January Inspiration

January 25, 2018

Black and white bedroom decor - Cotton & Flax inspirationSo inspired by the gorgeous black and white decor in Lauren Memarian‘s home. Her ability to keep her plants healthy is admirable, too. As if I weren’t already in love, I spy a Cotton & Flax Zig Zag pillow on her bed!

A few other things that sparked my imagination this month:

Loved seeing the NY Times feature Justina’s recipe for a feel good home.

Are you doing any spring cleaning? Ashley from The Gold Hive KonMari-ed her closet, and shared the process on Instagram Live.

Listening to Jessica’s Marbury Mix in the studio as we speak.

Really transfixed by the connections between quilters and abstract expressionists! If you live in NYC, I’d recommend going to see this show before it closes this weekend!

Picked up a copy of The Secret Lives of Color at the library, going to dive in this weekend!

New Years Resolutions

January 9, 2018

Michelle Obama QuoteIf you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I occasionally post inspiring quotes from women I admire. I gather these quotes under the hashtag #cottonandflaxinspiration, and I return to them often when I need to be lifted up. In 2018, I’m hoping to expand this series more, featuring more quotes, images I find in my research, as well as the art of friends who I admire. Follow me on Instagram to see the series take shape.

Happy new year! Here’s to a creative 2018!
