Caitlin Wilson Textiles

Last weekend Mr. Stitches, Zoe and I went to Asheville to visit the Biltmore House. Wow, amazing window treatments ! I wish I could have taken pictures in the house. Here we are up on the hill facing the house. We got to take Zoe on the grounds and through the gardens. There wasn’t much blooming but the weather was so nice !

Mr. Stitches bought me a House Beautiful magazine for the ride. There was an interview with Caitlin Wilson and a beautiful picture of her and her kids. They are sitting on her bed which is upholstered in one of CWD fabrics, Berry Fleur Chinoise.

She is an interior designer that likes bold patterns and has a gorgeous fabric line with some really fun prints.

I recently ok maybe it was last year, made a roman shade for a client with the Mustard Fleur Chinoise fabric for her kitchen.

I think I need something in the Pink City Maze, perhaps a pillow or two……

Be sure to check out her website and let me know which pattern is calling your name.

Special Spaces Makeover for Addie

Special Spaces of the Triangle strikes again with a room makeover for a sweet little girl named Addie. She is 3 1/2 years old and battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Many volunteers got busy transforming her bedroom and playroom so she could have a beautiful sanctuary to rest and play. We were blessed to be involved again and to create window treatments for her new room.

Janet made gorgeous tiebacks for the draperies. Here we are placing the choux roses on them.

Ronnie built the stage and about 100 other things, he is superman with a hammer !

There were so many people doing so many jobs. Just when you think that there’s no way it’s going to get finished in time, it does ! Ta-Da….





We were able to redo her playroom too and added this stage; what little girl wouldn’t love this ! They had so many generous donations and were able to buy her lots of educational and fun toys.

Yes, that’s all Ikea furniture. You know what that means…. lots of assembling to do.

My WCAA friends jumped in and helped this time. Janet made the valance for playroom and the coordinating cushion for the bench.

Ronica made the shower curtain with fabric so generously donated by Greenhouse Fabrics. Thank you GH, you rock !

Addie loves horses. I can see her riding on that little pony under the new tree mural.

It’s late and time for the family to come home for the big reveal !

Addie and her daddy seeing her room………..

I think she likes it !

Katie and Brenda, the co-directors of Special Spaces of the Triangle worked so hard on this makeover and it was all worth it. I told Mr. Stitches that I wish we could do this every weekend. If you would like to be involved in the next one, just contact and Special Spaces chapter near you. Just look at those beautiful girls; I am blessed to know them all.

There are many more photos on their Facebook page. Go and like them to keep up with all the awesome things they are doing.

She Wore Blue Velvet

They say you’re not supposed to apologize for not blogging but boy have I missed it ! Sorry for leaving you but it has been crazy busy around here. My sofa got a new outfit and I wanted to share it with you. This fabric was originally for my family room draperies but I decided it would be a much heavier look than I wanted and thought it would be perfect on the sofa in my study.

It was reupholstered in this peacock blue velvet from Greenhouse Fabrics. I decided to leave off the skirt this time and let her little feet show. It looks much less blue and more green in person.

Zoe is just happy to have her sofa back…………..

When I saw this room by Katie Rosenfield Desgin, I knew I was on the right track. What a happy room ! I’m loving the blue/green combo lately.

The new lamp in the foyer came from Tuesday Morning and I added the yellow grosgrain ribbon from the table skirt.

This means that I’m still looking for the family room fabric and the drapery lady has had no draperies for almost a year ! My son says I’ll never make them but I think that’s just his way of getting me to hurry up.
