Self-described as a "museum in operation," the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, Netherlands, educates visitors on textiles while serving as a workspace for professionals. Located in a former textile factory, the museum offers an in-depth look at textile history through immersive exhibitions, as well as interactive, future-focused workspaces for textile innovation. The Woollen Blanket Factory exhibit displays the machinery once used to clean, spin, and weave raw wool into blankets between 1900 and 19...| Atlas Obscura - Latest Articles and Places
While her name is synonymous with daring, abstract flower paintings, the great American 20th century painter Georgia O’Keeffe spent the later years of her life painting the dry, barren and wide-open landscape of New Mexico, a place she came to call home after escaping from the bustling metropolis of New York. The pale, parched pink...| the thread
You wouldn’t believe how many emails and DMs we get about where to shop for large rugs! One of the biggest rug faux pas we see is using a rug that’s too small in a space. It creates the illusion of it floating in a room, rather than anchoring furniture and achieving the sense of […] The post Our favourite places to shop for large rugs appeared first on Style Curator.| Style Curator

The object that we discuss here is a saree: a luminous, dual-toned Banarasi, whose history takes us back to a time period of more than a hundred years ago. It belonged to Tapati Rani Devya, my mother’s great-grandmother. She is a figure so distant from me in lineage, that I know only fragments of information that allow me to paint an incomplete picture of what her life might have looked like| Museum of Material Memory
Wisst ihr, was ich als äußerst luxuriös empfinde? Als Teilnehmerin bei einem Workshop dabei zu sein.

During the artist’s so-called Berkeley years, from 1953-1966, American painter Richard Diebenkorn captured the fresh, invigorating air of California with his own inimitable brand of intuitive brushstrokes and playfully vibrant colour schemes. Throughout these years the oceanic blue of the Californian sea was a recurring feature in his art, whether depicting ocean views seen from...| the thread
In the eerily quiet world of Andrew Wyeth, warm, rustic shades of brown play a pivotal role, colouring broken tree stumps, shadowy interiors, or mounds of dry, crumbling earth. His barren, haunting paintings captured the raw and honest simplicity of his home town in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and his summer home in Cushing, Maine, throughout...| the thread
Bold, vibrant colours are a defining feature in the art of British abstract painter Sir Howard Hodgkin (1932-2017), a powerful means of conveying his innermost memories and emotions. “Don’t paint the thing itself,” he wrote, “paint the effect it produces.” He often brought dazzling shades of red like Firecracker Red into his paintings, laid liberally...| the thread

May 8, 2025 - The textiles and wallpaper created by Newton Paisley of Whitstable, England, can be appreciated and enjoyed on a purely aesthetic level, but knowing the story (or more accurately, the stories) behind the designs, makes the art even more compelling.

HOW TO STORE FRESH MILLED FLOUR Over the holidays I was reminded how important whole grains are. I made the mistake of stuffing myself with partial grains and finding myself less than regular in the bathroom department if you know what I mean. Regular bowel movements are crucial to our health. When things get backed up it can create all sorts of problems beyond the obvious. Waste wasn’t meant to linger around and constipation can cause more than hard-to-pass stools, it can lead to more se...| Farm Fresh For Life – Real Food for Health & Wellness

We kinda need the electricians to finish our house. The fans are up, but that's about the only electrical fixtures in the house. E...| Farm Fresh For Life – Real Food for Health & Wellness
