I'm keeping this post short & sweet today. School starts so I am needed elsewhere...
I love pretty little surprises. Especially when they come in the form of fabric. This would be a great way to stretch the fabric budget too by using the pricier fabric in a smaller area.



I certainly ove little surprises like these. What a great use of designer fabric. Love all the examples.
ReplyDeleteThose chairs in the top photo are gorgeous! And I have been known to buy something for just the lining ;)

I think just the touch of expensive fabrics makes these chairs so much more interesting than if they had been fully upholstered in that fabric.

Oh yeah, love those pretty surprises and you're right it's a great way to showcase a more expensive fabric in a cost effective way.
ReplyDeleteLove those chairs...hope you aren't affected by the hurricane!!! Wherever you are...stock up on wine. Forget milk and bread.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for using leftover fabric. Isn't it amazing what a big difference a little color, print and pattern can make? I could spend hours browsing through fabric samples! :)
ReplyDeleteThis great!
ReplyDeleteIm not even sure how I missed Dina's chairs back in June.
Small dosages can go a looong way !
