Tell me your best online source for upholstery fabric please
Comments (3)My favorite (I have ordered several yards of different fabrics and their quality is fab) is Design Diva Fabrics. They have great sales all the time. Here is a link that might be useful: design diva fabrics...See MoreOceanna--Or others about Ebay Velvets
Comments (5)Hi Red, yeah that's me. I just spent quite a while going through a ton of old emails in my "purchases" folder. I found it! I bought the fabric in December of 2004. The seller's email is dugpam@alltel.net and his or her handle is persis (d garrison - Cornelia, GA United States). I was very pleased with the purchase. But I have NO idea if that seller is still active, or has the fabric, or what. Notably, before this mohair velvet I had bought velvet upholstery at a fabric store, back when I first got my sofa and chair, and had re-upholstered them myself. The velvet wore very well. The current, the mohair, gets almost no wear at all, so I really can't tell you how it wears. If you find a deal on mohair velvet, I think you just have to go with the color like I did... because that fabric can easily go for $300/yard in the real world. Good luck!...See MoreDecorating around Queen Anne red velvet chairs
Comments (80)We have a Home Decorators Collection nearby so I was able to go by and take a look at that sofa and chair I posted. Obviously this isn't furniture built to last for 30+ years. But I am not paying the money where I would expect it to be. If this was a room that was our primary hang out space I would be willing to invest (as we are planning on doing for the family room in looking at a Hancock and Moore leather sofa.....if I can afford it), but expect this furniture to be "lightly used". I think with the addition of a couple of pillows it will be reasonably comfortable for guests and conversation (obviously not to snuggle in for a movie). I actually like the printed fabric, it appeared more of a pale blue overall appearance than the gray that I had expected. Hopefully will look OK with the hide rug (which - if not, I have already decided would look nice in the master bedroom). But fingers crossed this will all come together. I think I will likely need a different color on the walls than the Wedgewood Gray, but that can be selected later. OK - I have been looking forever for that red peacock type pillow and cant find it! I really do think that the accessories will hopefully be what ties this all together....See MoreDining Room Chair Upholstery Fabric Suggestions Please
Comments (7)oh my ! I love your choices. and i agree about the recommended. have you been to spoonflower yet? If nothing else you can design or have someone else do it and they will print, and maybe sales of it will pay for what you ordered. i can't keep the whole catalog, but here are a few i got for ohters projects. with this they have a lot like this under fairy taleoh how could i forget this? i better go or i will do this all night!...See Moretheclose
