Mary McDonald's Fabrics with Schumacher

I met with the Schumacher Fabric rep the other day, and maybe I have had my head in the sand, but have just seen Mary McDonald's fabric.  The line includes these huge DeGournay inspired fabric panels, would look great on a wall, as drapes or bedding.  The repeat is 131.5" and a full 54" wide. Wow.  Leave it to Mary to make a statement.   I also love the Garden of Persia print.  Take a look:

The Lost Party




Ashley Mae Hoiland-Christensen is the talented artist behind the shop Birds of Ashmae. I've known her since High School and it has been so fun to see her achieve her dream of writing a children's book. Her book has been placed on Kickstarter to raise funds for the book to get published. There are only a few days left to pledge so please check it out and donate any money you can. Even the smallest amount helps! And everyone who has pledged $10 or more will receive a hard copy of the book when it is published, plus a single postcard print with an image from the book.

This book is sure to be a family keepsake! The images will be just beautiful.

Feature Friday: 7 Year Wedding

Today I am featuring the home of wedding blogger Lenya from the blog 7 Year Wedding. I love her style and I think you will to. Here is what she says she loves most about her home:

"What I love most about my house is that when I step in the door it feels like home - The design is fresh, modern and filled with pieces full of meaning that tell the story the life of my husband and I.  As the saying goes "Home is where the heart is" and I sure feel like my heart is here!"

Enjoy!

Linen Wrapped Cocktail Tables

 I am always in search of a great coffee table and always find my way back to linen wrapped tables. The one thing I have found with lots of coffee tables, is they are always too tall -- I like a nice low table, the way they made them in the 60's. Well the great thing about linen wrapped tables is that some companies customize them like Art Applications.   Also, Matthews and Parker makes cool reproductions of some of my favorite furniture; below are a few tables that I am liking at the moment.

Your Chance to Win a Window Treatment of Your Choice From Windows By Melissa


If you've been reading my blog for awhile you know that I love using Windows by Melissa for projects. She does a great job at roman shades, curtains etc.

I even had her do the roman shade in Jane's Nursery

You have a chance to win a free window treatment of your choice from Windows by Melissa. 
She is doing an Ugly Fabric Challenge. Sounds intriguing no? 

Here is how you can enter, send Melissa a link to an ugly fabric. She will then do a blog post with the fabric choices and then pick the top 3 ugliest fabric and make window treatments out of them. Then the readers will vote on their favorite window treatments (favorite for whatever reason: ugliest, best looking for the material, etc). The winner will get a free window treatment of their choice, fabric included (not the ugly fabric, but fabric of their choice). And each participant will get a coupon or credit.

Go to her website to get more information on entering!
