Ritzy Stripe Chair

I upholstered one chair as a test in Amy Butler’s Ritzy Stripe fabric.

ZigZag Chair Fabric

It looks great, but I’m not sure what to do for the rest of the room. Creamy white walls and a green ceiling? A green rug?

Photos of Drew Barrymore’s Flower Films offices (in the April ’08 issue of Domino) have been making the rounds on the design blogs recently, and I love the curtains in Nancy Juvonen’s office.

Perhaps I could do something similar, but with green or black trim.

I’m also still obsessed with the black and white rug I saw during my recent IKEA visit. Is it too much with the chair pattern? I know, it probably is. Maybe I’d use the rug and then go with a solid chair fabric.

Amy Butler’s Ritzy Stripe Fabric

Yes? The colors go better together than they appear to in the photos above. I think the different scales of the patterns might work together (maybe?).

Why is this the one room where I can’t make a decision? Meh.

Little Easter Chicks?

Anyone know where I can buy some?

A Collar “Cozy”

I made something stupid for Murray this afternoon.

Murray
What’s that boy? Yes, it does look silly.

I sewed a little scrap of fabric into a sort of neckerchief…

And then I closed the middle up and inserted the collar.

Collar Inside Its "Cozy"

Now it’s a collar cozy.

I figured it would be better than the plain black collar Murray’s been wearing, which I suppose it is. Also, the ring for the leash is accessible and his ID tags stick out.

Murray & His New Collar "Cozy"

I should just order a real collar from Lindsay over at Pattern & Paw. Probably this one.

Green IS Murray’s color, you know.

For now though, Murray will have to be content with his cozy.

*edit*
Lindsay offered 15% off at Pattern & Paw in the comments, but I thought I’d point it out up here too! Enter ‘nicoleislovely’ at checkout for the discount. Thanks, Lindsay!

Amy Butler Fabric in the Dining Room

Looks pretty good.

Ritzy Stripe (the zigzags) on the chairs, and Primrose (the other fabric) for curtains? It’s lacking some ‘oomph’ though. Maybe that wall color is too dark.

I wish those zigzags came in hot pink. Or pink and aubergine!
