Reviving the iconic 1960's printed textile designs of Amos Morrill, his daughter Lee Morrill-Harrington is sure to create another wave of interest in this particular resort style. Capturing the quaint aspects of island living, from the exotic flora and fauna to sealife, enter Antilles Designs. The brainchild of the Antiguan-born interior designer, this bright new tropical collection brings the natural world in, with festive color combinations, detailed renderings of leaves, flowers and sea creatures. The joyous, easygoing designs by her father were created from existing sketches and samples Morrill-Harrington recently happened upon in her father's Antigua loft. As an interior designer, she embarked on a path to create fresh and fun graphic prints in highly usable colors. You can find the designs in the Gary McBournie Home Dering Hall storefront, as well as Studio 534 at the Boston Design Center and Webster & Company in Estero, Florida. I have to thank Christine Bell from C. Bell in Florida for introducing me to the line, it is sure to please those wishing for the footloose and fancy free living island life provides. Hey, has Jimmy Buffet seen these yet? I think he would approve.

Wow, Marisa, I love these! It was funny to see one of the few companies who carries them is in Estero, Fl, because that's where I live. Have a great week!
I particularly like the Frangipani with teal and yellow design. Very summery and breezy....
