PURE Elements Collection

Just released - PURE Elements Collection!!  This collection of organic cotton canvas consists of some of my favorite patterns and colors.  It is different than my PURE Bliss and PURE Kick Collections because it is printed with low-impact reactive dye, which allows for deeper, richer, color, as well as, better wear and washability.  I'm so excited to share it with you!!

Swatches anyone?

guest post { A Bit Of Bamboo }

Today’s guest post is from Jessica, a writer for Arcadian Lighting blog.  It is all about bamboo furniture - I really LOVE the lime green bamboo Chippendale chairs!

Hello everyone! I'm Jessica, a writer from Arcadian Lighting, which is a wonderful online source for lighting fixtures and interior design inspiration. I'm delighted to be guest posting on PURE Inspired Design today because I'm going to be sharing some very lovely interiors that feature bamboo. Aside from the fact that bamboo is aesthetically pleasing, it is also Eco-friendly. Bamboo grows quickly without the need for pesticides, fertilizers and or even much water. I hope you enjoy!
Chinese Chippendale Chair
A single white Chinese Chippendale chare looks perfect against the ornate, vibrante curtains in this vignette. I love the subtle bit of blue piping on the curtains as well.

Bamboo Railings and Chairs
This delightful patio has a wonderfully exotic air with white bamboo railings and chairs. The pale pink has just a slight tropical flair that is very relaxing.

Chippendale Chairs
A bright key lime green helps these bamboo Chippendale chairs really pop against the dark brown shelves. Even the sparkling pendant light above have a slight green tint.

Bamboo Furnishing
This charming living room features a fun assortment of patterns. From the zigzag pattern on the floor to the floral pillows, the room is fresh and lively. Bamboo chairs and sofas join an eclectic mix of furnishings.

Bamboo Cupboard
The pink and green color of this girl's bedroom is so fresh and unexpected. The bamboo cupboard with pagoda details on top is especially whimsical and sweet.

Golden Bamboo Table
A lovely combination of Asian style and Hollywood Regency results in a very chic, glamorous room. The golden bamboo table picks up on the brilliant sunburst mirror. Even the wallpaper has a bamboo pattern.

Bamboo Furnishing
This casual living room has a decidedly colonial feel with it's mix of traditional furnishings and Asian accent pieces. Petite wall lamps bring attention to the collection of books in the built-in shelves.

Bamboo Chairs
This dining room is full of elegance and chic details. The bamboo chairs offer an unexpected, intricate accent to the room.

Vintage seeded glass pendants...

I'm thinking about pendants a lot lately...  I LOVE these seeded, mouth blown, vintage inspired pendants from Ballard Design.  The colors and seeded glass are so beautiful!!

Sneak Peek { PURE Elements Collection }

Here is a sneak peek of my PURE Elements Collection!  There are a bunch more color combinations, which I will reveal later.  This new collection is not printed yet, but it will be in a month or so.  I'm so excited because the PURE Elements Collection will be printed with reactive dyes, which means:
  • Color is rich and deep
  • NO fading when machine washed
  • Can be used on heavy use upholstery
I will have more exciting news to share in the coming weeks - I have a feeling that this will be the best year yet!!
