DESIGNER'S GUILD FABRICS - Not Your Mother's Chintz!

Well, technically these fabrics aren't chintz (with the glazing) but they are a more modern version of traditional floral patterns.  Just check out these updated styles from Designer's Guild, which is based in London.  I love their use of brighter colors and their oversized designs.  For fun I also threw in some samples of their geometrics and chinoiseries at the bottom.

DESIGN LESSON - Cat's Cradle Fabric

Robert Allen makes great fabrics at reasonable prices.  Today we are talking about Cat's Cradle:


This is one of the most popular geometric fabrics today.  I have included photos of different applications.  Note the following photo with drum shades (which we discussed in an earlier post)!
