Fabrics from the Furniture Market

I spent most of my time in High Point looking at fabric showrooms and I wanted to share some pics with you.

Paisley….people either love it or hate it.  If you’ve been reading my blog you know I love it !

I’m still loving this color combination and this is a great mix of patterns. I could see the solid linen on a sofa, the circle print on a chair, the damask pattern on draperies and stripe pillows.

Black and white with a touch of red or yellow will always look sharp.

Silks are extremely popular, especially embroidered silks. 

Silk is a natural, lustrous fabric prized for its beauty for thousands of years.
In Roman times, silk fabric was so desirable that traders would bring it from China to Europe across Asia along a route known as the Silk Road. In Europe people would attach pieces of silk fabric to their clothes, like jewelry, as it was more expensive than gold.

There were a lot of great patterned sheers too.

While in High Point, I purchased a new fabric line, Catania Silks.  They have beautiful silks, sheers, trims and hardware.  I’m looking forward to creating lots of amazing window treatments with these.
