Let’s Talk Burlap!

Burlap is a treasure when it comes to rustic-style decorations. It can be used in the home or outdoors, and is especially helpful for special events and holidays to help keep the rustic feel for any occasion. Though burlap is commonly used as a strong sack to harbor objects and protect them from wet environments, there is more than meets the eye to this material. When paired with the elegant frames of vintage French furniture, the end result is a happy marriage of textures that is both comfortable and luxurious! Who’d have thought?

Recently, we received an AMAZING shipment of French, Louis XV style furniture from Europe! The frames were kept in its original finish, but the pieces were reupholstered in beautiful, burlap fabric. We just loved how it came out! Rustic and cozy, yet elegant! The two textures of the burlap and the distressed furniture work very well together. We also have a gorgeous line of burlap pillows that we call Garden Adornments. Each pillow is printed with a cute, French style image. Can you imagine a bunch of these on a burlap settee? To die for!

We’re excited with this new style and we’re happy to help you get that look you want!

Vintage Framed Mirror in Gold
Louis XV Vintage Occasional Table

My family and I spent our weekend in Solvang, CA. One morning while at breakfast, we were thumbing through the local ads in a magazine, and I noticed an ad for a shop “Let’s Face It”. I then realized this was the store of one of my customers, Kimberly Storey.

Kimberly called The Bella Cottage looking for a couple display pieces to furnish her fabulous shop, and what a beauty it all turned out! I’ve been meaning to share these gorgeous  pictures of her shop with you!
