Summer Fabric Redux

I am amazed that the first week of August is over.  Soon I will be drowning in college shopping and begging the nurse at the pediatrician’s office to let my youngest in for her annual back-to-school physical that I forgot to schedule.

I did do a few constructive things this summer.  In my Summer Fabrics post this June (see here), I found some bright and beachy fabrics that I loved and used ~

I recovered two x-stools from Target, in my FAVE Stoheim “Canton” coral and blue fabric.

And made a beach bathroom curtain out of it too.

I have been in a huge orange phase.  Using it everywhere!

I made pillows in an orange Duralee stripe and recovered chairs in a Jonathan Adler orange solid.

I spruced up old parsons chairs with an orange ultra suede, then backed them with a Duralee print.

I added new pillows to a Fire Island home in a Robert Allen bathing suit pattern and an orange chevron stripe.

A navy crab fabric with…

a wide yellow and white stripe…

became eight new pillows for a beach cottage.

Love pink.

I recovered two slipper chairs with this Kravet pink paisley,

and used a pink geometric on two x-stools for additional seating in a living room.

This blue and white textured chevron stripe

looks adorable on the back of two couches.

A cream herringbone solid became

the perfect roman shade with a beautiful Samuels & Sons turquoise ribbon trim.

 A beachy Lily Pulitzer floral (right) and a Thom Filicia dot pattern were PERFECT for

new pillows in a cozy blue and orange office.

The rest of August = relax.
