I finally did it: a vignette inspired by my vintage Hardy Boys collection. icon wink turquoise delight on cityline

Seriously, though – turquoise is a really hot hue that’s popping up everywhere we look, as you’ll see in my segment from yesterday’s episode of CityLine. (Watch it HERE!)

bev hisey hand knotted carpets

“NO WIRE HANGERS!!!”

picture 32 bev hisey hand knotted carpetsAn absolute must-have for anyone who’s ever shrieked along with Faye Dunaway in 1981′s camp classic, Toronto designer Bev Hisey’s “Mommie Dearest” carpet is equal parts luxe and irreverent. Rather like Joan Crawford, I’d imagine.

Hand-knotted wool with a fetching design of interlocking silk knotted hangers, I’d love to see this installed in a walk-in closet, as Bev herself suggests.

must have: angela adams rugs

angelarug must have: angela adams rugsWe’ve always been big fans of Angela Adams here at STYLE AT HOME. The prolific Maine-based designer is probably best known for her hand-tufted rugs, inspired by the natural beauty of the east coast. She’s just added two new designs to her portfolio, and one in particular — which Angela’s named “Betty” after her mother-in-law — is already standing out as a 2009 design classic. I’m normally not a fan of yellow, but this Honey colourway is just delicious, and the vaguely fish-scale motif is uber-trendy and makes for a wonderful transitional piece that’s super versatile.

Price: From $349 US (3×5′) to $1,699 US (8×10′)
