Favorite Fabric {& Wallpaper}: Thibaut

September 22, 2010

It’s amazing what a critical difference fabric and wallpaper can make in a space. A great example of this is the latest Thibaut collections which have me searching to find a location in the house where I can wallpaper just one teeny tiny space. Alas, I may have to wait until a little remodeling is done…

Check out the beautiful prints, vivid colors and woven fabrics that are available online. And if you’re just in need of some eye-candy, the above rooms from the Avalon collection provide beautiful inspiration to flip through.

More Favorite Fabrics here or at anytime in the right sidebar {see big button “Browse Favorite Fabrics”} for easy sorting of fun finds for projects and home.

Wouldn’t it be great to do a kitchen wall like the photo above?

Just in Time for Fall: Recycled Sweater Vases

September 21, 2010

I recently found this tutorial and immediately began searching for a time this week to swing by the local Goodwill for a few chunky sweaters.

Under the Table and Dreaming created these beautiful vase and candle holder covers, see the full tutorial here. Sleeves create the easiest slip-on cover, but Stephanie Lynn shares how to turn the rest of your old sweaters into creative and cozy liners as well.

Doesn’t the soft fabric make you ready for cool weather and warm fires?And how great would these be grouped on the mantel or as a centerpiece for an upcoming Fall dinner? Thank you, One Pretty Thing for sharing!
