15 May Texture Tuesday – Lace

Lace – not just for the Golden Girls anymore! Lace has become a classic trend that has made it’s mark on the fashion and home decor world. Lace can be seen everywhere recently and is a flirty way to spice up your wardrobe and home. We love lace for its ability to transform a look with sex appeal (without being scandalous!), yet provide femininity in classic, timeless pieces.  Lace has boomed in the home decor world – from lace cut outs on chairs to fabric wall coverings – giving traditional and modern household objects amazing texture.

“1940’s Floral Bouquet and Brooch on Antique Lace” ring bearer pillow from our Tie-That-Knot! Bridal Collection

We love to put Victorian lace with a modern ribbon to mix up the entire look and feel of a pillow like the custom one below.  Lace never seems to go out of style and there’s always some new twist in the way people interpret it….that’s what makes it so versatile and fabulous!  And did we mention we love to collect it?  We once had a woman read an article about our studio and give us her grandmother’s entire collection of hand-tatted lace because she “trusted we would make good use of it…and make it into something pretty”.  One of the highest compliments we’ve ever received!
