Inspiring ways to use fabric and textiles

FREE IMAGES There are so many interesting ways to incorporate fabric in your hope besides curtains in blankets! Check out some awesome ways I found:

Frame a favorite scarf.  Even if it's just on display in the summer when you won't be wearing it, you'll get more enjoyment from it than if it were  just hanging in your closet!

Use shoebox lids, styrofoam, or canvas stretchers to mount your favorite swatches as a pretty gallery wall collection.

Hanging your fabric on your wall as wall art is probably one of the most budget friendly options as well as it being so easy to change out if you ever decide you want a different view.

An extra touch to your luxury bedroom! I have always had a little place in my heart for canopy beds and I love how simple this one is. I might be utilizing this idea to hide our heat pump...

Using some favorite fabric on a table or coffee table is a great way to make an impromptu table cloth or runner.

Even if it's just a simple project like wrapping a lampshade in fabric - it can really help a room pop! 

Unique and gorgeous - throw pillows from RedBubble

FREE IMAGES If you are tired of seeing the same old throw pillows everywhere in the same old patterns or obnoxiously over used sayings, then do I have a find for you!  Redbubble is expanding it's offering of interior design canvases to offer throw pillows.  Read below:

"Tired of the same chevron and stripes? Showcase your unique individuality with original artwork on your sofa, bed or chairs! Redbubble’s vast collection of more than 10 million unique pieces of art means you’re sure to find a design that speaks to you - whether it feature books, pandas, bikes or almost anything else! The pillow covers, available in 3 square sizes and made from soft yet durable 100% spun polyester poplin fabric, can be purchased with or without the 100% recycled polyester fiber insert and feature the selected design on both sides."

Calling these pillows unique is an understatement!  I was lucky enough to snag one and not only does it fit into my existing pillow scheme perfectly, it dons a beautiful work of art and is a piece I don't have to worry about seeing featured on every other blog and in every other house tour.

Here are a few other favs I from Redbubble...

What I missed at NY International Gift Fair 2012

FREE IMAGES I was all set to go to this summer's NYIGF when a last minute obligation came up.  I was a bit bummed as I haven't been to one yet, and I have been wanting to go for years now.  I will shoot again for 2013, and in the meantime, live vicariously from those lucky enough to attend.

Here is some of my favorite coverage and products.

Unsurprisingly, COCOCOZY's booth is a breath of beautiful fresh air...
