If you are fabric obsessed like me, you have likely seen Brunschwig’s “Les Touches” fabric.

Historically, this pattern has come in three colorways–black, cognac and red.  However, last year the Brunschwig introduced some “fresher” colors in this great pattern.

Fabric Correction

My eyes deceived me yesterday (or I didn’t look close enough).

I was wrong about the fabric.

The fabric used on the chair above is actually Lee Jofa/Groundworks “Edo” designed by Kelly Wearstler.  See how it compares to the Clarence House fabric I had found below.

The fabrics are similar but definitely not the same!  The Kelly Wearstler fabric runs around $117 a yard, while the Clarence House is more like $146.  Thanks to reader, Libby, for the heads up!

Neither is cheap.

Do you like one, both?

Happy Weekend!

I Die...

I saw this image over on Design Indulgence the other day.  Seriously, an entire wall covered in black and white Betwixt fabric?  Could there be anything more perfect?

Makes me want to upholster some walls!

Fun Fabric....

I’ve been back and forth to the design center lately for a few local projects I have going on.  I spotted this fabric in one of the showrooms (it is Vervian’s “La Boheme” in Flamingo) and snapped a photo to keep in mind.  How cute would it be in a little girl’s bedroom?  Such fun colors….yet a fairly classic design.

La Boheme Flamingo

I can picture a room with cream walls, grass shades, simple french pleated panels out of this fabulous crewel fabric, a fun headboard and a natural fiber rug. 

The fabric is available in 5 colorways.  You can see them all here.

I wondered why....

I wondered why all of a sudden I have been getting daily requests for quotes on  Hinson’s Fireworks Wallpaper?

Then I saw this image from a recent Lonny magazine.

It might have something to do with it.

Mary McDonald for Schumacher

I believe my first introduction to Mary McDonald (or at least my first remembered image) was her amazing office that has since been re-decorated.

She is known for her hollywood glam style, love of chinoiserie, and her bold use of color and pattern.  She is also starring in the second season of Bravo’s “Million Dollar Decorators” which I’ll admit is a guilty pleasure of mine when my husband is out of town or working late! 

Osborne & Little should be paying her a commission for her use of their Volte Face wallpaper.  So popular….

Anyways, I remember hearing that Mary McDonald was doing a new collection for Schumacher and it sortof fell off my radar (like many things late last year).  But, I got an email yesterday from Schumacher announcing the collection is available.  Of course, I had to head straight to the site to check it out.  She has a great collection of prints, wovens, and cool appliques and trim.  Below are some vignettes from the collection (all via Schumacher).
