Joining the club…
…The club that is ‘Kathryn Ireland Ojai Home Fan Club’! Thanks to this wonderful blog, I got introduced to Kathryn’s home, and have been drooling ever since! Ok, that’s not a very pretty picture and doesn’t befit this post. Let me say it again… I am mesmerized by this eclectic colorful dream that Kathryn calls home!
What I also noticed about this home is the incredible collection of textiles/furnishing inspired by Asian and Arab/Moroccan culture. Which should not be surprising since apart from being an interior designer, Kathryn also runs a successful fabric and furniture line.
So, if you haven’t been introduced to this beautiful home as yet, feast your eyes on the images below and read the complete article here:

Check out the coffee table!
And the outdoor are as gorgeous as the indoors!
This outdoor sitting is one of my favorites!Sample of color accents used in the house..
Sigh!

How fun to see KI’s home here. I bought that issue of House Beautiful simply because of that interior! I love suzanis and her use of color and texture is wonderful, isn’t it?

Love, love, love this house! I am so glad to find others who are absolutely wild about it, too.I like her mix of ethnic things and color! I have to correct one thing in the HB article. They said the sugar and creamer on the kitchen table are Bauer pottery. They are, in fact, Mexican pottery called dripware and it is made in Oaxaca, Mexico. See http://www.hillcountryhouse.blogspot.com for more info. Of course, I love it that she has some of “my”pottery in her house! Great blog – adding you to my favorites!
