PAISLEY PATTERNS

Let's talk paisley.  It's an English term for a design using boteh or buta.  It's origin is Persia (sometimes called the Persian pickle) and has been around FOR-EV-ER; we're talking 3 AD!  It was popular in the West back in the 18th and 19th centuries. 

 

The paisley pattern resembles a twisted teardrop and a kidney shape and is still popular today.  You can see different paisley patterns in different color combos and these stylized designs are trending in all places for the home and fashion.  This old design is new again with each generation.

Serena and Lily collection



New designs for bathroom shower curtains!

There's nothing prettier than complementing your bathroom with a shower curtain.  It dresses up the room and creates a focal point in the space (next to the tile work, fixtures, paint and accessories).

If you want to make a quick and easy change to your bathroom, what better way than to change your shower curtain.  We have glass shower doors in our master bath but I love to dress up the spare bathrooms with a beautiful shower curtain.  You can do a summer/spring curtain and switch it up in the winter/fall.  I'm loving all the different designs and colors.

Take a look at some of the new designs from my favorite stores:

 


Serena and Lily Georgica Shower Curtain. This would look great in a child's bathroom

Serena and Lily Tassel Shower Curtain (available in Juice (pink), navy and citrine)
