Thank you Julia, for a most timely challenge, Textiles. We are in the midst of a whole house remodel and fabrics are what I am dreaming about most every day now! There's upholstery, curtains, draperies, rugs, oh, just every sort of thing. I've had samples pinned to my windows, couches, and chairs for months now and it's time to PICK. Have a look at my 'design board'.
For my project today, I used actual samples. Barkcloth Hawaiirecycled glass tilesdiner booths. I paired them with the cute log cabin birdhouse stamp by Stampa Barbara and the HOME sentiment from Green Pepper Press. The fabu sofa stamp is a Rubber Stamps of America image colored with Copics in almost the colors I have chosen various shades throughout the house. The wild piece of laminate is the top of our diner table, it's ebony with turquoise/green/white boomerrangs. I added a bit of brown net along the top to add texture and remind myself of the 'package' I am wrapping. At least that's how the designer from Ethan Allen put it!!!
So thanks for looking, I'd love to hear what you think! It's Friday eve all...almost for the VSN mini warmup.
