Nesting Place, a blog I find truly inspiring, had a nice post this week about shopping for fabric, including some great tips for finding fabrics online.
"Fabric is a luxurious tool," the post says. "Along with paint, it possesses power
that is almost superhero like. Properly place some fabric on a bare
window and you can instantly transform the feeling in a room. Mix
patterns to fill and personalize a room. Use textures to add interest
and depth. Keep to solid colors for a clean cozy feel without
interrupting the overall feel of a room."
The blog's author, who calls herself The Nester, recommends using the Calico Corners catalog for inspiration (and I recommend the website too, see photo above).
Online, The Nester recomends Fabric.com, which has "great sales and and seems quite customer oriented." Read more about shopping for fabrics at the post.
Also this week:
- Alicia at the SoBro Bungalow blog has posted photos of her new home -- empty and ready for decorating. I really love the house. It's adorable, even empty. I recommend you take a look now, because there's no doubt that when Alicia is done it will look completely different -- and fantastic! See the photos here.
- The Simplified Bee blog, which focuses on home organization and design, had a post featuring photos from a condo decorated by Southern California designer Michelle Workman. I love the grass green color featured throughout the home. It's really beautiful.
