Kouhi Line of Flatwoven Rugs just in time for summer and bare feet. You’ll want to walk on these beautiful carpets by the New England Collection. Customized to your requirements and runners available. necrugs.com.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zig Zag Fabric by Jane Shelton. I guess I’m in a zig zag frame of mind. Maybe I’m taking a break from florals and stripes. What I love about this print is that it has movement and it’s 100% cotton. Available to the trade only.  For more information, janeshelton.com.

 

 

 

 

 

Amalia Globe Pendant Light fixtures to me are just like jewelry: they sparkle and shine. Juliska’s new line of pendant lighting doesn’t disappoint. This glassware is beautifully done. Their globe pendants can go anywhere: kitchen, bath, or entrance foyer.  Large Amalia Globe Pendant Collection, suggested retail $550, juliska.com.
