Tessa Foley (tessafoleyinteriors.com & instagram.com/nineandsixteen) and I have been virtual friends since the beginning of my blogging days back in Concord, Ma.  We share similar life views on slow, cozy family focused living and our love of Ina Garten, travel and golden retrievers.  She often helps me tweak designs behind the scenes - her design eye is always spot on with color and current moods.  

This set of papers was based on her recent block print design and a swatch of an antique french textile.  Her signature slate blue paired with a soft red turned out beautifully.
