Scalloped What?

Caitlin Wilson

Scallops have taken the decorating world by storm. Scalloped furniture, towels, sheets, wicker, lampshades, wastebaskets, dog beds and much much more are all very popular. Just yesterday I posted on a scalloped boot tray. Scallops are feminine, classic, and elegant - adding a lovely design element to the most utilitarian objects like....

Scallops and Marble

Scallops continue to be very popular and of course marble is a timeless classic. This is a great idea - a marble tray to hold a candle.

Green Seagrass Scalloped Lampshade

 

I saw this lampshade and was immediately smitten - green, scallops, seagrass - I think it would look great on one of my blue and white Chinese lamps.

Lavender & Blue

Lavender & Blue Scalloped Linen Placemats

Recently I have been drawn to the color combination of lavender and blue. It's such a pretty color palette for the spring and summer. My study in Alexandria was painted a soft lavender and I loved it. It pairs beautifully with blue and white Chinese porcelain.

I love all things scallops - in interior design, in fashion, and they are one of my favorite foods. I made scallops seviche last night for dinner. (Actually, I could pass on scalloped potatoes - LOL). This scalloped wicker daybed above is fabulous. I have found some wonderful scalloped pieces - many would make great Mother's Day gifts too.

Favorite Recipe and New Cookware

Scallops with Basil & Cream

 

I made my favorite scallop dish last night (actually one of my favorite recipes for entertaining it is so easy and so delicious) using my gorgeous new induction range and new cookware. This recipe serves four and takes 5 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes cooking.

Scalloped Wicker

Caitlin Wilson

 

The scallop has long been popular in interior design. It is based of course on the scallop shell and is a series of repeating arcs. Scallops are classic, timeless, and whimsical and they are having a real moment in home decor of late. Scalloped wicker is my favorite use of scallops and paired with chinoiserie is a fabulous combination. I have rounded up some wonderful choices.

Setting the Summer Table

Filipa de Abreu

 

This is a beautiful and simple summer table setting with scalloped placemats, peacock plates, wicker wrapped glasses, seashells, and of course - bamboo flatware. Easily 90% of the tables settings I happen upon use bamboo flatware - I use mine every day. Potted basil in a scalloped orchid basket in lieu of flowers is a fun choice. The orchid basket and wicker glasses are Amanda Lindroth. Who notices something different here?

Palm Beach Neutrals

Courtney Giles Interiors

 This lovely bedroom is from the newly opened Kips Bay Show House Palm Beach. Although we generally associate Palm Beach with lots of vibrant color, this is a wonderful example of embracing that style with a neutral palette. The palm wallpaper is Schumacher Blair House Palm. I especially love the scalloped linens. I spot a Chinese Chippendale chair and an orchid on the side wall.
