Ridiculous! I wasn’t clear because as I was typing, I was sidetracked trying to figure out how many banks I would need to rob to buy his ranch.

I say we offer to raid competing designers’ and clothing brands’ headquarters. The paparazzi would have a field day documenting us taking over Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger runway shoots. 
This was taken in a home in Colorado and featured in Cabana magazine in 2018. I love the pictorial ollas.

Aaron, do you happen to have Doug’s cell number? …asking for a friend.

Will Rogers historic ranch, Pacific Palisades, CA
Sadly, the house and stables were destroyed in the 2025 Palisades wildfire.

Lovely to see. Cathy Smith is an Emmy-winning beadwork and textile artist, costume designer for Dances with Wolves and other major pictures. The trading post she runs with her jeweler daughter Jennifer Jessie Smith is a lot of fun to prowl around in. They lived with the Lakota people and were apparently initiated.

I’m an enthusiast of Doug B…what an eye, what an impact.

Thank you for sharing Cathy’s other achievements and attributes, Chic. It’s neat to know you’ve been to her post.
Doug is a most interesting man, and I agree, his eye and penchant for silently making waves is unparalleled.

The studio of legendary Western artist Mark Maggiori in Taos. I couldn’t share the interior without first showing the beautiful entrance. I love the carved and painted Thunderbird on the big double doors.

Few design elements convey the spirit of the West like Pendleton blankets, and even fewer keep one as warm. What living room, bedroom, reading nook, camp, tent, cabin, baby crib, pack horse, kiva ladder, or truck seat is complete without (at least) one?

I love all those blankets, especially the green striped one on the bed, and that cabin has a Northwoods feel also. We have Hudson Bay blankets instead of Pendleton’s, but we do have two Pendleton pillows!

I apologize for this not being an interior, but I just saw this Pendleton cape made from a blanket for sale on Britwest!
One screenshot in case it disappears, because she said it’s a limited edition, and once out she won’t get anymore.
This could go in the other threads I know, but I was just looking at the Pendleton blankets again.

No apologies necessary, Zia, it fits this thread just fine. 
What a beautiful textile! I’ve always thought their coats and shawls looked stunning, but this cape is extra cool considering it’s made from a blanket. I knew some artists reclaim and repurpose vintage, or even new, blankets to make garments from: I think that’s awesome.
The banded blanket you picked out in that cabin photo above is one of their Yakima Camp Blankets. Here’s a poncho made from a blanket in that same series.

That’s beautiful. I haven’t looked at her sight for a while, and she’s got quite a few repurposed Pendleton blankets made into capes and jackets. Out of my price range, but I enjoy looking at them.

the views from that living room are epic!

Last year, @TAH shared some photos he’d taken inside the renowned gallery and textile studio, Tres Estrellas Taos. It doesn’t get any more fitting for this thread than these, and I could easily call this home.
A couple more…

One of the coolest, little galleries I’ve ever visited. And the owner, Chris Ferguson, is an absolute pleasure to speak with. Such a nice and interesting gentleman.

We have a LOT of Pendleton blankets at our house. When you live in Oregon (and in Pendleton itself for a number of years) you accumulate a lot of Pendleton items. I have an embarrassing number of vests and coats, jewlery, buckles, purses, blankets - but the coolest items are 3 crazy large Pendleton screenprint advertising posters (meant for a large store display on the wall or around an interior doorway) from the early 60’s that has artwork done by my friends dad, E. B. Quigley. I have no clue how to display them properly, so they stay rolled up until I can. I also have some limited edition prints he did from the same era also made for Pendleton advertising, so I really need a dedicated ranch house!
Edit: it seems the advertising was done for the 1946 season - so no wonder the posters are so delicate.

No doubt!
The advertising you have sounds awesome!! If you ever find it convenient, I’d love to see them. Feel free to share them in this thread.
If you ever get serious about displaying these, you could look into having them linen backed by a poster conservation/restoration company.
I’ve always admired the relationship Pendleton has with Native communities. Although, I recall some legal issues and them having to update their marketing to comply with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. But take, for instance, their Weavers Series. Mark Winter once discussed that the top fifteen people from Pendleton visited him at his Toadlena Trading Post, bought a Mary Henderson Two Grey Hills rug, and made a blanket from it. They paid her for the use of the design, and when they made a sweater or cardigan from it, they sent her six of them.
Thanks for sharing @RedlandMaggie!

Here are some photos of the winter bedroom of La Mansana de Chinati, or "The Block”: the former residence of artist Donald Judd in Marfa, Texas. A city block formerly used by the Army, it’s comprised of two rehabilitated hangars and now serves as a permanent installation of his life and work.
It’s comforting to know that a leading figure in Minimalism had trouble fighting the urge to collect turquoise jewelry, Pueblo pottery, and Navajo textiles.

The main weaving over the bed is beautiful. The bedroom itself looks more like an art gallery. Thanks Aaron. That was interesting to see.
