Tout, Ralph Lauren and (Mikhail Pietranek) by Gaetano . . .

Below are the Bainbridge Blues fabrics that we are using for this installation . . .

The window display will also include . . .

Cowtan & Tout (11054-03) "Edenwood" red, blue linen

Ralph Lauren (LFY60458F) "Ice House Stripe Barn"

Gaetano (Mikhail Pietranek) "Manhattan-05" (terra-cotta)

On our visit, we also discovered an incredible carpet collection by
Mitchell Denburg made of 100% natural fibers (wool, sisal, cotton . . .)

The samples are amazing!!!

The Dixon Group . . .

The very first "to the trade" showroom

that represented our Bainbridge Blues' fabrics in 2009 was . . .
 
The Dixon Group

 It is an absolutely wonderful design showroom and is located at the Seattle Design Center . . .

just south of downtown Seattle.

It has always been one of our favorite showrooms due to their great furniture and fabric lines . . .
a welcoming and knowledgeable staff . . . and professional service to top it off.

Here are a few photos of their beautiful showroom . . .

The Dixon Group has always carried some of our very favorite fabric lines . . .
such as Cowtan and Tout and Calvin to name a few - as well as quality furniture lines such as . . .
The Farmhouse Collection, Charles Pollock and others . . .

Here is a wonderful Farmhouse Collection bed made up with some Bainbridge Blues fabrics as well as . . .
a great tan-plaid pillow made from a 100% linen fabric from Ralph Lauren.

The fabric panels on the bed are made from our "Katie" fabric and have been tied with . . .
a light-blue linen fabric from Calvin. We think they work beautifully together!

The Farmhouse Collection also makes this wonderful foot stool!

Here is one of our very favorite Charles Pollock chairs. It has an option for a fantastic
magazine pocket on the sides for your favorite magazines . . . "luxe" (shown above) being one of our current favorites!
Here at Bainbridge Blues . . . we have nick-named it "The Magazine Chair" . . .
and we think it is one of the best chairs ever!

We love the wood details and especially the rush seat on this particular piece . . .

and their wood finishes are absolutely amazing!!

Here on the Charles Pollock Country Rush Settee . . .
the Bainbridge Blues "Katie" (cream and brown bird) is shown with . . .
pillows made from a Cowtan & Tout (floral) as well as
a wonderful Ralph Lauren (blue check) fabric.
The Settee itself is upholstered in the "Frances" (cream and brown check) from Bainbridge Blues.

Here is our Bainbridge Blues peg wall.
These extra-large pieces of fabric are useful for designers and their clients to touch, feel . . .
and drape over furniture pieces while visiting the showroom
or they can be borrowed for client meetings, etc . . .

There is also a Bainbridge Blues' concept board . . . for ideas and inspiration!!

For more information on the above fabrics and furniture . . .

please contact The Dixon Group directly . . .
