Fabrics -From Seashell to Beach to Nautical

outdoor seating with seashell fabric
One day I will have something upholstered in a seashell, beach or nautical fabric for sure! The patio above (photo by Russell Sadur) and dining room below (design by James Radin) inspired me to find great fabric sources.

I love all of these fabrics, especially the octopus one! I may just have to have some pillows made from that fun fabric! Thanks so much Maya for letting others know about my giveaway!

Luv the town toile fabrics! It's frenchy and beachy all combined into one. I may have to do some research where I could find that and have my outdoor set reupholstered. Thanks Maya!

Any one of those are great beach fabrics. The blue palms in the dining room are great.

I was just thinking I need to get some fabric to make some new outdoor cushions....that is, if I can't find any already made ones I like:)
I love the starfish fabric the best!!!!

What I would give to have that dining room set...and of course the beach cottage that would be built around it! Love that!!!

Love your blog...been coveting for awhile now!
I am not sure if you're above the whole "award" thing but since you're in my top 10 I had to send this one your way... it's more of a chain letter, that you have to tell us stuff about YOU! and dish out some good facts!
Head over to http://www.ilikethewayyoudo.blogspot.com to grab your link :)

I love the Summer house fabric with blue prints. It would be lovely to use these prints for home furnishing.
Btw, I did a sea shell painting.. it is inspired by your post on the Quahog shell. I have also put a post in my blog about it. Please do have a look at it - http://artbeautysociety.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/seashell-canvas/

Love Where You LIve said...

Oh gosh...as I was scrolling through those images, I wondered which ones grabbed me the most. I think my fave was the prints by Waverly. But I also like Robert Allen -- and who doesn't like toile?!
