Off the fence

The noncommital commited to something finally.  I just bought a bunch of this fabric from Fabric.com for the redic price of $5.98 a yard.  It will be getting railroaded and made into Missoni-esque drapes for my living room. (Unless it looks super cool vertical).  I'm painting the LR white this weekend.  I have the teal credenza and the yellow DeGournay mural in here.  I want to take the sweetness out of it a bit and add some funk. I bought a couple yards of a few other fabrics for accent pillows. And I can't even feel that bad because my entire order for 7 different fabrics was under $100. 

 The main point here though is I finally bought something.   Now I just need to wait for its arrival.

Seriously though, head over and check out the fabrics.  Some serious steals.

Oscar de la Renta + Lee Jofa =

About time! Just check out that fabric on the right. I'm smitten* I want.

Love the colors!  Its bold, got a great palette. Can't wait to see it in person and see the other colorways.

If you haven't seen this months Elle Decor, here is a peek at Oscar de la Renta's new line of fabrics for Lee Jofa. His creative director is Miles Redd, so you know its gonna knock socks. Not available until this summer... Boo! Tease! I'm way too impatient.

Check out the pleated silk and the chevron made from ribbons and linen...

I'm feeling all tingly.


If you don't have a copy here is what you are missing...


Also has a rug line for Elson & Co. and furniture through Century.
Rock on old man!

Check it out...

Just wanted to share this colorful site with you. Atlanta based Stacey Sheron's Staceage is a wonderful place to escape to when you need a break from beige reality, its like Candyland for grownups. Her mission statement sums it up quite nicely...

Check out some of her furniture, fabric, wallpaper, trims and (coming soon) rugs...

Today's Timesuck

So I have been playing fabric designer ever since I found Spoonflower's website. What fun! Its a great site that lets you upload and design your own fabric. They print it and ship it in about a week for only $18 a yard. You can order a sample for $5 or a fat quater yard for $11. The only downside is that it is printed on quilter's material, so my initial excitement for upholstery got put on hold... hopefully that will be an option in the future. Still, I can think of lots of projects I can do. Check out some designs folks have made so far...

Little Things

I'm in the process of preparing to bunk my two boys together soon, so I have been trying to get a plan together for decorating the room. Before we do it, we have to get our oldest to sleep without the overhead lights on. We have been looking for a night light alternative and he spotted this lamp. He loves it because it matches his stuffed animal dog "Pistol" and now Pistol won't get lonely. I like it because its clean and simple... so we now have our starting point.

Speaking of kids rooms, studio bon has some great handprinted fabrics (as well as plenty of grown up fabric too) that are are modern & sweet. I love the simplicity of her line, clean patterns with zesty colors. They could work in so many different settings.

This ric-rac pattern is great, just screams summer. (Pillows available on her site)

One last little thing on a different note... these chandelier sleeves from Kaarskoker, I absolutely love them. They come in several different patterns and colors. What a simple, easy way to make over a fixture and add a pop of color to your space.

Things I'd like to own...

This Jonathan Adler chair...

These wallpapers from Design Your Wall. Would love to use the glass beaded one as a backsplash, behind shelves in a glass doored cabinet or to glam up a bathroom.

Saw this mirror at Ballard Designs , bright and fresh and I love the octagonal design. Also comes in black.

The chevron rug is from West Elm, big fan of the Chevron Stripe!
