Decorating wishlist #1 - We are living in a material world

2010 has been the year in which I discovered how much I like fabric. I like the texture and the feel and the warmth and colour it can add to a room. I like sewing with it and I think I will like decorating with it. With such a great range of local hand-printing boutique producers, here's some thoughts on what might adorn various walls, couches and lampshades (not yet constructed) in the new house (still not yet built). I mentioned ink & spindle in this post. These are a few some more of their lovely fabrics. I can see some of the lamps in my future.
I have also been a frequent visitor to the cloth fabric website, which is based in Sydney, These birds (ducks according to the littlest Huddart) might be a future wall hanging.


And finally, in this little round-up of current favourite fabrics is Marimekko, a little less close to home but with so many cool fabrics that could be stretched over canvas in this house-to-be-built of ours.

  2. I LOVE the fabrics - make sure you have haps of wall space and cushions to cover. Maybe (like my aunt and uncle in London) you could have summer cushions and drapes and winter cushions and drapes...eventually.
