Fabric Obsession

Notice:  I am working on a new background and layout so ignore the weirdness you are seeing while viewing today please.

Does anyone else have a small obsession with fabric, linens and dishes?!  I'll focus on my fabric obsession today but I can assure you it is not any less than my obsession with all linens and dishes, oh and flatware!!  I might mention my new flatware also because I have stalked it for years and can finally call it my own.

I was introduced to this amazing designer via THIS favorite blog I read every. single. day.  I love love love her style because it is a fun twist on traditional and I feel like she would be my best friend (next to Sarah of course) if we were to know each other.  So of course I would love this line of fabric also!!

Holly Zollinger you are a genius.

I need to spiff up our couch pillows and will be deciding on a fabric very soon.  Hopefully my sweet mama will whip them up for me :).  But the real reason I am stalking this website is because I must must have some of these fun patterns in our future new home.  Is it strange to be decorating a house that does not technically exist in my head and not know if it will ever exist or if we will be buying some hideous ranch house that hasn't been updated since 1972 just so John can have 60 acres?  My Dad did that to my Mom and she made it beautiful but I remember crying in the car and refusing to get out because the house was ugly and I didn't want to live there.  Is that spoiled?  I was 13.  Our next house was built and modeled after a southern plantation house so I was happy and forgave everyone for making me live in a ranch but man, that was a moment in the car when I had to suck it up and call that house home.  (I really did enjoy living there... it wasn't THAT bad but it honestly had not been touched since they built it in the early 70's).  Off track a bit.  Let me share some swatches.


So I'm thinking this would be so much fun in Ann's future bathroom.  I've loved this shower curtain for awhile and think this would be fun covering a bench or ottoman or incorporate into a window treatment of some sort.  


This would be fun in our office or den that I let John hang his deer heads, turkey fans and whatever else he kills and needs to display.  I love the whimsy of this fabric and can't get enough of the colors!


This one above and below I would love in our main living area.  The swatch above would be curtains and the swatch below would be an armchair.  Colors are fab and everything else I would do in textures with accent pillows in something unexpected.


I would be embarrassed to share all of my ideas and swatches I have saved with dreams of how I would use them.... you would think I had way too much time on my hands or you would wonder what Ann does all day while I stalk fabric online... (she bounces in her fun machine in front of me, she can see me and I can see her and it's FIIIIINE) :).

Oh another fun tidbit about this company!!  They let you PICK what kind of fabric you want this design on!!  So you could choose a silk, or a linen cotton, or organic cotton knit or upholstery weight twill or whatevs you heart desires!!  How perfect is that?!  Prices are right in line with reasonable also.

Let me know if you order anything and how you used it!!

I will do a post on flatware another time, I want you to soak in the fabric.
