Also, tomorrow is link up day for all of you playing along. There are over 70 of you!
This week was all about fabric. I know I have told you many times that I am obsessed with Meg Braff. I love this sofa so much....

I am having my love seats reupholstered to look just like it. You can read about that crazy story here.
Finding the perfect shades of blue was not going to be easy. I did a bit of running around on my own and got really frustrated. I enlisted the help of Jennifer, a woman that knows her shades of blue better than anyone else. She found them....of course.
The fabric is by a company called Outdura. It's an indoor-outdoor fabric. It is also hard to find. For that, I enlisted the help of my super fun and funny designer friend, Sherry. She was quite reassuring when she said she had never heard of this company. After a bit of research, her sources said six week delay!
Since that was not an option, I started an online hunt. Luckily for me, I found a place that had it in stock. Next up, was this fabulous stripe
Layer them together, and you have this
I really wanted a large scale floral. I fell in love with this Thibaut fabric.
Back to Sherry, man that woman must be sick of me...... but she came trough. Thanks Sherry! And when everything is together, you now have this
The final fabric is my custom Spoonflower fabric, and that is in the mail.
The love seats were picked up on Monday, and the floral was put in the mail to Leslie, my favorite pillow maker. That's it for me this week......
