FABRICS

And......we made it to Friday.

Hallelujah.

As a designer...and guys tell me if this is true with you also.....you tend to spend way more time than you can actually bill thinking of ways to perfect a project.  I mean I cant really send a client an invoice the size of the national debt just because I couldnt turn it off:)

Kind of like an artist who works on a canvas who layers on the color until it is perfect.

For those of you with obsessive personalities who bleed design....your client thanks you!

I say this because I have been searching and searching to get the fabrics right for this huge project. 

This is a large room....

 

With really high ceilings.....so it has to be warmed up with lots of texture.  The kitchen is opposite this area.

Add 2 windows that need 35 yards [yes you read that right] of fabric!

In my opinion just using a solid linen would look flat especially when you are talking about the length of the panel at about 135" so I looked for something with a raised pattern that still read neutral.  That will help give them a little depth. 

Whew...tall order....hee haw....designer joke.

And you already know that these are the colors of the cabinets.

Here are some of the fabrics that I am playing around with.  There are actually 2 sitting areas in this darn space.  One facing the kitchen and the other around the fireplace and TV [located to the right of the FP].

More playing....

More.....

Trims that could possibly go on various pillows and upholstery.

Yeah....are you getting dizzy with selections?  

I want to punch myself in the face.

Finally we decided on the 2 sofas and chaise which were ordered this week.

That my friends is how you can get yourself so wound up over a project that your eyes spring open at 4:00 AM.....

Help me.
