I especially love when decor is useful and not just hanging around to add color or filler. Turkish towels make ideal beach towels since they dry quickly…

These towels also work well for sarongs, scarves, picnic blankets,

Psst. Are you pro-aging, like me? Do you also not care to spotlight a gobbly gobbly aging neck?

A linen this soft and versatile can become a sweet scarf friend and will provide a little protection from the sun on your shoulders. 🙂

A favorite way to live with “whites?” Mix them (warm and cool tones) and no need to think about about matching.

And here’s an example of how the natural tone of these Turkish towels is neutral enough to blend with everything.

Our sweet secret French courtyard didn’t get used to much this summer since my health has been so shaky and we haven’t entertained.

Somehow my castoff furniture made it through another season and gets a boost from these beachy towels.

Don’t you love collecting them!?!

The very old German one on my former dining table is from A Beautiful Mess Home in Agoura, CA.

I have used it for decoration in various ways in various homes, and it would be beautiful framed and hung on the wall as well. Sometimes I use them to make pillow covers, and the authentic French examples below were scored from a seller in France on Etsy.

Sometimes reproduction grainsacks can pass for the real thing. I’m fairly sure these pillows from RH purchased many years ago are reproduction:

Their nubby texture is divine, and whether they are on a window seat or our bed, I am still not tired of them.

Here’s a custom pillow made from grainsack with a cobalt blue stripe found on Etsy. The neutral tones means it works everywhere, indoors and out. It has been washed countless times and only improves.
