I absolutely love beautiful, hand printed textiles and was thrilled to discover the work of JA Design Studio. The Miami based company offers an assortmet of luxury textiles including table linens, throw pillows, custom bedding, drapery panels and more. They also have a line fabrics by the yard called Plumwich, which is available exclusively to the trade via showrooms around the country. Each design is screen printed by hand, mostly on fine Belgian linen but also on cottons, silks and velvets. The products are beautifully finished and possess an antique like quality that only adds to their appeal. The patterns and colors are also highly customizable, allowing clients to the ability to choose designs that are truly unique. The designer behind the line is Janet A Fernandez who was born in Sweden and lived in Rome for 20 years where she worked as an interior designer. Fernandez moved to the states in 1995 and launched JA Design Studio in 2000. Her work is informed by her Swedish and Italian background and many of her prints are based on classical designs. Pricing for tabletop items such as placemats and napkins start at around $58, pillows start at $280 and tablecloths are quite pricey, at around $1200. Here in the New York area, you can find the line at The Elegant Setting in Southampton. To inquire about stores in your area or for more information, visit the JA Design Studio website here. And for your viewing pleasure, below are photos of some of my favorite prints from their line. Hope you love these as much as I do!

The 1300 square foot Yum Yum loft is in a 200 year old building which used to be a factory and some of the building’s original details still exist such as the rustic wood beams that run through the ceilings. Gracia and Vanessa wanted a modern looking space that played off the charm of the loft’s original details. They needed a dining table that could seat at least 10 comfortably and they also wanted to incorporate Yum Yum’s signature color which is a super bright red.

Right now I’m kind of obsessing over Rashida Jones’ Los Angeles home which is featured in this month’s Glamour. With the help of up-and-coming LA decorator Katie Fine and her friend, celebrity stylist Estee Stanley, Jones transformed her home into a casual, slightly bohemian yet very sophisticated retreat. Many of the furnishings were sourced from Mecox Gardens (a favorite of mine!) and Dan Marty Design, a local LA custom furniture, accessories and antiques store in Los Angeles. The home features a neutral palette with pops of color introduced through accessories. It’s obvious that Jones has great taste and her home is definitely a reflection of her personal style. Remember her super cool NYC studio which was featured in the Feb ’08 issue of Domino? Love! What a great life to be bi-coastal with two fabulous homes! Enjoy the photos!

By the way-This is Katie Fine on the left. She decorated actress Emmy Rossum’s amazing Beverly Hills Home too which was also featured in Glamour a while back. She’s definitely one to watch and I predict we’ll be seeing a lot more of her work in the future!
