We’re obsessed with linen bedding! We indulge in our white Libeco sheets and can’t tell you how perfect they are – they will make you feel like a queen! We visited their showroom last Market and got to see all of their beautiful products right from the mother ship! Belgium! This Market they introduced some colored striped bedding – quilted and bright – that was just divine.

And this month they’ve made it onto Elle Decor’s “What’s Hot!” list.

   We’re Obsessed – Zippy Patterns

1. Valentine’s Day – “I love that there is a holiday dedicated to showing love to others – from my kids’ valentines to the chick flicks. I think its a good excuse to tell someone you love them. (It doesn’t have to be romantic) just admirable! I admire so many great men and women in my life! And I secretly hope my husband will do something unexpected without too much prompting.” – Jessica

2. Hot Chocolate – ” I love the cold weather outside so I can grab a blanket and hot chocolate and snuggle up to my hubby.” – Jen

3. Leap Year – “It only comes every four years! What’s not to love!” – Holly

4. Pink! – Valentine’s Day and Pink! The perfect of all combinations

5. Candy Hearts – Just a little bit of elementary school love nostalgia.

6. Chocolates – It’s the month to indulge in something rich and decadent.

7. Fresh Flowers – “I love fresh flowers in the dead of winter! Such a luxury!!” – Jessica

8. Bubble Baths & Candles – Nothing like warming up and relaxing on a cold winter’s evening with a delicious smelling candle and a good read.

9. Love – Everyone has love in their life. Let the ones you admire and love know that you think they are great this month!

We are so excited about one of our new bedding lines! Libeco Home offers bed linens made of Belgian linen that are luxurious and comfortable. We recently received a shipment of bed sheets in white and stone and have a sampling of duvet covers and other bed linens offered by Libeco Home.

Linen sheets are our most favorite because linen is an all-natural fabric that is hypoallergenic, antibacterial and thermo-regulating – it’s insulating in the cold and cool and breathable when it’s warm! They are extremely durable and exceptionally long-lasting. These sheets will actually get better as time goes by; they become softer, smoother and more lustrous.

One important thing to help your linen sheets last, is the way that you wash them.

WASHING
- Wash your linens as soon as possible after a spill or spot.
- Do not overload the machine.
- Choose the machine setting with maximum water level.
- Use a mild soap. Avoid strong detergents, especially concentrated forms.
- Do not use detergents with optical whiteners when washing linen.
- Avoid all types of bleaches.
- Recommended temperature is a warm wash 104 degrees F as a maximum.

DRYING
- Fill your tumbler with half the normal capacity in order to let the linen move freely during the drying process. Line-dry if desired.
- Do not over-dry. Use a short cycle setting as linen dries quickly.
- Use a medium temperature machine setting, and a slower tumble setting, if available.

PRESSING
- 100% linen can be ironed at the highest temperature with a hot steam iron.

   Lovely Thoughts…

Maybe it’s the autumn season and the rapid approach of the holidays, but here at Alice Lane we are loving gold!

Gold is a sophisticated neutral and can be used in any color scheme or style. It brings a bit of luxury and glamour and is a bold and unexpected, yet classic statement. Adding a gold lamp, mirror, side table or accessory brings a little bit of sparkle and character to a room.

Take a look at how a few gold accents have been used in a few of our favorite magazines and see what gorgeous gold items we have in the store right now!

Lamps on the left from top to bottom:
Goldberg Tall Wood Table Lamp – $525
Midas Table Lamp – $475

Side Tables above from left to right:
Sherwood Accent Table – $481
Annie Selke Atlas Square Table – $621
Oly Studio Vincent Gold Side Table –  $965

Mirrors on Right from Top to Bottom:
Federal Mirror – $503
Fleur Eglornise Mirror – $1,344

Ahhhh! The energy a zippy pattern will add to a room…

It just ignites a space. It’s contagious. If something is missing from your room… Consider adding pattern! If you’re traditional, a stripe, herringbone, or houndstooth may satisfy you.

I love a good graphic motif with plenty of repeat. It’s organized, but packs a punch. Suzanni’s and Ikat’s are a favorite if you like a little Tribal influence, that says “I’ve traveled. I’ve seen many wonders this land has to offer and my room has something to say! I am not afraid. Hear me roar!” (Throw in a little animal print with it all.)

See (and feel) the energy of layering some of these organized and organic patterns. You can see that one pattern may not be enough. Go for it!

If you enjoy and embrace this spirit of design, you are sure to enjoy Jonathan Adler’s work and attitude on life. Check out his Manifesto: (I can’t read it without smiling!)

   Book Report

Textures are imperative to our work. They are the story tellers. An entire room can be pulled together in a simple color palate, with the right depth of character. Each piece must have something unique about it. The textures must talk to each other.

There are plenty of inexpensive answers in furnishing a home. I’m okay with inexpensive, I’m not okay with sacrificing detail and quality. For instance, one of my favorite designer moves is using real hair-on-hide throw pillows. Plenty of people use animal prints that are printed on fabric – but here’s what they are missing: the texture, character, depth, quality, authenticity, the store… You get the contrast, and that’s it!

Note the photos below: We’ve grouped texture stories together to give you an idea of how to invite more texture into your home. I want to run my hand over everything!
