Help, I've stepped up and picked some fabric, what do you think?
Comments (13)Thanks, I like this print too. Cat, I think you're right about the scale being too big with the expensive print & that the IkEA fabric is a better scale. Staceyneil, I thought the same thing about the herringbone, I also liked that it was the inverse of dark and light. Yes I agree with the fabric will influence the picture. I have been liking the color of the floral branch picture because it adds some depth of color instead of just gray and black of the charcoal drawing. Annsch, the 2x4 tiles are marble that were disassembled from a 12"square mosaic from The Tile Shop. The original pattern was in a running bond which I considered. But I REALLY wanted to do the herringbone all over, so even though many advised me to not do it (friends & family) because of the time, I did it any way....See MoreHelp Pick New Fabrics PLEASE?????
Comments (3)If you can sew . . . I've been looking at some of my regular bloggers pages this weekend and noticed some of the pictures from the quilt market. These fabrics are cotton, just not 54 inches wide (or at least quilting fabric usually isn't that wide). The colors all looked so bright and fresh in the pictures. I started with a blog I read regularly, jackiebluehome.blogspot.com/ She has some links on the righthand side of her page of where to buy fabrics. Scroll down to the previous posting of her visit to the quilt market. She is currently designing some of her own things. Then I found a fun blog, jenniferpaganelli.typepad.com/ You'll enjoy looking through her fabric pics. It's difficult to find fabrics for young kids rooms from the regular design books. They just don't make very big selections and they are all expensive anyway. I think the quilting fabric is all washable. And don't forget Amy Butler's fabrics. They're easy to find with a search....See MorePlease help pick fabric to coordinate with CL sofas
Comments (14)I like the lighter tone of the fabric on the left in the picture. Better contrast with everything else. Both are nice...but if you choose the one on the right everything will have the same "value." Have you ever seen those red filters quilters who have a hard time seeing values judge fabrics with? If you looked at both samples I'd bet dollars to donutst that the fabric on the right in the pictue would "read" just about identical to the drapes and sofa....See MoreHelp picking out banquette fabric
Comments (53)Romy - thank you so much for taking the time to post pics. I have seen many of those since I have been looking for photos of banquettes. TBH, I haven't seen many examples of bold, vibrant colors/prints and that may be a function of people shying away from that look. DH and I still like the idea of brighter/polychromatic print, but we just really need to think this out with swatches in the room. So much for getting the banquette done for Christmas! I'm at work now, but I can get a photo later today of the banquette area. We are still waiting for a lot of trim work to be finished, but you'll get the idea. I had my cabinet maker make the utensil drawer based on a few photos I had seen on Houzz. ::wub:: I'm not sure if it can be retrofitted for the canisters since you need enough clearance for the tops of the utensils. cawaps - thank you for taking the time to mock up a mood board. DH are doing all the design ourselves w/o KD or any designer (we are doing almost a whole house remodel) and while I like to think everything has been well thought out, that obviously hasn't happened consistently! bpathome - the other chairs will be PB Napolean chairs in chestnut stain, which is wood and has an open design in the back. We may put cushions on later - not sure now. kitchendetective - the kitchen has a 5' opening to the family room, which we are still renovating. It's painted BM Cameo White, a creamy white that reads almost beigey-peach in some lights with BM Decorator's White trim. The family room furniture is very nuetral with a beigey sofa and love seat, sage green velvet chairs and cream and brown rug. We have red and white oak mixed floor in a Provincial stain. Interpretation: very bland and neutral. This post was edited by marthastoo on Mon, Nov 4, 13 at 12:18...See Moreliasch
