Summer Fabric Redux

August 7, 2014

I am amazed that the first week of August is over.  Soon I will be drowning in college shopping and begging the nurse at the pediatrician’s office to let my youngest in for her annual back-to-school physical that I forgot to schedule.

I did do a few constructive things this summer.  In my Summer Fabrics post this June (see here), I found some bright and beachy fabrics that I loved and used ~

P1040315

I recovered two x-stools from Target, in my FAVE Stoheim “Canton” coral and blue fabric.

P1040326 P1040307

And made a beach bathroom curtain out of it too.

P1040225

I have been in a huge orange phase.  Using it everywhere!

P1040236 P1030790

I made pillows in an orange Duralee stripe and recovered chairs in a Jonathan Adler orange solid.

I spruced up old parsons chairs with an orange ultra suede, then backed them with a Duralee print.

P1040216 P1030778

I added new pillows to a Fire Island home in a Robert Allen bathing suit pattern and an orange chevron stripe.

P1040202

A navy crab fabric with…

a wide yellow and white stripe…

became eight new pillows for a beach cottage.

P1040213

Love pink.

P1030122

I recovered two slipper chairs with this Kravet pink paisley,

and used a pink geometric on two x-stools for additional seating in a living room.

P1040198

This blue and white textured chevron stripe

looks adorable on the back of two couches.

P1040181

A cream herringbone solid became

the perfect roman shade with a beautiful Samuels & Sons turquoise ribbon trim.

P1040232

 A beachy Lily Pulitzer floral (right) and a Thom Filicia dot pattern were PERFECT for

new pillows in a cozy blue and orange office.

The rest of August = relax.

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
