TEA DYED QUILTS

GO HERE FOR MORE!


I spent a large portion of my consultation yesterdy sorting through tea dyed quilts! The appointment was to present decorating ideas for two teen girls’ log cabin style bedroom at a mountain hunting lodge. The view alone was (almost) enough to make me tear up my invoice!

The vacation home had been in the family for decades if the style of the log home and the number of trophy deer and moose displayed on the walls was any indication. I have never visited this client’s town home so I’m not privy to the details of the decor they had in place in their primary residence but this rustic cabin was filled with traditional mementoes of ancestors including the tea dyed quilts that I mentioned.

Knowing ahead of time that I would be decorating the log cabin theme bedroom, I pulled out pictures of rustic bedding and bedrooms that I had decorated with bedding sets and room decorations in warm shades of brown, rust and hunter green. I could tell that the girls and their mom liked my rustic decorating ideas and sure enough I got the job.

At the close of the consultation, I commented on how lovely their hunting cabin was already and the lady said that her mother used to quilt to pass the time while the men were hunting and opened up an old fashioned trunk filled with tea dyed postage stamp quilts, pinwheel quilts and plain old patchwork quilts that were absolutely stunning.

My plans are to incorporate these beautiful quilts and use them as either part of my log cabin bedroom’s bedding or as room decorations. The tea dyed quilts are simply too beautiful to be kept in a trunk so check back to see their new location!
