Today I went out to some fabric stores to search for a good upholstery pattern for my chair. I don't actually remember where I first acquired such a weird chair but when I moved into the basement I remember it being in my room. After a few years it got a little tight in with my new desk and ever growing "stuff" so it moved along to my aunt Kelly. 7 or so years later she's gotten sick of it and offered it back to me.
Being in the crafty, DIY mood I am in lately it was the perfect starter upholstery project. I was so anxious to start, I am already shopping for fabric before I have the chair in my possession (which I hope to rectify soon.) Upon my search at Fabricana I happened upon a pattern with birds, twigs and flowers on it. It looked like a pen and ink drawing, inked in brown on a light gray. Gray isn't in my colour scheme for my living room, but I hope to unite all my obscure colours with some pillows.
Not having made a concrete decision, I waddled home a little disappointed that a few yards of cotton weren't in my arms. Later on in the afternoon I started searching my favourite blog, Design Sponge, for chair fabric inspiration. I noticed a banner ad on the side for a designer website so I thought I'd take a peek and see if they had any good ideas.
Well look what I happened to find:
The EXACT fabric I had in mind for my chair. It's a bit busier than I was looking for, but I think it's just too pretty. And to be able to see it on a similar chair is helping push me to a final decision.
