I never tire seeing images of this paper, which I suppose is a good thing since it is going in Maddie’s bedroom and vanity area.
An Albert Hadley design, it is made by Hinson and distributed through Donghia these days. Got that? Which reminds me…..I’ve have helped customers buy a lot of this paper and am so bad about asking to see images of spaces completed with products I’ve helped them purchase. Please, I’d love to see where some of these products land….send me an email, pretty please?
Do you remember a long time back I fell in love with a fabric and put out an SOS to find the source?
I get a fair number of emails asking if I’ve found the fabric….and a bunch of people pinned it on pinterest. Originally, I wanted to use the fabric in Maddie’s room….but found a solid alternative and am dressing it up with some fun trim. In any case, a couple of weeks ago I actually found the source of the fabric so I thought I would share. It is Robert Allen’s “Bold Sconce” in Peacock.
In case you are interested, the fabric comes in four colorways.

I still really love the fabric….

I have been spending A LOT of time at the design center lately. Like, way too much time….my car could probably drive itself there. Before the holidays I was in Lee Jofa the day they were putting out the new sample wings for Suzanne Kasler’s new line. I wanted to blog about it right away but I ran out of time. It does not disappoint.
I have chosen all of my window treatments for our house……no turning back….they’ve been ordered…..but if I hadn’t…..this beauty would need to find its way in. Don’t you think it would work equally well in a sophisticated nursery as it would in a cozy guest room?
I also love the colors in the “Montmartre” pattern. And it is available in a total of 5 colorways.
There are also a lot of basics in this collection, great solids, stripes and upholstery options. If you go to Lee Jofa, you can search on her collection. Almost all of them have been photographed at this point.
It is hard to go wrong with someone like Suzanne Kasler in the driver’s seat.
Do you agree?
I want to do blue and white for our guest room and have previously shared these two inspiration images.

Yesterday, I received an email that Thibaut is running a special until the end of the year (which I am, of course, passing on to my customers). So, I decided to hop over to their site and just browse around a tad. And low and behold, look what I found….I really, really like it.
I still am in total love with the Brunschwig fabric in the top image. But it is CRAZY expensive (like retails at over $350 a yard) and I have to pick my crazy splurges carefully. While Thibaut fabrics aren’t bargains, they are generally pretty reasonable as far as “trade only” fabrics go and they have such great products (and often have coordinating wallpapers). One other thing I love about Thibaut is that they offer room views to accompany many of their fabrics and wallpapers. I don’t know about you, but it really helps me envision things better when I have something more than a small swatch to view.
Anyhow, I think I am going to pop over to the design center to pick up a sample later this week. We shall see.
I have been searching high and low for the perfect yellow pom-pom trim to use on Maddie’s drapes. I thought this would be an easy task…..but it hasn’t been. I asked a friend to recommend some local places and she told me to go look at the Samuel and Sons trim at a local trade only showroom. Wow, am I glad I took her advice. I not only found what I was looking for for Maddie’s room….
But I also brought home a sample of the tape below….which I fell in love with. The image doesn’t even do it justice….it is a hand embroidered linen/jute tape.
Samuel and Sons has a great website where you can view their products, see recent advertisements and designer installations. Here are a few of my favorites.

I love everything about this room.

The fabric on the dust ruffle is China Sea’s Carnival Stripe. I recently ordered a sample of this fabric in the Dark Turquoise/Dark Pink for a client. If I were working on a nursery for a little girl….rest assured this fabric would find its way in.
So simple, yet the colors really elevate it.
I love it.
Do you?
