Perennially Tarlow B eloved Los Angeles-based interior and furniture designer, antiquarian, and writer Rose Tarlow has launched her second collection with Perennials. It's been 10 years in the making; their first collaboration was in 2012. The new collection includes eight handsome patterns that evoke the English countryside with subtle references to nature, such as steppingstones, brambles, and willows. Also new are four flatweave rugs inspired by Tarlow's personal watercolor paintings. All fabrics and rugs are completely customizable. Perennials by Rose Tarlow, to the trade at David Sutherland Showroom, Decorative Center Houston, 5120 Woodway Dr., perennialsandsutherland.com. Rebecca Sherman F or years, interior designer Meredith Ellis' showroom, James, which she owns with husband Hunter Ellis, has been a go-to source in Dallas and Houston for lively and sophisticated textiles by a global array of designers such as Carolina Irving, Sister Parish, Lisa Fine, John Robshaw, Casa Branca, and Penny Morrison. Now, Ellis has launched a namesake collection of her own. Four new fabric designs take inspiration from the Texas Hill Country landscape, along with historical, travel, and nature references including nostalgic French designs and stylized flower fields. While Ellis' current focus is on fabric, look for wallpaper to come soon. Also, a new James NYC showroom is planned for an October opening in the Interior Arts Building on the Upper East Side, rubbing elbows with such noteworthy showrooms as Bunny Williams Home, Liz O'Brien Gallery, and Newel. The 4,000-square-foot multi-line showroom will feature collections by McLaurin & Piercy, Ferrick Mason, Carolina Irving & Daughters, Mia Reay, Mahala, and Paolo Moschino, among others.
