Fabric Friday–Charlotte Moss

Charlotte Moss has developed a signature style, and with it a design philosophy – which is to live passionately, decorate luxuriously, entertain beautifully and always maintain a sense of humor through it all.  She has designed lines for Century Furniture, Stark Carpets, Halcyon Days and now she has a fabric collection for Fabricut.

It includes over 100 items of trims and fabrics. Munich is one of my favorite decorative tapes with a playful picot edge, it would look wonderful on the edge of a drapery panel or a dust ruffle.

Fanny is a versatile fabric that could be used a drapery, upholstery or bedding. She named it after a pair of pantaloons she found in a vintage shop and loved the faux grain look of the pattern.

 

“Our goal was to create a collection that was fresh and livable for today, but also possessing the comfort and familiarity of time-honored traditions,” Charlotte said. “Most importantly, remember this: Decorating is about breaking all the rules…”

Charlotte is wearing a skirt made from her fabric called Caroline which is sophisticated and whimsical.

Isn’t she fabulous ? I think I want to be her when I grow up !

Word of the Year - Faith

Since I didn’t post my top 10 projects of 2011 and I didn’t post my New Years resolutions, I decided to participate in Layla’s This Little Word of Mine link party. Basically, you choose one word that has the potential to inspire you and create intention in your life, all year long.

My word is ………….

Faith is ………………

God chose this word for me by placing it deep in my heart so that I may please Him and rely on His grace.  When I stop and think of all the people that I admire most, they all have one thing in common, they are faithful.

As this year goes by (and every year after) I will trust Him to give me a heart of love that overflows to others.

Fabric Friday

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and got to enjoy time with family and friends. I know we did ! All of the Christmas decorations are put away and I’m ready to tackle the family room windows. 

I’m obsessing over blue, peacock blue in particular and Nate’s room is my inspiration. Just look at those gold rods !    *sigh

I started with these four fabric choices…….

 

Then narrowed my choices to the Duralee Ikat  on the right and a solid peacock blue like the ones below.

If I go with a solid then I could add an orange trim detail like this.

What is your favorite, solid or patterned ?

Inspiration Photo

Most of us are very visual and that is why photos and sketches are so helpful for communicating between client/designer and workroom. The pink shade below could be called a relaxed roman shade, a balloon shade or a london shade.

When the designer sends me a photo and says, “ I want this but with less folds at the bottom, “ then I can make this…………. and call it a modified london shade.

Or we can work from sketches to design the perfect window treatment for you.
