Emily’s Awesome Headboard

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

My brother John designed this headboard for his oldest daughter Emily. 

We call her Em.  I think that is the coolest headboard I have ever seen.  They are in the process of making huge cloth letters for her wall that spell LOVE.  The O will be made using a fabric zebra heart.  They bought the fabric at InWeave.

Dream House

This is a picture of the master bedroom at HGTV’s Dream House.

I like how they used fabrics in this room.  On the bed and even the hangings around the bed frame.

Dramatic 17 foot curtains draw the eye up to the tall ceiling.  Click here to check out more pictures of the master bedroom.

Headboard Idea

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

We’ve made it though the Chistmas hustle and bustle.  Are you ready for a project?

Here is a headboard you could make.  

I could see it done in one of our microsuedes, or a velvet would look nice.

A chinelle would be perfect and they are 30% to 40% off right now online.

Rhonda’s Bedroom

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

My sister Rhonda just completed a total bedroom redo. 

She painted the walls, put in new wood floors and sewed all new bedding and curtains. 

I like that she put the curtains all the way to the ceiling.  It made the room seem taller.

She is very talented. 

In her last home she took out a load bearing wall and put in a header to replace the support.

She can do just about anything she cares to attempt.

What do you think of her new bedroom?   I love it.  All the fabrics came from InWeave so Rhonda got a large discount for sharing her home with us on the blog.  Thanks again Rhonda. 

If you want to redo a room and need help picking out coordinating fabrics, come in and we can help you make a plan.

Trim Uses.

  We’ve been dang busy in the store trying to catalog, display and price our lovely new trims.  Did I mention Julie bought 30,000 pieces!  30,000 little and not so little beauties!  And I will let you in on a little secret,  she bought 15,000 yards of new fabric yesterday!  We don’t have the complete scoop from Julie on the type of fabric etc. but I will let you know when I get the full story.
