So Fab.

It is no secret that I love fabric.  It can transform a room, tie elements of design together or add a much needed pop to any space. Thankfully, in this age of technology, our fabric options are endless thanks to online fabric stores.

One of these awesome fabric stores is U-Fab, a locally owned place in Richmond that just launched their own e-store.


They have a great selection of fabric and trim, and their site is super easy to navigate. Sometimes I find it overwhelming to hunt down a fabric I have in mind, but not on their site.  There you have the option of searching by 1) color, 2) fabric use or 3) pattern.  I was able to zero in on exactly what I was looking for. {And if you aren't sure what you want, you can view all fabrics and take a look at everything they have to offer!}

I've been smitten with this gorgeous geometric print fabric for quite some time, so it was about time I brought it into my home.  I knew it'd be perfect for some pillow covers for our master bedroom.  I love that the beautiful pattern is reversible!


 I made my envelope pillow covers using this tutorial.  First, I cut my pieces to size.


Then I pinned and sewed my end seams.


Then I pinned and sewed my side seams.


And then I was done!  Easy-peasy.  I just had to flip my pillows right-side-out, and use something pointy {I had a screw driver laying around} to fully pop the corners out.  I love the bold statement in makes in our room!



Anyone else have a pattern obsession that you just can't forget about!  That means only one thing...you should head over to U-Fab and bite the bullet.  You won't regret it! :)

Major side note...I'm starting the Whole30 program today.  I know I rarely talk about personal stuff here on the blog, but I'm mentioning this as a way to hold myself accountable.  Let's hope I survive the next month! ;)

Main/Guest Bathroom Curtain.

I finally got around to sharing our {winter-ish} living/dining room curtains, and now it's time to show you guys the window dressing we made for our main/guest bathroom.  I absolutely love the geometric pattern on this fabric, and I especially love how it plays well with the thick stripes painted on the walls.

Momma dukes and I made this one the same way we created the curtain for the kitchen window.

I really think it adds a little something that was lacking in this space.  I tried searching for a picture of the window straight on, but I couldn't find anything.  I'm assuming it was because the picture would have been ridiculously boring, so I decided to spare you guys.  Here is the best "before" of the window that I could find...


And as I warned you in my previous curtain post, these pictures aren't the greatest.  I just can't take a picture of a window on a sunny day...the brightness, the colors are off, it's just a mess.  But work with me people!





I'm a huge fan of how this turned out!  And we even added a few more little touches to this space over the holidays {I'll share soon}, so this bathroom is finally starting to feel "finished"...after only a year HA!
