A TRIP TO THE FABRIC STORE

I'm not very happy today.  

Nothing earth shattering but yesterday when I was at the vet with Cami they said they detected a heart murmur and I need to take her to a cardiologist.

What?  My perfect little girl......crap.  After my last two dogs [and all of their problems] I thought "can I please just have one healthy dog?"

I will keep you guys updated on on this little hiccup in my life.

How about I show you some fabrics.  I had to go down to Lewis and Sheron the other day so I took some pictures for you.

Your welcome:)

I think I took mostly blues since that was my agenda!

I am loving these Madcap Cottage fabrics!

So many great blues.....

 A little color.....

I never met a green and white stripe I didn't like.

What's not to love right.

Then I hopped over to Ballard Designs looking for accessories for an install and got a look at some of the new Miles Redd collection in person.

Look at this detail on the sofa....

Loving this pretty pink sofa!

And this oval ottoman gave me a moment.

Ballard is going modern!

This swivel chair was comfy....

Some diners for your pleasure.....

The colors in this throw....

Love this pretty white cabinet

How can there be anything wrong with this baby?

What does your weekend look like?  Can you believe it's August?  Only 133 days until Christmas.....hahahaha

I saw this on instagram

 

Truth.

BALLARD DESIGNS MILES REDD COLLECTION

Well y'all left me in one piece with my post on faux flowers.....most people were OK with a few sprinkled around.....as long as you don't let them get dusty.  

So there might be dust 1" thick on my bookcases but I will dust that faux fern religiously.  

Promise.

I got an email from Ballard Designs about their new Miles Redd collection!  You know I had to check that out right.....

He started his career with John Rosselli and Bunny Williams!

Check out some of his designs......

Fun and whimsical come to mind...... 

He takes risk and is known for his use of color and pattern.....I love that no 2 rooms are alike.

Back to his Ballard collection.

I pulled a few Ballard fabrics that I feel Miles might put together....

Of course there is more.....but it also got me checking out other Ballard favorites:)

Like these 2 benches!

These chairs.....

And they have a spool chair...

Similar to the one I just used

 This mirror can really make a statement....

I used this same on in a project.....think "adding a window where this isn't one"!

Love this new nightstand!

This cute beaded light fixture.....

I used the Ballard Designs barstools for my sisters ORC and they are awesome.  

So comfortable.

I have used these gourd lamps many times....

I used to change out the shades with a Pottery Barn one but they have been discontinued:(

I am totally in love with this raw wood curtain hardware.....move over acrylic and brass.....

And these pillows....

Silk!

Mohair!

Table linens....

Vases....

Catalog shopping at it's best!

And just so you know I practice what I preach....I had my neighbors over for dinner Sunday night and here is proof that I used real flowers.....

And I'll close with this cute picture of Cami

She looks like a Guinea pig here:)  I try to eat that nose on a daily basis.
