Registry Report: Mix-and-Match Linens We Love

When I first met Jenny Davids and Katherine Poole, the lovely ladies of Hen House Linens [1], I knew they were on to something. As we sat down to a lunch at the West Village dining spot Home Restaurant, I immediately homed in on their luxe cotton linens gracing the tables in mix-and-match style. It was eye-catching, to say the least! ­

Raising the bar on everyday dining and decorating, Hen House linens are made of sumptuous and sturdy cotton fabric that will make you think twice about using paper goods. Bold latticework, chevron and fleur-de-lis prints in on-trend colors work in endless combinations. You can start with a favorite color and pattern then add new pieces every year. Or alter your color schemes seasonally. They stand up to repeated washing and rarely need ironing. Going eco-friendly was never so much fun!­

Creative Director Katherine Poole says she “lives it and gives it” with signs of Hen House in every corner of her house. You’ll find not only tabletop pieces, such as runners, napkins and placemats, but pillows, guest towels and aprons, which make a great house gift with a recipe tucked in the pocket.­

When designing the Registry Report for the May/June issue of Bridal Guide, I had so much fun playing with all the offerings, it was hard to decide which to feature. But you’ll see my favorite hues and patterns in both cocktail and dinner napkins as accents on the pages of the issue. Can’t wait to see what comes next from Katherine and Jenny!­
