Heather Taylor = Dreamy Linens
My lovely friend and local rose Heather Taylor seems to be able to do it all. She runs an art gallery Taylor De Cordoba with her husband and partner Alex De Cordoba, blogs for her beautiful site LA in Bloom and now is designing and creating a linen line that is original and dreamy using vibrant colors on natural linens.
1) What inspired you to start the linen line? I have long admired the way other cultures set their tables and the tradition of using beautiful linens on a daily basis. I love entertaining and love setting a beautiful table but felt I couldn’t find the linens I wanted without hopping on a plane to Mexico or Greece. So I decided I would design something myself, a reimagining of traditional linens I have seen on my travels but with the modern consumer in mind.
2) What are your favorite things about our city of angels? I love the blue skies and beautiful weather. It’s hard to be in a bad mood on a gorgeous day. I also love the wide open spaces. I love the creative communities I have discovered here and the feeling that anything is possible.
3) What is your favorite kitchen tool these days? My vitamix for making breakfast smoothies.
4) What is your beauty secret? Regular trips to the Korean Spa, exercise, sleep, fresh juices from Pressed Juicery and Egyptian Magic. That being said, I’m open to hearing suggestions!
5) Are you a mermaid or forest fairy? Forest fairy.
6) You and your husband seems to take wonderful weekend trips. Do you have a favorite romantic getaway? We love going to Ojai – we actually got engaged there. We stay at this beautiful cabin we found on VRBO called The Love Shack. It’s supremely romantic.
7) What or where is your favorite meal? My favorite meal is something I allow myself once a year: a hickory burger with cheese, french fries and apple pie at The Apple Pan in West LA. The best burger in LA, hands down.
