Re-caped Of Our Season Highlights On Design Santa Barbara With Michael Kourosh

Watch some of the seasons highlights on Design Santa Barbara With Susan Shand, Leesa Wilson Goldmuntz, and get some expert tips from Sarah Mcfadden with Michael  Kourosh.

But first learn about appraisal textiles. Learn about the Inca textile of sun dancers, Inca Hat and Coptic Textiles.

2016-06-24-10.41.23

The 1700 Inca Textile from Peru which is normally very dry and never rains wich leading to such textiles lasting for a long time. Coptic textiles are woven as a piece of clothing with Greek and Egypt designs.

Inca Hat Santa Barbara Design Center

A 1000-1500 year old Inca Textile hats woven with lama hair. The principal colors used in Inca textiles were black, white, green, yellow, orange, purple, and red. These colors came from natural dyes which were extracted from plants, minerals, insects, and molluscs. Hundreds of additional color shades were made from mixing the base palette of pigments. . The Incas favored abstract geometric designs, especially checkerboard motifs, which repeated patterns  across the surface of the cloth. Certain patterns may also have been ideograms and carried a specific meaning, but the issue continues to be debated by scholars. Non-geometrical subjects, often rendered in abstract form, included felines (especially jaguars and pumas), llamas, snakes, birds, sea creatures, and plants.

Inca Lamas and Women Santa Barbara Design Center

Inca Weavers

It seems that both men and women created textiles, but it was a skill women of all classes were expected to be accomplished at. The principal equipment was the back strap loom for smaller pieces and either the horizontal single-heddle loom or vertical loom with four poles for larger pieces, such as rugs and blankets. Spinning was done with a drop spindle, typically in ceramic or wood. Inca textiles were made using cotton or llama, alpaca, and vicuña wool which can be exceptionally fine. Goods made using the super-soft vicuña wool were restricted and only the Inca ruler could own vicuña herds.

Susan Shand has always had amazing projects and grate homes to design, this episode takes place on the hills of Montecito. See how Susan transforms a beautiful home for friends and family to enjoy. You always want to start of with a rug and make your way up to furniture and accessories. Susan chose a rug that has a beautiful palette of colors with a warm gray to complement the temporary colors around the room. At Rugs and More we carry thousands of rugs available for purchase, Ranging from antique to contemporary.

The Home had  typical 1980 fireplace and did not go well with the rest of the home since the home owners wanted to make it very contemporary. Susan did a hard walnut wood throughout the entire house. The Coffee table is a large textured leather material for a big home to take up some of that space. Every piece in the living room is hand done and custom made.
