French Ticking
I have been sewing French throw pillow shams for my
home and Burlap Luxe etsy shop.
Centuries old rural rustic fabrics are still dominated textiles in
French interiors.
Prairie, farmhouse and countryside; old textiles lift up and compliment
every other element in its space.
via Dore Callaway Burlap Luxe
French textiles enhance the love of living well worn with
faded age.
A thread of time.
I do not use zipper closures, yet an old envelope cuff is
sewn down tucking away perfectly placed feathery down inserts,
giving the pillow shams a feel of centuries old.
No welting-buttons or zippers that are often associated with
modern times distract from the peasant countryside
feel and design.

Drop Cloth
My French brocante style is in keeping with worn textiles,
faded and lived with.
I have had drop-cloth curtain panels in my home for
years now.
The curtain rods are oak closet poles that I had Home Depot
cut the length for me. Then I washed them down with
a watered down grey paint giving them a
patina of all things French.
Eyelet Brackets
The eyelet brackets was an idea I came up with to solve a problem with
not finding quite the aged rural countryside feel I was after.
I took an old metal fence post to my iron guy, asking him to
cut 3/4 inch rings and could he please follow my pattern
measurements with a post and face plate that I could
screw into the wall?
He was concerned about forging perfection, I was not.
As you see I got exactly what I was hoping for, and
what I desired.
Rural, Rustic, And Salvaged.
Inspiring a salvaged French textile home.

Oh Doré, once again it is breathtaking visiting you. And this time I am so happy, as I too think, zippers or buttons are a bit distracting from the real feeling. I sometimes even use tassels, pulled through a loop to close the "envelop-opening" in the back of the pillow from keeping it opening up too bulgy.
Is there anything you can´t do?
Oh, please keep on, love to see all these things you create,
have a wonderful weekend and my hugs,
your friend Méa
Beautiful pillows Dore like them all..have a nice Sunday and happy week love from me Ria x ❤️
So beautiful - I love the ticking stripe pillows and the rustic weathered finishes. It's such a lovely look and does make take me to the French countryside indeed. xo
I adore the simplicity of your ticking pillows and the sublet beauty of all your textiles!
Doré I love your fabrics and your sewn three times seams in your textiles you sew. I love French ticking stripe and it appears on all floors of our row-home. Black and white as pillows, towels, napkins and backing of toile curtains all giving a touch of Je me said quoi. All your pillows are lovely Doré and I admire your curtain rods. Heading over to your etsy store right now where I know I will find beauty.

Oh my, you do have a way with things! I am so impressed with your curtain rod design. What a wonderful vision you have. I love the textiles too of course. All so beautiful together.
Love all your textures and patinas you have in your decor! From the ticking pillows, dropcloth curtains, curtain rods and drawer handles! It's all just so french countryside inspired! It is such an inspiration for my own home! You have such a way of giving a room that feeling of old and time worn. I love how you draw people in with your words and make one want to create that feeling for their home. So I had to buy the pillows! :) Xx
