Leopard Love- Leopard rugs

I do love leopard, but one needs to be careful with leopard as it can loose the classic look quickly! However, today I was at Don's Carpet One and found not one, but two different leopard carpets. i am wondering if I have spotted a trend in patterned carpeting!
Dense, high quality, small print, leopard. Now, wall to wall plush leopard might not be for everyone, but you could have it bound for an area rug or a runner. Here's a few examples of some great leopard wall to wall carpets! Some wool, some blends.

Leopard can be subtle as this rug



fabrics, fabrics, fabrics!

I love to here the sound of the UPS man's breaks because it means I am about to get a package. Today's package is glorious. It is a fabric shipment for a bedroom project that is delicious! When I took the plastic off of the package, it has the tell-tell squeak of silk rubbing against silk. The back of the fabric is a burst of colored fibers, the front is the ordered beauty of an old world classic floral, re-made with a modern color palette. Floral jacquard silk. Really, need I really say more? In fabrics, color is never richer than when produced in silk. I cannot wait to make it into a headboard!



This fabric came too! I love the subtle animal print of velvet on a weighty natural cotton linen field. Would be perfect for a touch of whimsy in a neutral beach house! Or adding a hint of pale aqua in a creamy family room. Pillows? yes! Chair upholstery? Double yes!
