I owe a big thank you to my fabric sponsor for the Stylish Spaces Interior Design Expo and TV appearance – Calico Corners provided the beautiful fabrics you’ll see over the next few weeks as I get a chance to post these projects and their easy step-by-step directions. ($20 coupon link at the end of this post!)
Projects included updating an old wooden headboard into a beautiful upholstered version, covering several lampshades, creating fun canvas boards, building a magnetic wall board (from an old dresser mirror) covered in a chic aviary print, covering chinese paper lanterns to really ‘spice up’ a party theme, simple diy night lights, using fabric for matting b&w pictures, lining an Expedit Ikea bookcase (this idea is so quick and easy for any bookshelf…) and a few more!
Calico Corner prints are modern, trendy and so fun to sort through to find the perfect look. I have had a wonderful time building quick and easy fabric projects out of the vast online selection and since my expo theme was a ‘design on a dime’ version of how to update your space, I knew that featuring home remodel ideas that involved small amounts of fabric (usually just 1/4 to 1 yard of fabric) was the perfect solution.
Here’s a quick link to a $20 off coupon from Calico Corners to get you started. To find the store nearest you (or order online – that’s the easiest for me!) plug in your zip code on this page.
It all looks great! Thanks for the coupon!
Thanks everyone! The projects were so much fun to think up, assemble and display – Calico prints are Beautiful too, which always helps!

Those fabrics are so beautiful. Work in perfectly harmony with your creative designs.
Greetings from Tijuana
Thanks for the coupon link. I’m so glad I found your blog via Brooklyn Limestone, I’m going to check out all your projects!
Dear Morgan,
It’s so great to see photos of the projects you crafted–although I’m not sure how you recovered a lampshade with one hand and held a microphone with the other! Thanks for featuring fabrics from Calico Corners and for inspiring your readers to start a decorating project. Even small projects can make a big difference in the look of a room!
OMG, Morgan! You did all those projects in preparation for the event?! You are one busy girl! Looks great though! Can’t wait to see the tutorials.
