Let’s talk about a wonderful fabric and furniture company called Chelsea Textiles.  I was first introduced to them when I was in the Seattle Design Center in the early 2000s when I stumbled into a beautiful wall of fabrics. Love at first sight!  

Chelsea textiles produces hand embroidered fabrics.  They reproduce designs from the 17th and 18th century in addition to more modern patterns. Let’s enjoy:

 Tree of Life collection in faded moss, above.  Don’t you like the deer in it?  Chelsea Textiles is also known for the check printed fabric, as above on the bench.

 The tree of life with birds, above. I love all of the colors!

Exotic tree collection, above.  I love the one with the elephant!

 These dog needlepoint pillows crack me up.

And now for some inspiration at home:

All of the pictures above were taken from Chelsea Textiles website.

 I would LOVE to have some curtains from their fabric.  Someday I also hope to cover some chairs in their beautiful check fabric, like this:

When we were in London last year, we ventured over to the Chelsea Textiles showroom.  It is a short walk from the Harrods in Knightsbridge.  You walk through a beautiful neighborhood that looks like this:

As a souvenir, I hauled this pillow all the way back home, stuffed into my carry-on.  Isn’t it lovely?  I think most people in their twenties wouldn’t be hauling back fancy pillows from London.  

But this… this is a lifetime pillow. 

 Look at the detail on the squirrel! (pictures above are my own)

As you can imagine, hand-embroidered delicate fabric by Chelsea Textiles costs an arm and a leg.  For the tree of life curtains: your first born!!  

Several years ago I purchased the below bedding set from Pottery Barn.  Doesn’t it remind of you of some of the patterns of Chelsea Textiles?

 It appears to be hand woven, but I don’t think it is.  

The bedding pattern was called “Alissa”.  You can still find it on eBay.  I did not take a picture of my own bed because right now I have the summer bedding on… no comforters when it is 100 degrees outside!

Wasn’t that fun?  Did you choose which cushion you would like?  If you ever visit New York or London, visit their showroom!  Or you can continue to drool online.
