I am sure you heard the news (featured in this month’s House Beautiful) that Duralee will soon be debuting a new licensed collection with textile designer, John Robshaw.
I love his ethnic prints. In fact, I was looking a some yellow pillows from his line a few weeks ago with Maddie’s bedroom in mind.
I cannot wait until this collection hits the showrooms. I am sure it will be fabulous.
What about you?
For the longest time I was planning on using the below fabric for Maddie and Harry’s playroom. My color scheme in the room is grey and yellow….and I love this fabric. The only reason I changed my mind was because I found a grey zebra rug for the room that I loved and the greys competed, the rug being more beigey-grey. The fabric is an Annie Selke design and I’ve seen it also offered through Duralee and Pindler as well.
It comes in a bunch of different colorways….and is pretty affordable….at under $30 a yard.

I took this next photo at a local Dallas store (Blueprint) because I loved the table that reminded me of Mary MacDonal’s old office (second photo below). But, I digress….do you spy the fabric in the background?
Here are the colorways.
Do you like it?
Where would you use it?
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….
You?
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?
