Design - Bowood

As this is place for my to wax poetic about the things that I love, one of the the things that immediately comes to mind - is the beautiful Bowood fabric by Cowtan & Tout.

I dream of the Bowood bedroom that I am going to design for myself once we move into a new house. Whenever I excitedly show my husband a classic floral fabric, he tells me that while he doesn’t love chintz, but he loves me, and I love chintz - so he accepts the chintz.

Bowood so so classic and beautiful, and even more endearing because of the story behind it. As the story goes, John Fowler found a scrap of fabric in the home he was decorating “Bowood House” and he had it replicated by Colefax & Fowler.

One glimpse of the fluffy white roses in the gorgeous Capability Brown designed gardens and you can see where the inspiration came from.
