Great minds think alike...right?


Last week one of my customers came in with a great fabric by F. Schumacher....designed by Trina Turk, Super Paradise Print in a cream/grey/lemongrass colorway that is so ummm, i don't know. Great? Perfect? All of the above? Anyway, i had been seeing this pattern from afar for quite some time since it is on display in the Schumacher showroom (on my daily route). The scale of this print is monumental (27" x 27" repeat), which i love...but didn't have the impact from two floors up! Seeing it in person and then visualizing it on a vintage settee really got my creative juices flowing, so i popped downstairs to grab a sample! Guess what? All the other colorways were well stocked, but not the great grey/yellow combo that I was grooving on. It is true...great minds DO think alike.

I grabbed the 'punch' colorway...which is very fruity and sweet just like it's namesake and think it would look amazing as a louis style chair back. It is an outdoor fabric, so it would be so suitable for worry-free dining chairs.

What do you think?
