Me and Mrs Jones

Another gem I came across at the Homes & Interiors Scotland Exhibition last Friday was Glasgow based, Niki Jones. These kantha quilts are made from the most beautiful vintage saris. These photographs don't even do them justice...in the flesh the colours are vibrant and the cotton super soft and lightweight yet snug. The only reason I don't own one yet is because I'd have to decide which to go for and my Libra brain can't take the pressure...

 

...the cushions and rugs are pretty special too.

Unhinged...

Layers of timber pivot on an axis to make up this breathtaking, curtain inspired, door to a diamond dealer's house in India.
I can't stop staring....
The rough, opaque concrete on the facade of the house mimics a diamond in its initial mined state where the translucent illuminated onyx in the interior represents the diamond when cut, polished and ready for sale.
