Fabric Lust

Ugh. I'e only been back blogging for about a week and I'm already obsessing over items I must have/find and stalking craigslist (and even ebay) again. In addition to wing chairs, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a bamboo/Asian-ish inspired credenza and night tables (more on that later) and lusting after...fabric. Yes, fabric. I'm like a little old lady - I can't get enough of it (is fabric lust a little old lady thing?).

I wouldn't say my space is lacking for colour - but I want to add more pops of colour in shades of pink, yellow, gray, and white - I'm really loving the freshness of white right now. I plan on doing this by changing my current accent pillows (which I've never been too crazy about in MY space all though I do love them). I also plan on having a few upholstery projects in my near future...so fabric is on the brain! Here's some that I'm particularly loving...

The trellis print - made extremely popular by uber fabulous designer Kelly Wearstler. It looks good on basically everything from curtains to chairs to rugs to pillows to walls....it's pretty no fail.

I love a good chevron print. Rubie Green's East Village is fantastic - and eco-friendly!

The every popular ikat print...which shows up in every design magazine at least once:

The suzani print. This fabric looks great covering large pieces or framed and hung as art.

*****

The otomi fabric has been spotted here and there in design mags for good reason - it's fantastic. Love it on large pieces like headboards and used as coverlets.

My all time FAVOURITE - Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon. I forsee this in my hands in the near future:

It's sooooo perfect, no? The colours the prints...the hidden dragons. I love it so much it almost hurts. Almost.

I came across this print while searching for something with the Chiang Mai Dragon feel without the cost - I think it achieves that:

*****

I love this Aviary print and keep coming back to it. I think it would look beautiful used in a girls room - it's playful but not childish.

I've never been much of a floral girl but oversized florals that aren't too pretty have been catching my eyes too:

*****

Yeah, my choices may not be the 'safest' but you definitely can't call them boring! Am I the only one going crazy for fabric right now? I see accent cushions and an upholstered headboard in my very near future....

(By the way - if anyone knows where I can find the chiang mai print online for a good price PLEASE let me know!)
