Summer Linens

June 11th, 2007

From Janet:

Something about the arrival of summer stirs up a hankering in me for thick, un-ironed linen tableclothes.

Libeco Home’s Belgian Linens are meaty yet sophisticated, with a just-out-of-the-dryer casual vibe. It doesn’t hurt that the prices are great. I recently picked up the oversized Clement Napkins to use as hand towels in my guest loo and I’m thinking of adding a matching runner on my dining table for the summer. Go to the table linens section of Libeco Home at thelinenhouse.com for sizes, prices, and ordering information.

Clement tablecloth in white linen with wide bright-orange stripe; available in three sizes (starting at 69 by 69 inch) starting at $132.14; libecohomestors.com:

The Vermont natural linen with a red stripe; available in three sizes (starting at 68 by 87 inches); $103.15 to $170.43 at libecohomestores.com:

Sailor adds a sophisticated nautical stripiness to an outdoor setting; available in three sizes (starting at 69 by 69 inches) $123.30 to $214.82:

And from Beyond France; a three=panel tightly woven, floppy, hand-spun Hungarian lined; hand-dyed Hungarian indigo; £130 at notonthehighstreet.com:

Oversize vintage linen three-panel tablecloth in natural; £105 at notonthehighstreet.com:

Vintage linen napkins with blue border; £25 at notonthehighstreet.com:

As always, Ikea offers a good budget solution; the Admete natural linen tablecloth (87 x 57 inches) is $29.99. Go to ikea.com to view:
