I am a textile fanatic. Whenever I begin a project, I love shopping for fabrics or pulling fabrics from our large fabric library at our shop for inspiration. Even when I'm not working on a specific project, I can often be found "playing" with swatches, creating different palettes and story boards (Yes, that's what I do for fun, and yes, my boys think I'm odd).
And now I have more gorgeous fabrics to obsess over, because my friend, Interior Designer and Design Blogger Lauren Liess has designed her own fabric line!
L L Textiles embody the clean, relaxed aesthetic of Lauren's designs and the life she shares with her husband Dave and their two gorgeous boys, Christian and Justin (and a third baby on the way!).
"Happikat" was the first of Lauren's fabrics that I admired when she used it as the drapery fabric in her D.C. Showhouse room...
The large graphic pattern of Lauren's "Happikat" made a beautiful bold statement in her D.C. showhouse room!
The oversized blooms of Lauren's "Magnolia" pattern makes it one of my favorites.
This lovely image from Lauren's Pure Style Home website of a table cloth made from "Magnolia in China Blue" tempted me to do a "Scarlet O'hara" and drape myself in yards of Lauren's Magnolias!
Lauren created a cohesive, well designed textile line, not just a bunch of random fabrics. This serene image shows how beautifully Lauren's fabrics, with their combination geometric and organic and large scale and small scale patterns play off of each other...
and her color palette is fresh and classic!
Please visit Pure Style Home to fall in love with the full line of Lauren Liess Textiles. I know you are going to want to play and create with them too!
I'm off to a couple of meetings before the weekend. I plan to take pictures of some of our projects to share with you next week!
In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend.
