Fabric obsession. Those of us visual types can relate. I first saw this fabric on Mary Ann's blog. The happy orange and pink lumbar pillows in her California living room were made by Liana of Woodyliana.  I had to know what this fabric was! I investigated and discovered it is Barry Dixon's Ishtar in Cinnabar. I want to use this fabric somewhere! Looks nice on the desk chairs in the Lonny offices...

I love it when special fabrics speak to me. The only place I can imagine using this right now is our daughter's apartment that we have been working on. She has the orange wall behind her bed but we have already purchased an orange Greek key design pillow for her bed that looks great. I am too practical to replace something quickly. Liana is offering a pair of them on her Etsy shop here. Is anyone else as crazy for this fabric as I am?

a pillow sign

Do you look for signs that make decision making easier? Not the life altering, self improvement or parenting type of signs but the fun decorating-your-house kind of signs that motivate one to make changes.

Recently, Mary Ann, author of the inspiring Classic Casual Home blog wrote about Woodyliana's beautiful pillows and proper pillow care (here). I had a set of Liana's Lee Jofa pillows favorited in my Etsy account. I spotted them in Mary Ann's post and that was the sign! They are now sitting on the sofa in my husband's tv room (formerly the unused living room).

I also love this Thomas O'Brien Nympheus pillow that Liana makes but cannot find the right place for it. I think it is stunning!

What I missed at NY International Gift Fair 2012

I was all set to go to this summer's NYIGF when a last minute obligation came up.  I was a bit bummed as I haven't been to one yet, and I have been wanting to go for years now.  I will shoot again for 2013, and in the meantime, live vicariously from those lucky enough to attend.

Here is some of my favorite coverage and products.

Unsurprisingly, COCOCOZY's booth is a breath of beautiful fresh air...
