Killing It: Ballard Designs

Happy Prez Day! I got the new Ballard Designs catalog in the mail over the weekend and let me tell you..they are killing it lately. SO much good stuff. A little snapshot of my fave items...

Faves: Fabrics

Continuing on with my faves series, I'll touch on my favorite subject...fabrics. I am a complete fabric junkie. I am constantly buying yardage of fabric that I may or may not have a use for but that I feel the need to hoard in my collection. I usually only get a yard or two. Just enough to make a few pillows or recover a stool. I change out pillows in my house like other people change socks.

So here we go. A few of my favorite tried and true fabrics. Some of these I've used a bunch of times, some of these only once but they made such an impression that I feel they warrant a spot on my all time favorites list.

1. Celerie Kemble Betwixt 

This fabric has gone the distance for me. I've used it in Stone, Black, Biscuit, and Zinc. It always works.

2. Braemore Jamil Natural 

My absolute favorite animal print fabric. Just a little dab'll do ya. I've used it errrrrwhere.

Jamil neutral

3. Ralph Lauren Nanking in Blue

Classic. Like a crisp white shirt.

5. Brunschwig and Fils Les Touches

A great fabric to throw in the mix. Works wonderfully as a neutral. I love all the colorways, but I'm partial to the brown and ivory. 

6. Schumacher Pyne Hollyhock

A decorating institution. Shown below in charcoal, but a winner in every color.

I spy another of my faves in this photo. 

6. Schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon

A showstopper. For those who are fearless and fabulous.

So there you have it! I could have made this list much longer, but maybe we do a part 2, huh?
