Shocked and Amazed...

I have several pieces of furniture that need to be reupholstered as well as a quite a few ideas swarming around in my mind for possible future decorating. Shockingly enough a good many of those involve one of two fabrics:
Kelly Wearstler's "Imperial Trellis" (made in a fabric and wallpaper by Schumacher)


and a fabulous green print entitled "Ogee" from Pottery Barn (it's listed as a "Grade E" upholstery fabric on their website).

Well the Schumacher print is upwards of $100/yard and the Pottery Barn is not sold by the yard. What's a girls to do? She is to discover this fabulous shop off of this blog. Who knew googling "Imperial Trellis knock-off" would bring such desired results?

While browsing P. Tree Textiles to see what other great things I might find I stumbled upon the Ogee fabric too.

Here they are at $15.99/yard and $16.99/yard, respectively. Compare them with the original pictures - they look great!

I won't lie - I'm thrilled to my toes. I'm ordering samples this week and can't wait to see how they look to decide which to use on my first project...recovering my dining room chairs!

Oh my goodness! That is so amazing that you can just buy knock-off prints! I had no idea. Well, keep us all posted on how they look if and when you decide to use them!

I had never been to Anthropologie until yesterday. Shouldn't have set foot in that store, but I really did like it. So bright and colorful. Wow, have you ever created something based on something you saw on that store? POST!

I hope you post the dining chairs after you get the new fabric on them! Were the samples all that you had hoped they would be? Love your blog - please post more!
