Silver fabrics to shine at home

Inspiration can come from many sources- the silver screen, great jewelry, your new mirrored Ray-Bans. Today I am offered up a collection of fantastic fabrics with a dash of shiny silver for your inspiration.  They are great options for a neutral space. By playing well with greys, yet contrasting, they will add a glint and a wink to a space.

I particularly like the linens with a screen printed silver damask patterns! The collection includes linens to silks, vinyl to velvets, printed to embroidered from maker Vervain to Duralee. If you are interested in more information or yardage any of these fabrics, let me know!

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!
