So we took the initiative to overlap our homes and was hoping to get some deep cleaning and wall painting done before we move it. Heck, paint is the cheapest up-grade around! RIGHT!?! For the past week we are gushing over everything from blues, to reds, to greens, to yellows. We are all over the places. My biggest worry was going overboard. I don't want the house looking like some circus tent. Plus the apartment drab, grey, dirty walls are so last year. It's time to spice things up.
However, I couldn't help but loose myself in piles of little paint chips with so many different shades to choose from. Then I remembered my favorite kooky designer Candace Olson from "Divine Design" on HGTV. She always said that a painting or fabric inspired her for the room she was asked to do. Sounds like great advice to me and I ditched the paint samples, rounded up the kids f and zoomed off to Joann's Fabric. We stumbled upon a great sale with last year designs previously reduced being dropped 50% more. I love it! Thankfully I found the perfect fabric. The colors and design just shouted "HOME" to me. It made me feel cozy. And that's definitely what I want my house to say. So here it is. There is also a sample fabric I found with dragonflies on it that I hope to score another day!
In normal light, this fabric is a kaki color and the flowers are more red, and less pink.
I plan on using this fabric to recover the chairs on a dining room set we plan on refinishing.
GORGEOUS!

I love the fabric! Your house is going to look awesome!
I love the dragonfly, they remind me of my Grandma. She always asked me if she could "visit" once she passed and I always said, "If I'm outside!" Well, a couple months back I was outside and all kinds of birds kept flying around and then the most beauiful dragonfly flew by and continued to circle around Jackson and I for like 20 minutes, you know she loved birds, especially humming birds and dragonflies, mainly anything that flew around. It really made me think of her.
