Discovering John Dickinson
I like to think that I know everyone and everything but sometimes things slip past me. One being the designer John Dickinson. Now I knew of him, atleast through his designs, but only recent discovered who he was and what he had created. Born and bred in California, John Dickinson is considered one of the most influential and interiors and furniture designers of the 20th century.
You might know him from his classic plaster furniture, created in the 1970′s. There has been a huge influx of interpretations over the last few years. One of the companies who does it best is Oly, who I’ve carried in the store since the day I opened. John’s most known pieces are his footed stool, his faux bois 4 poster bed and his footed bench.
And check out Oly’s pieces…..
the true genius of john dickinson was how ahead of his time he was. He was one of the first designers to utilize inexpensive fabrics in elegant applications. (think of restoration hardware, elegant styled furniture but slipcovered or upholstered in basic cotton, linen or burlap)
For this alone, I will be forever grateful to mr. dickinson. So next time you are perusing through your favorite design blog or your favorite magazine (House Beautiful!) keep an eye out, i bet you’ll see his influence somewhere in those pages…

Our fantastic line of vintage needlepoint and crewel pillows!
We get these fabulous vintage pillows from a really hip chick in Texas. She finds the vintage needlepoint and crewel pillows, cleans them up with new inserts and new backings, to make them as beautiful as the day they were made.
I first noticed these at the NYIGF a few years back and was smitten. Unfortunately my mom had talked me out of buying them. But they stuck in my head. Then at the next show I just said “I’m doing it!” and I almost bought her entire booth out.
We have had such great response to these pillows. They remind those of us, who remember them, of a different time in our lives. These pillows are better than a photo or a memory because you can touch them, cuddle with them, and most importantly have a chuckle about them.
