Dining Room Fabric



Just thought I would pop in really fast to show you the first piece of fabric I painted for the dining room.

Oh wait, I forgot, the original post I posted Thursday and it is still not back after Blogger's meltdown. Some of you may have NO IDEA what I am talking about...

For those who missed the post, I wrote about wanting to bring the coral color into the dining room again by reupholstering the seat cushions on my dining room chairs.



I have decided I like the Malabar Ikat from Ballard Designs.



However, it is back-ordered until July and I do not want to wait that long. So I have decided to paint my own.

I am using Simply Screen, Water-based Screen printing paint.



cream linen fabric and a stencil I created in photoshop.

The first piece is finished and I think it is going to work beautifully. I have three pieces to paint, so I will share the final reveal on Wednesday.

Here is a sneak peak...





I apologize for the terrible pictures, trust me...it looks much better in person :).

Well, I'd better jump back to it, wish me luck!

    Hi Elizabeth...thanks for visiting my blog. I followed you back here and what a delight! Your fabric is incredible...I just ordered a swatch from Calico Corners of a navy Ikat and can't wait to get it. In fact it's very much like your blog background! Looking forward to seeing your chairs all finished...have a great week! ~Ann

    OH my gosh, I want to create a stencil!! That is genius. I wish I had a better grasp of photoshop. I know how to make mood boards, but that's about it.

    It looks so so good!
