Today’s Crush: Hbc Blanket
When I saw this room in the current issue of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, it reminded me I had other rooms in my files with the Hbc blanket.
These highly prized, heirloom quality blankets were traded in Canada and the US during the 18th century and 19th century by the Hudson’s Bay Company (hence the name Hbc). I think they still look amazing today.
I especially love it in this room because it is so unexpected:
How great is this entire room? I wish I had guts to paint a whole room lavender!
Have a great weekend, everyone! As we’re celebrating Memorial Day here in the US on Monday, I’ll see you all Tuesday…..

Hudson Bay blankets are classics!! I grew up with them and we also had them in other colorways although this is the original and most recognizable. I still have 2 in a pinky rose with a tone on tone stripe!
Must agree that last room in particular is fabulouso!! And to think its lavender….wow. The blanket is really great looking.

Love them…I have an original one that was my grandparents in Canada…on one of the boy’s beds. I am always looking for others.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I WANT one too- love them when they are paired with pastel walls like the last shot- such a great mix.
LOVE the little loft bunk — the Hbc blanket is absolutely perfect for a child’s room.

i love the little bed nooks! have such a great weekend.
I love the HBC coats–there is a great photo of Audrey Hepburn in one somewhere. One of these blankets would be amazing to have and something to keep forever. Of course it doesn’t surprise me in the least that Stacey at Quintessence not only has them but in pink!

We had one of those blankets when I was a kid. Too bad I’m so good at purging:(

Love them! Pretty sure I had one growing up too. I used to work for the HBC back in the day as a recruiter (pre- design career).

I couldn’t agree more! The design is timeless and brings back memories for so many of us. I really want the cream one with the black and brown stripe for my bedroom….just waiting for it to go on sale (which rarely happens!)

Love the Hudson blankets…especially love the last image with the wonderful built in bed. Hope your having a great holiday weekend!
What a fantastic mixture of new and old! The designs are minimal and also “chaotic”, really nice

Being Canadian, I am fond of HBC blanket and what it symbolizes. I just wish they weren’t so darn expensive!
