We’ve had our eye on Los Angeles-based designer Heather Taylor (also a writer and gallerist) for a while now. Her table linens have a distinctive West Coast vibe–not too fancy, but luxurious nonetheless. We especially like her special-edition table linens for Nickey Kehoe in LA, rendered in muted tones.
