Fabric love

Its official, I'm in love with beautiful fabric. I love it all...the patterns, texture and design. Finding the perfect fabric for your drapes, cushions, ottomans = swoon.

Bold fabrics and colour have had a resurgence in design in the last little while and can often take a very neutral room to another level. Or, a soft neutral can tie a room together. Whatever style you choose, the options are endless.

I just love the blue in these drapes...


These stripes give this room wow factor...


And the yellow fabric in Sarah Richardson Designs is fresh and lovely...



Here are a few other beautiful ways to use fabric in your rooms...




Love the chevron


Great colour and fabric combo



I was on the hunt for fabric to make the roman blind for the kitchen and came across a FANTASTIC website that supplies fabric called Tonic Living. www.tonicliving.com I heart this company. Tonic Living has tons of stylish and trendy fabrics, for fabulous prices. They also do custom drapery services. It is Canadian and if you live in Toronto you can take a stroll into their warehouse store.

You may find it hard to choose fabric online before getting to hold it, see the colours in person etc. No problem, you can order samples for just $1. That's what I did...


I chose the Vintage Blossom Dove (its a Dwell Studios Robert Allen fabric) for the roman blind at $18.00/yard. I went to a couple of fabric stores in the city and found the exact same fabric for $59.95/yard. Really?? Yikes.

Here's the BEST part... Tonic Living will give my readers 10% off any order. All you need to do is sign up as an official "follower" of my blog. Once you do so, I will send you the coupon code that you need to enter when placing your order at Tonic Living.

Keep it Beautiful.
