Monaluna

I'm crushing on so many fabrics at the moment. Gone are the days where I favored french toile in red and yellow....here are the days of hand screen printed cotton.

I don't know what I'll do with all this fabric that I'm crushing on. Buy it. Look at it. Make a pillow. Make curtains. Does it matter really? I could just stack it all together and be happy with it as-is.

Every time I see a new fabric, I hunt down the designer. Don't you think these are pretty? These are from Monaluna.

These are designed by Jennifer Moore, from Oakland, CA. A former employee of Pottery Barn, she is now a surface and textile designer and d.i.y. enthusiast. You can visit her website, or her blog to see more of her work!

Dreamy Ocean Inspired Fabrics {from Oliveira}

These make me want to dip my feet in the pool. Too bad I don't have a pool.

New Designs from Harlequin {wallpaper & fabric}

More and more, wallpaper is totally growing on me. The patterns that are popping up more and more frequently are sucking me in to the point that I'm actively looking for a used vintage piece of furniture to "re-do" with wallpaper.

I'm still not sold 100% with putting it on my walls, that may take some real convincing.

My personal favorites are below, and you can see Harlequin's full collection here.

Now that we have found our new home, I'm on the lookout everywhere it seems for new fabrics. My love of Amy Butler fabrics has lead me to macFab, a fabric store located here in Toronto, and they have an online shop here as well.

"MacDonald Faber has been servicing Canada and the United States since 1955. Dale Sonier, who saw a great Canadian company and wanted it to continue and expand well into the future, purchased MacDonald Faber over 10 years ago. The company was renamed macFAB and has been transformed from a supplier of tailor and dressmaker goods, notions, and theatrical supplies to a stylish and trendy retail store, which has expanded to include fabrics, sewing services and wholesaling home products which are sold worldwide. "

Not only do they carry Amy Butler, but lots of other well know lines as well, King West, Loft, macSuede, Robert Allen, Silk, Sunbrella, and Urban.

Here are a few of my personal favorites that I'm considering for our new place. Our bedroom wall colour is a shade of greige, I think these will go quite nicely, don't you? Maybe I'll get adventurous and sew my own duvet cover, as I'm not seeing anything I like!
