Woven Kin Home

I’m sloooooooowly easing back in after a much needed trip to the cottage. There’s something about waking up to coffee by the river that just soothes the soul, ya know?

At the same time, I’m thrilled to get back to our home and most of all, my garden. I’ve been planting like crazy and things are really starting to pop now. 🌼 I’ll have to share some photos with you soon.

I typically take it pretty easy during the summer as so many of you are away as well, but I do have a very special collection coming to the shop soon(ish). In the meantime, here’s one of our most loved vintage rugs from the shop, staged three different ways. Which one is your fav?

I’m a sucker for her rich, earthy palette and the gorgeous bird motif that graces the field of this semi-antique Shiraz. It’s easy to see why y’all have been so crazy about her. I think she would bring warmth and a bit of soulfulness to almost any decor…is she your dream rug?

Ever wondered what the difference is between a beautiful house and a soulful HOME? It’s not always easy to put your finger on what’s missing to give your space that extra warmth and charm that makes it cozy, lived in, and maybe even a bit mysterious. The truth is the most welcoming places that put our minds at ease, tend to be decorated over time…slowly collected through our travels, thrift store finds, and one of a kind handmade treasures passed down through generations. Each piece we collect should bring joy into our lives. You simply can’t get that “je ne sais quoi” from a generic big box store.

Here are 13 ways we elevated our house when we renovated. I love how it feels like a home that has been collected over time and it’s truly one of the most relaxing spaces for my frazzled nervous system. Which ones are your favourite?

1. Vintage rugs
2. Cozy sheepskins
3. Natural textures / Linen bedding (an absolute dream for hot sleepers)
4. Vintage fixtures & furniture
5. Warm wood
6. Natural stone
7. Thoughtful lighting (I have a personal vendetta against pot lights)
8. Moody palettes
9. Exposed brick
10. Living finishes / Unlacquered brass
11. Lots of plants
12. Antique books
13. Collected art

Tribal Khamseh vintage rugs have been one of my favourites since I started collecting and selling these beautiful pieces of floor art. Khamseh was a confederation of tribes in southern Persia with similar weaving styles to the Qashqai and Afshar peoples. The weaving from this area is known for its imaginative depictions of daily tribal life as well as the hopes and dreams of the weaver herself. The Khamseh are well known for their triple medallions and bird-filled fields (try saying that 3 times fast!). This piece is a classic example and the palette simply cannot be beat. The salmon pinks and corals in this historic piece are complimented by dusty blue, deep navy, and ivory. The harmony and creativity the weaver instilled in this semi-antique Khamseh excites my design senses and keeps me coming back, over and over again.

I thought about doing a snazzy reel so that IG actually shows it to you, but these one-of-a-kind beauties really deserve to be stared at. Enjoy these stills at your own pace. Soak in the glorious artistry and colour palettes that can only be created by hand, knot by knot, each yarn lovingly dyed with natural veggie and root dyes.

This collection is one of the best we’ve ever sourced and they’re available now in the shop.
