Motorized Ripplefold Drapery

My family room draperies are completed and I think it was worth the wait. Take a look……

Motorized Drapery

This is the track that I won from Somfy when I went to Inspire. The track can be ordered for pinch pleat or ripplefold draperies.

Here is a close up of the ripplefold heading. It’s a great look for more modern settings and the stack back is less. The track is attached to a wood fascia that I painted gold.

The fabric came from Spoonflower, they are a company in NC that prints custom fabric. The designer was so great to work with; she was able to adjust the color and pattern repeat to exactly what I wanted.

I think Zoe likes the new look. What about you ?

That was my first YouTube video…. Could I sound any more Southern ?

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.

Fabric Photo Friday

Friday is going to be devoted to fabrics and photos of fabrics !  I just finished upholstering my dark leather ottoman with this great chenille that has a diamond pattern.



When our WCAA group toured Virginia Quilting last May we were able to shop in their fabric outlet.  All their leftover fabric is for sale for a really good price.



This is the fabric that I picked up to recover the ottoman.  There is a dark side and a light side, like on an oriental rug.



My other project was making a new cover for Zoe’s bed.  I found an old duvet cover that I made for the guest bed in a closet.  I just cut it down to fit her bed, it already had velcro in the top.



Slowly but surely, the room is getting lighter !
I’ve been playing around with my camera and Darcy’s tutorial was so helpful in learning about photography.  If you have a nice camera and don’t know how to use it then her series is for you !
