I am having the hardest time finding the right fabrics for Maddie’s new room.  The wallpaper I have chosen has an off white background and I was all set to use the Rubie Green chevron but the whites compete….sigh….

In any case, while searching yet again today for a fabric that really wows me, I ran across this new Trina Turk for Schumacher fabric.  It isn’t right for Maddie’s room…..but I now seriously want to find a project for this stunner. 

This indoor / outdoor fabric comes in a number of colorways.  But, the prep in me is really loving the pink and navy combo.  Add in the ever popular chevron and I just love it! 

Let’s face it, Kelly Wearstler’s Imperial Trellis fabric for Schumacher is beyond popular.  Check out just about any design blog or online magazine and I’ll bet you can find an image of this fabric applied in one fashion or another.

I recently came accross a couple of images of this fabric used in a bit more traditional of settings than I am used to seeing.

I have to admit, just when I wonder if I am tiring of the pattern, I am reminded of its versatility.

What about you?  Are you a fan?

I sell a lot of fabric and rarely get to see the finished product.  So, I am always happy when a customer emails a photo of the end result.  A while back I sold this great fabric over on “Maddie’s Market” to Lauren.

Lauren was gracious enough to share a couple of photos of how she incorporated this fabric into her family room. 

Don’t you just love this room?  I think that the fabric was a great addition to her decor.  Thanks to Lauren for sharing!

 Also time is running out, don’t forget to enter to win a yard of Kelly Wearstler’s Imperial Trellis Fabric before Saturday.

I am loving the combination of the large scale gingham and the floral wallpapers, both from Schumacher.

The room has an updated traditional feel to it.  Almost updated granny?  I am picturing this combination in a sophisticated nursery.  Perhaps with a nice dose of wainscoating 3/4 of the way up the wall?

What do you think?  Do you like the combination?

Until I find the source on the Anthropologie paper I blogged about yesterday, here is a round-up of some other favorite papers featuring our feathered friends….

Schumacher– Birds and Butterflies

Schumacher– A-Twitter

Scalamandre– Aviary

Julia Rothman for Hygge & West

Zoffany– Gustavius, Eleonora

Nina Campbell– Perroquet

Osborne & Little– Grove Garden

Brian Yates– Pip, Early Bird

I really have a thing for birds (remember my dining room chandelier?)  I’d love to incorporate one of these papers into a future project.

And with that, I hope you have a great weekend!

One rug, two showhouses……

I love each space and am currently loving the orange/coral and blue pairings that seem to be hot in designs at the moment.  I am thinking this rug may be the jumping off point for Maddie and Harry’s playroom.  And even better, the rug is available in 4 sizes (5×7 through 9×12) and even at the high end is less than $1,000!
