Add a little kick with pattern

I am always finding fabrics 

that I "have to have" 

somewhere in my home.

Many times, I buy fabric just 

because I love it 

...even if I don't think 

it will go anywhere in particular.

Once I get it home,

I usually have 5 or 6 places 

it can go so end up being 

torn about where to use it.

  

The key to using a loud fabric 

is to use it in the right 

place and in the right amount.

See example below

LOVED this polka dot material.

....Would never use it on a big

piece of furniture.

I did use it on my bench 

cushions in my kitchen...

shown in a previous post.

I don't like to use the same 

fabric twice but I this is 

what happens when you are 

so torn...

so I did also recover this

foot stool with it in the 

living room.

What I love is that this little piece

of furniture has a big impact.

It gives this corner the 

little kick 

it needed.

I topped off the 

brown and cream 

polka dots

with a brown and cream 

accent pillow 

to coordinate the two.

The nice thing is that 

when I get tired of 

these polka dots, 

I used it in a minimal way 

so it is easy to 

change in the future...

However...I think they 

will be here for a while.
