The Best of Linens

There is nothing better than cozying up under the covers during a rainstorm or on a hot afternoon. These bed linens from SFERRA are absolutely lovely and inviting I also have a guest blog today!

Floral Heaven

Francessca

Preston

Beautiful table linens can also be found at SFERRA.  These two collections are from the Kelly Wearsler line.

SFERRA also has beautiful, thick, absorbent towels.


As most of you know, I love linens.  This is just one of the selections I am fond of.  I have other posts on linens and their care in my archive if you are interested.

Now on to Embracing Etiquette with Teresa...


Dealing with Rudeness

“For a word of only four letters, ‘rude’ has more than its share of meanings, ranging from in-your-face aggressiveness to insults so subtle they don’t hit you until hours later. But the source of rudeness is always the same; a simple lack of courtesy and respect”.

“A speeder tailgates you on the freeway. An acquaintance asks about your salary. A man you’ve just met makes suggestive remarks about your figure. The woman at the cash register fails to even acknowledge your presence, much less say ‘thank you.’ On the surface these acts are very different, but at the bottom they all qualify as rude.”

“To understand rudeness, you need to see through its many games. It’s worth noting the myriad ways that people get under one another’s skin.”--- Emily Post

The next few posts with be on aspects of rudeness and the proper response.

See you soon,
Teresa

The A-List

Elle Decor's A-List in this month's issue is beautiful.  Below I have posted the rooms decorated by a few of my favorite designers, along with a few that were new to me.  To see the entire A-List of thirty talented designers in this month's Elle Decor visit the webpage or purchase a copy at your local bookstore.

For those of you that follow me, you know that Miles Redd is one of my favorite designers.  If you would like to see more by Miles Redd, I have an entire post on his work in my archive.

The ever so talented Charlotte Moss

Who doesn't love Michael Smith?

This playful decor by designer Alex Papachristidis mingles different colors and styles beautifully.

I love this dining area designed by Robert Couturier.

The peach upholstery used in this room designed by Joe Nahem is serene.

The bookshelves in this room by designer Jeffrey Bilhuber are interesting.

I couldn't find a better way to end this post.  I adore this room by designer William Sofield.

Please excuse my lack of attention to my blog this week, as things have been difficult at our house.  I hope to have the etiquette posts back on here next week.  Have a great weekend!

See you soon,
Teresa

I am happy to have gotten some really good photographs of this exhibit because it has been taken down. Southern Accents did a piece on this exhibit last year.








I was going to show you my photographs of some of the collections at the museum, but they have now put up a site with the permanent collections online. ENJOY!

They can also be found on Facebook.

You can find more on Patrick Dougherty here.

See you soon,
