I first learned of Wenlan Chia’s design talents when I purchased a Twinkle by Wenlan silk skirt in San Fran 2 years ago. I still love the skirt with its quirky but feminine details, lasting design and of course the compliments I get when I wear it. I was very excited when I discovered that she also does a home line called Twinkle Living with the same whimsical elements and colour combinations. I love the idea of having your rug act as a work of art around which you build a clean-lined, modern furnishing scheme in classic colours. The Abstract wool rug, above left, would be perfect for such an endeavor. The Ikat Throw Pillow, on the right, combines unlikely colours that look fresh and traveled at the same time. Amazingly, it is also a perfect match for the tribal Persian rug in my living room and I think I need one - okay, two. Decorating is funny that way…add two new pillows and all of a sudden you need to rearrange the entire room. I am already moving chairs in my head.

The site estimates shipping to be $96 for 2 pillows totaling $136 - UPS Worldwide Expedited. I have a feeling that they would accommodate a less expensive option for Canadian customers if you requested it, this seems awfully steep for pillows coming from New York.
