OUNDERS’ LETTER<br />
FOR S. HARRIS<br />
CONTRACT and<br />
RESIDENTIAL FABRICS<br />
What a rollercoaster this spring has been. At <strong>Pulp</strong>, we’ve<br />
kept a strong focus on our clients, whose projects are<br />
all continuing to move forward, while also dealing with<br />
juggling the new reality for all of us. But one thing has<br />
been clear to us all as we’ve gone through this ordeal together -<br />
home has never been more important.<br />
Our homes have become our offices, our schoolrooms, and our<br />
gyms. And we’ve had to use rooms for so many other tasks than<br />
they were designed for!<br />
But more importantly, we’ve all been reminded that home is our<br />
haven, our oasis, and our escape from the world. It is where we<br />
celebrate, make memories, and raise our children. It’s the heart<br />
of who we are.<br />
In this issue, we celebrate what it is to create a home.<br />
We showcase a welcoming project we created in Seattle,<br />
share how we’re adapting to working with clients remotely,<br />
and share some of our favorite things for surviving staying home.<br />

TREND WATCH<br />
8<br />
People are ready for<br />
warmer weather and<br />
brighter outlooks, so<br />
we’re seeing bold colors,<br />
natural materials, and<br />
fabulously exotic patterns<br />
guaranteed to<br />
shake us out of our<br />
gray-day moods!<br />
6<br />
1.FUN AND FLIRTY.<br />
Multicolored poms, bright tassels,<br />
colorful woven ties - we dare you<br />
not to smile when wearing these<br />
boho babies from Free People.<br />
2. BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL.<br />
This is one brass ring that you’ll<br />
definitely want to capture - it’s the<br />
Porter Pull with a gemstone from<br />
Addison Weeks.<br />

3. HEADS UP.<br />
Not just any stone bust, this head<br />
from Noir splits to form a duo of<br />
bookends in a clever take on the old<br />
adage about “two heads.”<br />
4. SHADY CHARACTERS.<br />
There’s something about these<br />
woven shades from Conrad.<br />
They capture the feeling of balmy<br />
weather and lazy days.<br />

5. FAN-TASTIC STYLE.<br />
The fan shape of these Revalia tiles from<br />
Daltile is spot-on for spring. But what<br />
really sends us is the Blissful Berry color -<br />
perfectly named and stunningly styled.<br />
6. A NATURAL WEAVE. Natural<br />
materials take center stage in Terrace, a<br />
wallcovering design from Carlisle & Co.<br />
Sisal is woven into an organic design that<br />
looks like a rattan pattern.<br />

7. FIGURING IT OUT.<br />
Outdoor rugs keep you in your comfort<br />
zone, and we love this one from Janus et<br />
Cie. Name Eclipse Coronado, the rug can<br />
be made to order in square, round and<br />
rectangular sizes.<br />
8. A GIRL CAN DREAM.<br />
We may not be able to travel right now,<br />

This great crossbody bag from Bali was<br />
a fabulous vintage find - and its natural<br />
weave lets us imagine we’re on a sandy<br />
beach. Shop similar.<br />
10. MODERN MOSAIC.<br />
This embroidered textile from S. Harris<br />
looks like an Aztec architectural design.<br />
The pattern - called Mezquita - has a<br />
sunwashed look, perfect for summer.<br />

CROSSING BOUNDARIES<br />
PULP DESIGN STUDIOS’ SECOND FABRIC COLLECTION WITH S. HARRIS BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN<br />
THE COMFORT OF RESIDENTIAL AND THE DURABILITY OF COMMERCIAL FABRICS.<br />
The <strong>Pulp</strong> team has designed a new collection of fabrics with S. Harris that is equally suited for commercial design<br />
projects and for a residential home that needs gorgeously durable fabrics. Despite a worldwide shutdown and<br />
pandemic, <strong>Pulp</strong> felt it was important to move forward with the debut of their second line that is rolling out<br />
through late spring and early summer.<br />
“So much planning went into this collection<br />
over the last year and although the timing could<br />
be better, moving ahead with the launch helps<br />
support our partners, the reps, and so many<br />
others during this time,” says Carolina Gentry.<br />
“We also want to provide new palettes and<br />
patterns to fuel creativity for designers,” says<br />
Beth Dotolo. “The <strong>Pulp</strong> team is using the time<br />
during this shut-down to develop new creative<br />
ideas for our projects, and we wanted to spark<br />
creativity for other designers, too, who are still<br />
working and designing for their clients.”<br />
The new fabrics were inspired by meaningful<br />
places around the world, from exotic locales<br />
to cities that inspire the <strong>Pulp</strong> team to the <strong>Pulp</strong><br />
founders’ own neighborhoods. Let’s take a spin<br />
through the new <strong>Pulp</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Studios</strong> for S.<br />
Harris collection.<br />
NEUTRAL GROUND<br />
Sophisticated and classic, the neutral palette<br />
has a pulled-together urban style. These designs<br />
can blend with brighter colors or stand alone<br />
with bold patterns that show off a wild streak.<br />
Some of our faves in this group include Leopardo,<br />
an animal print with an almost ikat twist, and<br />
Dresden, with artistic brushstrokes that evoke<br />
the dramatic European city.<br />
10<br />
11
BLUES BROTHERS<br />
Water colors and complex patterns are key<br />
to this group of fabrics. Fretworks, metallic<br />
details, and waves of blues and greens show<br />
there’s more below the surface than first<br />
meets the eye. Casa Battlo is a perfect example<br />
with its graphic and architectural design in<br />
teal with a river of metal running through its<br />
pattern. We also love the tile pattern in Havana<br />
Herringbone, and the mirage-like design of<br />
Hollywood Heights, named for Carolina’s Dallas<br />
neighborhood.<br />
SPICE MARKET<br />
Pinks, corals, deep reds, and touches of<br />
yellow-gold create the visual cues of gorgeous<br />
sunsets in beautiful destinations, or a spice<br />
market in an enticing bazaar. These designs<br />
range from dramatic patterns that demand<br />
attention to quiet and painterly looks that<br />
draw the eye. It’s hard for us to choose<br />
favorites, but we love the half-moon design on<br />
Haystack Velvet (named for Haystack Rock in<br />
Oregon), the spice-toned and complex Jakar,<br />
and Pokhara, a new neutral that carves a<br />
modern mountain range motif.<br />

home<br />
a welcoming<br />
By folding in the glass doors, the<br />
living room is open to the outdoors<br />
with views that go from land to lake.<br />
Blending two design styles made this Seattle-area house the perfect home<br />
How do you blend two very different design dreams? That was the challenge<br />
our clients gave us when they asked <strong>Pulp</strong> to take on a ground-up design<br />
build project outside of Seattle. He was drawn to an Acadia lodge style<br />
that reflected the mountains around this country locale. And she wanted<br />
a more refined transitional look that would be the perfect backdrop for entertaining<br />
friends and family.<br />
This is a challenge we love to accept because the <strong>Pulp</strong> team has a lot of experience at<br />
blending the best of both worlds. So we designed an open-plan interior with warm<br />
woods and gorgeous views of the outdoors, combined with modern touches and<br />
more complex details. <strong>Pulp</strong> was involved from the ground up, selecting the finishes,<br />
overseeing a complex process of staining the wood in the home, and ensuring that<br />
each room reflected the family’s personality.<br />
The clients, operators of a well-known whiskey distillery, love to entertain, so the<br />
home has public spaces that are open and inviting. For summer soirees, the glass<br />
doors also open to the pool area for seamless indoor-outdoor living.<br />
Let’s take a tour of this modern rustic home that’s the perfect mix of city and country.<br />

The home’s upstairs<br />

planned to be unused<br />
space. But the <strong>Pulp</strong> team<br />
developed the idea for a<br />
media room with a builtin<br />
bar. Now it’s one of the<br />
family’s favorite spaces!<br />

WORK<br />
A first look into a project our team designed REMOTELY,<br />
transforming the home of our client from afar<br />
W<br />
hile most of us are staying at home, we thought we’d<br />
give you a sneak peek into a whole-home project we’ve<br />
been working on! This project is out of town and we’ve<br />
done most of the work remotely with our client. We<br />
were planning on waiting to have the whole home professionally<br />
photographed, but then we thought “Why wait?”! The world needs a<br />
little home inspiration now. So, here you have it. All photographed<br />
with our iphones.<br />

sentiment of the homes bones in tact.<br />

HOME WORK<br />
Our clients, a family with a<br />
new little one, wanted an<br />
all-white and<br />
bright home.<br />
We overhauled the entire home, stripping<br />
away all of the heavy traditional details.<br />
We punched in a ton of contrast<br />
and designed using super functional<br />
textiles to hold up to use, and wear-and-tear.<br />
Every detail was designed with care, specifically<br />
for our clients, working with local craftsman and<br />
tradespeople, as well as artisans around the country.<br />

The bar we designed, with beautiful natural<br />

overhauled the way our clients are able to<br />
entertain. With a more private wine room<br />
and a more open bar area, it turned this<br />
space into a hyper-useable entertainer’s<br />
dream. We can’t wait for the time where our<br />
clients can entertain here again, but for now<br />
it’s a great escape after baby is in bed.<br />

heart<br />
OF THE HOME<br />
KITCHENS KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING<br />
Kitchens really are the heart of<br />
every home. It’s where families<br />
naturally gather, where meals are<br />
cooked, holidays are celebrated,<br />
and memories are made.<br />
And these days, it’s also where<br />
homework is finished, crafts are<br />
created, and where we begin and<br />
end our days together. The <strong>Pulp</strong><br />
team loves to design the perfect<br />
kitchens for our clients. Here are<br />
some tips for keeping your<br />
home’s heart beating for you!<br />
TAKE A SEAT<br />
To keep people comfortable<br />
while they’re working - or<br />
just talking - be sure you<br />
have plenty of seating in the<br />
kitchen. Stools are perfect<br />
for peninsulas and islands,<br />
but chairs pulled around a<br />
small table will work, too!<br />
KEEP IT CLEAR<br />
We like to keep counters clutter-free. That also encourages gathering together, and it<br />
makes room for baking, crafts, and homework. Try to tuck smaller appliances out of the<br />
way and put your spices into a rack in a cabinet or drawer.<br />
42<br />
43
TAKE COMMAND<br />
Just off the kitchen you see below, we<br />
added a “command central” space next<br />
to the pantry. Since everyone gathers<br />
in the kitchen, it’s the perfect place<br />
to keep family schedules organized,<br />
store homework assignments, write<br />
reminders, keep lists, and more!<br />
COLOR YOUR WORLD<br />
In the bright and modern kitchen above,<br />
we added bright blue cabinets to reflect<br />
the lakeviews just outside the windows.<br />
But as a special added treat, we painted<br />
the pantry shelves bright orange to add<br />
an element of surprise! Don’t be afraid<br />
to add color to your kitchen - it will spark<br />
joy for you and your family!<br />
44<br />
45
ADD PLENTY OF LIGHT<br />
There is a lot of natural light in this kitchen, but when the sun goes<br />
down, our clients also can choose from under-counter lights, task<br />
lighting, and ceiling cans.<br />
46<br />
47
WORK IT<br />
This kitchen was designed to function<br />
in EVERY way our clients need it to.<br />
Kids can do homework at the island,<br />
or at their custom homework bench,<br />
while their parents prepare meals. And,<br />
there’s even a fun chalkboard wall so<br />
the artists in the family can have a blank<br />
canvas. But that chalkboard also works<br />
for reminders and lists!<br />

LAYERING<br />
the LOOK<br />
Tips for Layering Light in an Open-Plan Space<br />
Electrical plans aren’t exactly the sexiest thing when it comes to<br />
interior design - but it’s so critical to the room’s functionality. Here’s<br />
how <strong>Pulp</strong> layers lighting so the room brightens your day!<br />
1 2 3 4<br />
KISMET<br />
LOUNGE<br />
COLLECTION<br />
Task lighting is<br />
so important in<br />
a kitchen. These<br />
pendants shine<br />
right on the island<br />
for meal prep.<br />
Canned lights set<br />
flush with the ceiling<br />
give the brightest<br />
light, but stay out<br />
of sight when they<br />
aren’t needed.<br />
When you want to<br />
set a mood, there’s<br />
no better light than<br />
a table lamp. If it’s<br />
burning solo, it<br />
softens the room.<br />
We love a statement light<br />
like this one! It makes<br />
the most of its place over<br />
the dining table. We also<br />
use a dimmer so it’s even<br />
more functional.<br />

TIME<br />
Spending More Time at Home as a Family Calls for Specific Spaces<br />
Formal living rooms are rarely seen in<br />
today’s homes as people get smarter<br />
about how they want to use the spaces<br />
they have. One of the most requested<br />
rooms for <strong>Pulp</strong> is the “family room,” which<br />
can mean TV room, game room, casual living<br />
space, and more!<br />
Here are some of our best family rooms<br />
designs, with ideas for you to try in your own<br />
homes!<br />
52<br />
It isn’t just the super-comfortable sectional that makes this room so inviting.<br />
That upholstered bench-slash-cocktail-table is another great addition.<br />
It tells you that this is a room where you can put your feet up and relax!<br />
53
FAMILY TIME<br />
Did we mention sectionals?<br />
They really are the key to the best family rooms because they<br />
encourage snuggling and lounging! But this room also succeeds<br />
because it offers lots of table surfaces for drinks and snacks, and<br />
54<br />
an abundance of pillows for propping or napping.<br />
We love to design game rooms that indulge our clients’ favorite activities - like ping pong (or<br />
table tennis if you’re feeling posh). This room also offers a wet bar with an ice maker and fridge,<br />
perfect for those after-match drinks!<br />
55
Our clients for this Seattle home had a lot of interests<br />
they wanted to indulge. Inside, we gave them a room<br />
that’s perfect for evening piano recitals. And outside,<br />
we transformed the garage into an extravaganza of play -<br />
with a rock wall, skateboard space, and a gaming area for online sports.<br />

how can I make it work in my home? I’m<br />
scared I’ll make the wrong decision!”<br />
Sarah McMartin<br />

THE STYLE<br />
COMMUNE showcased<br />
our brass-finished<br />
Starburst Pulls against<br />
a weathered gray vanity<br />
for a gorgeous look.<br />
First, just remember that if you’re<br />
painting walls you can always paint over<br />
them! Paint is not expensive, so keep<br />
that in mind and go bold. When you’re<br />
using a dark color on the walls, we like<br />
to use architectural details like molding<br />
or wainscoting to keep the wall from<br />
looking too flat. Those details catch the<br />
light and add dimension. You also want<br />
to use furnishings and accents that will<br />
pop against those dark walls. In the<br />
Dallas study we designed here, we used<br />
lighter toned woods and brass finishes.<br />
They not only look fabulous against the<br />
black, but they also add a lightness to<br />
the look. Don’t be afraid to experiment!<br />

from our first S. Harris collection for<br />
the drapery in its Large Bedroom. Be<br />

Hidalgo pattern - part of our fabric<br />

THE<br />
LAST<br />
WORD!<br />
Hey, Beth &<br />
Carolina:<br />
What’s your<br />
favorite room<br />
in your home?<br />
OUR BEDROOM<br />
“I love our master bedroom! It’s such a<br />
welcoming room with luxe linens and a<br />
neutral palette. I am obsessed with the<br />
vintage chairs I found for the room, too.<br />
It’s just a great place to hang with my<br />
husband and our dog!” - Carolina<br />
OUR LIVING ROOM<br />
“I love our main floor living room. It<br />
gets a ton of great light and the palette<br />
is hyper soothing to me. Every single<br />
thing in this room contains a personal<br />
touch or a memory.” - Beth<br />
