“I’ve found English style fabrics are a huge pain in the butt to find. Luckily the English roll arm sofa and the Chesterfield became trendy and now you can get them at affordable prices. Queen Anne dining chairs and wingback chairs are also relatively easy to find.

But the little details can be difficult unless you have antique stores nearby.”

You can do what a lot of people in the UK, including designers like Ben Pentreath, do – throw a blanket or piece of fabric over the sofa. Start with a basic solid color, and then find a kantha quilt or some such, to put over the back. Also, try to find sofa with slipcovers, which is very English : ) . 

I have two mahogany cane chairs, similar to this but bought at Altman’s 30 years ago, 

https://www.ballarddesigns.com/wimberly-caned-chair/556438

The original bottom and back cushions are green, but I swapped out the back cushions for large PB pillows like this,

https://www.potterybarn.com/products/basilia-print-pillow-cover/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-slipcovers&isx=0.0.585

https://www.potterybarn.com/products/navin-print-pillow-cover/?pkey=call-pillows-throws-slipcovers&isx=0.0.1049

And you can get gorgeous pillows for your sofas on Etsy – Lisa Fine, Peter Dunham (who is English but lives in LA), Penny Morrison, etc. Put a kantha quilt or block print throw or secondhand British plaid or paisley wool oversize shawl across the back of the sofa, add some great pillows, and you’re set. Especially if you have a good wool Persian rug on the floor : ) . 

Do NOT be afraid to use color and mix patterns. That French Coco Chanel thing about taking one thing off to be stylish? Forget it. If you want the English style at home or in your garden, add one more comfy pillow inside, and squeeze in another perennial outside!

A much less ornate and goes-with-everything style for dining chairs that some prefer is the “bar back” style, also called Trafalgar or George IV. And very easy to change the fabric on the seats. 

One good thing is that hardly anyone wants antique, vintage, or reproduction mahogany, oak, etc. wooden furniture. In the industry, it’s referred to as “brown stuff” and it’s sadly unpopular with customers. But that makes it much easier to find and more affordable to buy for those of us who do love the furniture and European style in general.

____________________________________________________________________ That’s exactly what I am trying to do with my two beige slipcovered English roll arm sofas. 

This is going to be a long story, so bear with me. My decor has always been blue and white with a bit of green or yellow thrown in but a few years ago I inherited some big abstract art pieces that are family heirlooms. They are red, green and gold and don’t fit well with my traditional decor so it’s been a headache even though I absolutely adore them.

I saw that Pntreath et. al. used a lot of red, so I’ve been experimenting with red kanthan cloth and red and gold pillows to see if I can get the living room to look right. I’m actually really happy with it. My one misstep is that I recovered  in a red stripe and added red pillows and I think that’s too much red. I’m going to leave it during Christmas because it’s very festive, but I want to tone it down next year. 

So thanks for the recommendations. I’ll see if I can find some beige fabric and pillows with just a bit of red embroidery.

The city of Joy- Kolkata

You either fall in love with Kolkata – hook, line, and sinker, or you simply don’t. Steeped in the colonial legacy that is as old as four centuries, Kolkata elicits an extreme reaction mostly from folks that visit it, and even those that have made it their home. The eccentricities of the city, its over-crowded bazaars, the lavish spattering of Victorian architecture melding into dingy neighborhoods of ancestral homes that have seen better days, are enough for those who prefer its languid rhythm to absolutely adore and cherish it.

In order to truly soak up the essence of Kolkata, there is plenty to take in outside of its well-known languorous pace. Here shopkeepers bring down their shutters in the afternoon to indulge in a siesta – prospective customers be waiting. The evenings are punctuated with rounds of tea and cutlet at a coffee house over an animated political discussion, and everyone – from hawkers, cabbies, to wayfarers – move in a beat of their own. Whether it is shopping for Tant and Kantha sarees, secondhand books or tripping on lip-smacking Chinese – also inexpensive – to picking up antiques like an old Roman clock, a Gramophone or a vinyl record – Kolkata sets the perfect stage.

Today we give you eight compelling reasons to visit the only Indian city that went through Renaissance.

1. You don’t need a reason to indulge your sweet tooth:

When not joining the fellas for an adda at the rock (rock here refers to leisurely chat on the porch of a house or a playground), Bong folks indulge themselves with sweets doused in patali gud (palm jaggery). Some of the sweets you need to cross out from your wish-list of traditional Bengali sweets are the ubiquitous Rosogolla, Sandesh, Chom Chom, Sita Bhog, Langcha, Kalo Jaam, Gaja, Kheer Kadam to name a few. Don’t rely only on the sweets available at the hotels in Kolkata – go out and savour the local shops. You don’t have to go far and wide in search of these assorted sweets, even your friendly neighborhood sweet-shop will do a nifty job of them.

2.  Kolkata is synonymous with budget shopping: If you are the artsy type and have an ethnic bias in your preference of clothes and fabric, Kolkata is your hub. The dizzying array of sarees its local markets offer from Tant, Katha, Baluchari, Bangladeshi Dhakai, to hand-painted and embroidered ones on Tussar and Bishnupuri silk, can make a discerning saree connoisseur out of you. Furthermore, head to the New Market area for some pretty trinkets in silver, pick up pieces of Blue Pottery, the famed Bakura horses carved in terracotta too make for a good souvenir, including the elaborately decked Chau masks depicting gods and goddesses from Indian mythology.

3. Of tram rides and Durga Puja: While people here are always on the move, they are in no rush to get anywhere. To test this maxim, a tram ride is warranted. The milieu of people using it as a daily mode of transport, their quirky chatter, and their inherent passion to quote Robi Thakur (Rabindranath Tagore for you), is an art acquired. Besides, its quite another thing to experience the city during Durga puja decked up for festivities. The exhibition of lights, the grandiose puja pandals, the fervor, and the unrelenting din on the streets intermingling with the sound of conch and chiming bells, can get you addicted to the kaleidoscope that is Kolkata.

4. The Ganges flowing beneath the Howrah Bridge is the most photographed site:

The iconic Howrah Bridge straddling a serene Ganga river with a lone oarsman dragging his frail wooden boat along it, is a lasting imagery this old-world city throws up. One of the busiest cantilever bridges in the world, commissioned in 1943 under British India, a drive through the Howrah Bridge passing the daily vistas of the Hooghly River is at once rejuvenating and a must-do for every tourist to the ‘City of Joy.’

5. A day of sightseeing and an evening of light and sound show at Victoria Memorial:

Not to mention, there is no escaping the touristy things to do in Kolkata, for they too carry with them a certain novelty. Agreed you have seen your share of museums and interactive spaces, but Kolkata’s Science City is in a league of its own, comparable only to Andhra’s Birla Science Museum. From taking a trip in a time machine to experiencing the phenomena of quicksand – it truly makes science relatable, even engrossing. Proceed to the Nehru Children’s Museum and browse the doll’s gallery to get a sense of the country’s ethnicity. Round up with a trip to the iconic Victoria Memorial. Peruse the museum for its collection of portraits and memorabilia of the Queen before winding up in the sprawling gardens for an engaging light and sound show reconstructing pages from India’s history.
