I just returned from a trip to my home state of Texas where I spent an incredible weekend in Austin, TX with some of my closest girlfriends. I could create a whole blog on that part-hip, part- honky tonk town, but today I am gonna focus on the awesome deal I found at the ultra-cool San Jose Hotel. (check out Cote de Texas blog feature on the hotel here.)
The minute we walked into the room two of my design-conscious girlfriends thought the linens were perhaps John Robshaw. Upon closer inspection we realized they were not. Lucky for us, these custom-made linens for the San Jose were on sale for only $40! ( I was expecting $100 or more.) My friend Katherine bought the yellow and blue linen above. And I bought the sage, burgundy and blue one below. I think Katie is still figuring out which one to order.
The three of us had visions of our bedrooms looking like the hotel room above- clean white sheets/pillows/blanket at foot of bed paired with punchy yet subtle patterned fabric. Unfortunately, it did NOT translate in my bedroom at home. It looked like green and blue paisley threw up in my room. (Picture here of my bedroom so that you can imagine what it looked like.)
Instead, I threw it on the back of this chair in my living room to add some depth to this area of the room. I have yet to find art to hang on the wall above the chair, so I thought this created a little bit of visual interest in the meantime. Here you can see it in the context of the room...
Below is a close-up of the pattern on pattern.
You can order from many of the patterns that the San Jose Hotel offers by calling them...I don't see anything on their web site. I can't wait to see what Katherine and Katie do with their's!

Love it! And when did you get that chair--also love it. I am waiting for my textile to come in the mail. When it does, I'll stage, snap, and upload.
Thanks for your visit to hill country house! So glad you had fun in Austin and love the San Jose! I look forward to following your blog!
Wow this chair is so cool. i often search for half.com promotional codes & get great saving.
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. Right now I have it folded up and sitting on a chair in my bedroom. I'm considering draping it on simple curtain rod hung on a wall in my bedroom. Hmmm...tricky.

The chair is from Jennifer Convertibles. It was such a great price compared to Pottery and the other stores, but it took longer than they originally said. And we asked for brass nailheads not silver, but the silver turned out nice. They also didn't charge us for delivery since it was late.
But we definitely saved money of this and it is VERY comfortable!
