It has yet to stop raining since last week, so I figured I would find an indoor activity for the weekend. I finally made it out to this fabric store that Christine over at Design Esquire posted about! I got there late in the day on Saturday and they closed at 5:30...the staff might have had to drag me out {they said it happens all the time}. I took some pictures on my cell phone, but head on over to Christine's blog for the full write up. It's insane.
Before I was dragged out, I asked to have a few things cut. There was only a little bit of the Greek key trim left, so I snatched up a bit:
I was going to cover a bench in this:
{on the left} but it seems I need just a bit more...I'm sure I'll find a use for it. Bottom line about this fabric store: If you live in or around Boston, I highly suggest taking a trip out to this place!
On my way back I stopped at Home Goods. Very Dangerous. All of my pics are from my phone on this journey...forgive me. But the pillows on the left are a bright orange.
I had the orange in my cart and then put them back after having a little talk with myself....
and I wanted to paint this mirror:
would love to reupholster this:
Anyway, I think we all know there are a ton of scores there!
Last stop was anthro. adore their Spring visuals...
ended up with this pitcher:
it was significantly on sale and I had been eyeing it for a while. love it.
There are hints in this post about this weeks series. I will be back tomorrow with week 2 and a small giveaway!
I love all the gorgeous fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention! I am so happy to hear that you loved Zimmans too. Wasn't it crazy big? I have no idea what took me so long to make it out there. It looks like you found great fabrics too! What a fun day!
ReplyDeleteSo big! I could spend a week in that store! Thanks again for posting about it!
ReplyDeleteLove the mirror. I would love it for my nursery (to be painted)!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have those orange pillows in my trunk right now from Homegoods. I bought them for a project that I'm working on!
I am going to have to get there! I am coming up to NYC/Boston in 2 weeks and would love to stop there! I know my mom would love it too.

ReplyDeleteThat's it. I am coming to Boston JUST TO GO TO THIS FABRIC STORE. I've searched and have thus far had no luck finding anything like this in or around Chicago. Need to put my detective hat on and get serious in my search. Love the vase!
