There’s nothing more fetching than a ruggedly handsome man in a little tartan kilt. The original 007, Sean Connery, is a grand example. Great Scot! May I fasten that giant safety pin for you, Mr. Bond?
I’m personally mad about plaid, probably because I wore so many wool jumpers as a young lass. Home design, too, is pointed towards Great Glen as the patterns we adore take the high road. Here’s a peak:
Nomad Cube from the eco-furniture collection at Crate and Barrel, $199, available in orange, green and gold colorways. Great for propping your feet or for storing your bagpipes.
An assortment of plaid rugs from Tuvalu Home, $28 to $195, sizes go up to 6″x9″. Use to warm up the study.
Snuggle up to Track’s Plaid Blanket (shown at top) found at Branch Home, a contemporary play on plaid with a modern orange grid on white; and it also comes in an optional black weave, $498.
Dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair on this cozy 100% wool plaid pillow from Urban Outfitters, $38. Freestyle Plaid cotton sheeting from Pottery Barn is Oeko-Tex approved, $28 to $119. More mellow, the Coyuchi Birch cotton plaid weave sham and duvet, $25 to $300, at Dax Stores.
It’s time for tea and shorbread bisquits. Serve it all in this assortment of Scottish-inspired colletible vintage china from Railey Creek Collectibles. Includes:
Normany Plaid Sugar Bowl
Blair’s Pottery Gay Plaid plate and mug
Vernons Killns China plaid yellow and brown plate and mug
Vintage yellow plaid floral napkins to cheer up your table, $52, at Rickrack.
For the shoe-free green home, let little ones pad around in these adorable plaid Weebit slippers from Ecowise. $25. They’re so sweet, I’d even use them as a prop!
