Super Modern Decor – Anthology Magazine

July 27, 2015

So excited to have spotted Cotton & Flax tea towels in the Design Matters issue of Anthology Magazine! This was in an article on the beautiful home of Richard Kim and Kristine Arellano of Presshaus LA – you might recognize her home as the location where I shot my Fall/Winter lookbook with Laure Joliet!

I can’t get enough of their home. They designed their gorgeous modern home from the ground up, and as any lover of minimalist modern decor knows, it’s tough to achieve this level of cohesive beauty!

You can check out more photos from Jessica Comingore’s shoot for Anthology Magazine over on her blog.

Cotton & Flax x Pennyweight tea towels

I was surprised to find that there are still a few of my limited edition tea towels left in the Pennyweight Goods shop! Go snatch one up, once they’re gone, I won’t be reprinting them!

Cotton & Flax pillows

Cotton & Flax DNA Pillow from the S/S Collection

So excited to finally share the Spring/Summer Collection for Cotton & Flax! Many of the most popular colors and designs are sticking around, and the lovely mint green fabric, which was retired for many months, has returned to the collection (on pillows both large and small). I love all the color that has been packed into this collection, it really is just the thing to ring in this late-coming spring.

By popular request, coasters are back in the shop, including a lovely new latte color. I am still so in love with that wool felt material, it’s really a perfect blend of casual class for easy entertaining.

As I mentioned, I worked extensively with Hollin Brodeur to photograph the new and continuing products for this season. Photos 1, 3, 6, and 14 were taken by Hollin, the rest are my own. Thanks for scrolling though this photo heavy post, I hope you’re as excited about the new look as I am!

Cotton & Flax + Pennyweight Goods

February 25, 2013

I’m excited to share a limited edition tea towel that debuted on Pennyweight Goods today! This was such an enjoyable project, Elise gave me lots of creative freedom to create something special for her readers. I found a lovely grey linen, with the heathered look of chambray, which I turned into a fun variation on the brushstroke tea towels I sell in my shop.

I particularly love the way Elise styled the towels in her photoshoot! I will be trying to emulate her effortless style in my own photos in the future. Head over to Pennyweight Goods to take a look at the sale, and check out the Pennyweight blog to check out the interview!

Photographing the collection

February 1, 2013

It seems to take me way too long to take photos of new work. Slowly but surely, though, I am amassing more photos of the newer items for the Cotton & Flax shop. I hope to share more here on the blog soon.

New Tea Towels in the Shop

November 13, 2012

Photographed a couple of the new tea towels yesterday. I know I shouldn’t complain about lack of sunlight (living in Southern California and all), but it has been much trickier getting good light for my new product photos now that it’s getting towards winter. These photos will do for now, although I bet my perfectionist side will make me drag the camera out again on the next bright day.

These linen/cotton blend tea towels are great for tidying up the kitchen, or using as a placemat for an afternoon treat if a friend drops by unexpectedly. I still really love this diamond pattern, remember when I shared the drawing behind this pattern?

You can also download an iPhone wallpaper in this pattern for free. Fun!
