Dreaming of Green

by Liz Dowling

Winter must really have its hooks in me.  Every fabric I pick up lately is the color of water, grass or dirt.

The monochromatic “snow” landscape is taking its toll.  I am craving earth tones.

Here are two beautiful Duralee fabrics, the one on the left designed by Eileen Kathryn Boyd called “Seaglass.”

A client of mine is using both of these in her living room.   Tilton Fenwick on the left and Candice Olson on the right.  Love her choices.

Basic, but I love the texture in these two fabrics.  “Sea Salt” by B. Berger and a soft corduroy by Kravet.

Two fabrics that remind me of the Caribbean.  Take me away!

Jonathan Adler paired with a plum ultrasuede, yum.

We (finally) did have a sunny day to balance out the cold and snow.

Eileen Kathryn Boyd zebra in “Pool” with a Thibault herringbone.  Sea and sand.

More green and brown!  I normally gravitate to bold color.  I think I need a vacation.  A tan cotton rattan on the left and a China Seas fretwork on the right.

Love these colors AND I am not seeing them out my window!

Patterns.

P1060405
A soft B. Berger fabric on the left with an aqua indoor/outdoor floral.

P1060395
Earth tones in an Ikat pattern by Quadrille, paired with a ultrasuede called “Fog.”  I like using ultrasuede because it is soft, easy to clean and comes in fabulous colors.

Brown is looking pretty darn good these days!

P1060384
Tan with blue.

P1060383
A little orange snuck into the mix in a gorgeous Thibaut fabric.

P1060370
I am having a hard time moving away from this color scheme.

P1060389
And again.

I am headed to Atlanta this week and the weather looks like a balmy 40 degrees with rain.  I’ll take it!
