The King And I

 This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the beautiful performance of the "King And I" at Lincoln Center. It was wonderful! I have loved this show since watching Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr as a child.  I must admit I teared up like a baby at certain songs and the ending.   Of course I also marveled at the set design and the use of Thai fabrics and colors that are rich in depth and history.
I adore Thai silks, Buddha statues and stencils.  The one design company that I find has amazing Thai influenced fabrics is none other than Jim Thompson.  I have used several of these fabrics in my latest project and after seeing this play I long to use them even more! Check out some of these wonderful ways to bring a little King and I into your home. If you haven't seen the play yet run don't walk while Kelly Ohara remains the lead. Tickets HERE!
