Pleats!

I love a good box pleat. My style is pretty much texture over pattern and this dollop of detail makes me smile.

I've been working on a project I hope to post soon that is full of box pleats.

All images through none other than Pinterest.

Fabric and Song Sharing.

My best friend just had her kitchen renovated. She worked with a whole team of professionals from Storetech + Co in Delray Beach, FL. She entertained my ideas and included me in the decision-making process. I really only affirmed the great decisions she was already making.

The before:

The after:

She forwarded me a link to custom roman shades on etsy and I fell for the lobsters ( now available at Chrysalis in Tallahassee, and I am wondering where I can put this fabric in my house).

I still love the fioretto fabric that is in my sunroom.

She did not end up buying either because she wanted more color, so I sewed her two panels for her kitchen window in the Robert Allen ikat fabric. I forgot to take a picture, but I'll post an after when they are hung.

I wanted to share a song with you that has been stuck in my head for 2 months and its so timely with the Easter weekend. If I was in charge of worship music I would play this and get it stuck in everyone's head and heart.

Inspiration

I have been itching to start a new project around the house because, thank God, the kitchen has been up and running. I'm thinking of making an upholstered headboard for the guest room, more on that later.

I cannot help but try to create or recreate live-able spaces. It's in my nature- I will not fight it. It can get annoying and almost out of control. For example, while I was sitting in church I kept sketching out simple ways to update the church. I wanted to focus on the sermon but all I could do was envision a more attractive, lighter looking space. {which potentially could attract some brides to get married at our church, thus bringing in some side revenue} I doubt that is a priority or in the budget for CenterPoint- so I threw that sketch away.

Anyways today I was inspired by Jenny's project {the Little Green Notebook} I've mentioned my love for Ikat fabric and there is a perfect amount packed into this console table.


please enjoy.

Ikat.

I am on a quest for some ikat fabric. I like the pictures below because there are only 2 colors involved in the patterns. I am an ikat wanna-be. I do not want 3-6 Aztec colors going on, nor do I want my house to look like an African safari. Just give it to me simple and with a punch of color.

The heels are just for fun- I'd break my two-toned-color-rule for those!
