You can hang on to your beloved mid-century pieces and still have room to add a b
Beautiful! I can’t help but smile when I see the word. Beautiful can mean something different to all of us. Webster’s Dictionary meaning is: having qualities of beauty: exciting aesthetic pleasure.

Textiles to me are the ultimate rush. I know what you are thinking but hear me out. My heart starts to palpitate faster and my hands can’t hold back from touching the luxurious velvets, intricately embroidered linens and the deliciousness of silk!
