Caitlin Wilson fabrics

Ok, I know, everyone is talking about these Caitlin Wilson fabrics today, but seriously, they are gorgeous, and at a reasonable price point for fancy fabrics.  I am currently pricing out my chiang mai dragon pillows, which are, ahem, NOT reasonably priced anywhere. So I am appreciate of a beautiful pillow at a reasonable price. I think that these pillows will find their way onto an Ugly Sofa moodboard soon.

The pink and navy makes me want to design a little girl's room, and the coral ones belong in my bedroom.

3 pieces of fabric

I have been perusing fabric after fabric for curtains for the new house.  I have narrowed it down to three fabrics...but I only have two rooms.  Not that I can't use the third fabric in pillows, or what have you, but I am trying to figure out which fabrics to plan each room around.  The rooms that need doing are the dining room, and my bedroom.

Fabric #1: Richloom Giverny in Camelon.  I think this would look fabulous with some brass or gold accents, and there are a ton of colors in here to pull out (red, navy, light green, dark green, pale blue, pinks and golds).

Fabric #2: Richloom Lucy Eden. I like that his has a light background but yet is so colorful.

Fabric #3: Waverly Olana Bayleaf.  I have had this fabric in my "will use someday" list for years now.

I have planned out the rest of what I want in the rooms, and weirdly enough, any of these three fabrics would work in either room.  One room has red accents, the other has navy, and these three fabrics work with both red and navy, so...I'm having a hard time picking.  

fabric scale

Last week I ordered some fabrics from Fabric.com:

Metro Living Tile Garnet

Metro Living Tile Natural

Kaufman Luca Teal

Despite the fact that the little ruler on the bottom clearly shows that the scale of the fabrics are very different, I didn't really notice that.  I also was thinking that they were all upholstery weight.

Well.  They aren't the same scale, nor are they all upholstery weight.

The middle one (the Kaufman Luca) is upholstery weight and a lovely fabric, but too big a print for the chair I wanted to put it on.  The smaller tile prints are not upholstery weight.  Also, the Mister didn't like any of them.

So....I guess I'm adding all of these fabrics to my brown bag of fabrics in the closet until I can find another project for them..
