Fabric: Schumacher Zenyatta Mondotta

Recently I completed a design board for an online client of mine. (You can see it here if you missed it!) I suggested a lumbar pillow made out of a fabric that I am completely in love with - Schumacher Zenyatta Mondotta in Peacock. It's such a fun fabric with it's bright colors and zig zag (chevron) pattern.

It's like I serious have to smile every time I look at this fabric! Does it have that same effect on you?!

Like most designer fabrics, Zenyatta Mondotta is pretty pricey. A great way to incorporate it into a room (without totally breaking the bank) is with pillows! Here's a couple available on Etsy;

I wouldn't mind two of these babies on my living room sofa. . . Just what I need, another chevron pillow. . . I think I have like five different throw pillows made out of various different zig zag patterned fabric in my house I think it's an obsession ;)

Look for Less Fabric!

I spotted this find over at Decorpad and just thought I would share it with ya'll! I have been a long time fan of Windsor Smith's Riad fabric;

But as we all know, designer fabric isn't cheap. .  .

Windsor Smith, Riad Dune $63.20/yard

Buyfabrics.com Riad Doon Lattice Drapery Fabric, $16.95/yard

Yep, you read it right. . . $16.95/yard! Best deal I've heard about all week!

Where would you use this gorgeous fabric?! On pillows? To upholster a chair? Drapery panels? Decisions, decisions!

Fabric Find

Like I mentioned in this post, there are several projects I want to get done around my house in the new year. Due to the fact that every spare penny I can find (in my wallet, in my bank account, on the ground, wherever) I am saving for my wedding coming up late this summer, I don't have a lot of dinero to put towards projects around mi casa. . . But where there is a will, there is a way! I am determined to check a few things off my to-do in the next couple of months and am going to do it on a major budget!

Imagine my delight when I spotted this at my favorite discount fabric store today!

I purchased a couple yards and then reserved the remainder of the bolt as well (just because it gives me peace of mind!) I'm not sure if I will make a valance for my kitchen out of it, or possibly pillows for my living room sofa. We shall see!

Here's a few projects other bloggers have completed with this same fabric. (By the way it's Wavery Cross Section and it's available here for a great price but I was able to snag it for an even cheaper price!)

Fabric Love: David Hicks La Fiorentina

David Hicks La Fiorentina is a bold, geometric patterned fabric that will never go out of style in my opinion! It comes in several colorways and compliments so many different styles of design. Whether it's used in large or small doses, the outcome is always fantastic! Take a peak:

Ikat & Suzani Fabrics

Calico Corners has a couple of new fabric lines out. My new favorites include ikat and suzani prints! The ikat prints range in price from 15.99 - 58.99/yard and the suzanni prints range from $32 - $87/yard. Take a look at the stunning colors and patterns they have available!

Featured Designer: Kathryn M. Ireland

Kathryn M. Ireland is a name that seems to be popping up all over the place these days! And it's no wonder, considering she has been published in several magazines lately, has an amazing new fabric line out (Mexico Meets Morocco), and she just opened a new store in West Hollywood. She's been on the rise for a while and it's no surprise! Her interiors are famous for looking beautifully designed, but not overly 'decorated'. She has mastered the art of creating spaces that are both elegant as well as livable, which is something most designers attempt to achieve. Kathryn's designs combine luxurious fabrics with accents of color for rooms that are the epitome of casual elegance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kathryn has a book out, Creating A Home (2009) which chronicles the restoration and decorating process that she has undertaken on her Ojai home (which was recently purchased by Reece Witherspoon.) The book shares the journey of finding a crumbling ranch home all the way to finishing each room of the house.

She was recently published in House Beautiful's February issue that is available on newstands now!

You can visit her website to read more about her work, view her projects, her fabulous fabric, as well as her furniture line!
