Candy Stripes

Look what the UPS guy dropped off at our house today.  In LOVE with this outdoor fabric I'm using on a client's porch in Watercolor.  YUMMY ! ! ! ! More to come.  Hope you all have a super HAPPY LABOR day weekend.

 

 

Vintage Style...

I'm really obsessed with fabrics and seem to always be on the hunt for something new to add to my "collection".  I just love textures, pattern and COLOR ! ! !

This weekend I totally scored a few great vintage fabrics from the 30's and mid-century.  Here's a peek at a couple of my favorites.

[This vibrant art-deco fan pattern, kinda reminds me of potalla available at Quadrille.]

 

[chartreuse asian floral] 

 

Plan to use them for roman shades at a home I'm designing.  I just love coming across a GOOD bargain, don't you?   H a P P y   M   O  N   D   A   Y  :)

 

Why Didn't I Get the MEMO?

 
Guess I completely missed the memo that Diane Von Furstenberg was introducing her own line of fabrics.  How exciting is that??  We're talking about over 80 crisp, graphics…WOW, now you can not only wear her iconic fashions but also decorate your home in the same playful prints.    

Just read about it in the latest issue of Elle Decor, check it out.  Sounds like it will be a prelude to her home accessories line and bedding collections debuting Spring 2011.  I'll be anxiously awaiting its arrival, since I'm a complete textile junkie!

I'm a Sucker for a GEOmetric Pillow

WARNING :  … I have a slight obsession for great pillows. 

Recently added these to my ever growing "Pillow Collection".  The fabric is a great Kelly Wearstler print available at Lee Jofa.  


Katana - Jade / Teal
GWF-2812 - 313

    

Thought they would add a punch of color and strong pattern to my ohhh so simple slip-covered sofa....and luckily they worked FANtastic with my other existing pillows [not shown].  

I bought them here locally, but you can check out CBG Limited's Etsy shop here.  Ceri is constantly updating her inventory, so check back often or feel free to email her with any requests.  Oh, and if you live in Atlanta or plan to attend Scott's Antique Market, stop by CBG's booth and see them in person.

It's All In the Details…

Studio Bon

 

 I've fallen in LOVE with Studio Bon, a wonderful hand-painted textile company, created by Bonnee Sharp.  Pattern is her passion, which I can totally appreciate.  The Collection includes these wonderful modern prints in an array of fun colors painted onto linen and cotton fabrics.  Custom work is available.  Oh, the things I could do using these fabrics.  

  

    Originally, I came across Studio Bon in the most recent issue of Luxe Magazine and later discovered an article in Better Homes and Gardens which features photos of Bonnee's home in Texas.  You can view both articles here.  What great style and talent!

 

 

 Loved this storyboard with clippings of her textiles, so inspirational.  

    The Studio Bon Collection is also being represented by F. Schumacher, a showroom available to the trade.  And best of all the textiles are sold and produced here in the U.S.A.  Enjoy!
