Fabric of the Day: Amy Butler’s Lotus Design

September 20, 2009 by Morgan

Amy Butler, Fabric of the Day!

Today was such a wonderful lazy Sunday… I had much-coveted free time to enjoy the sun, sort & organize a closet in dire need of attention (always fun) and an opportunity to catch up with good friends over a delicious meal. Days where you get to spend your time on what you need or want to do are so very few and far between that when they come along surely it is the marking of a good day!

I came across this beautiful {very classy & modern} pattern this weekend while searching for a fabric for the backdrop of a bookshelf. There’s something about the floral zinneas/lotus that are both retro and tribal at the same time, and the structure of the overall pattern is clean and straight forward — but seeps of that modern, urban loveliness (Anthropologie-esq?). While I have always adored Amy Butler’s incredible feminine designs, this particular cherry wallflower fabric has stuck with me all weekend! I’m opting for a cooler shade of blue that will match my room for the bookcase, but this could happily find a space else where in my home! Check out all of Amy Butler’s FABULOUS designs by visiting her website here.

Guest Blog Interview: Head of the Table

Today’s featured Friday Guest Blog brings us all the way to St. Louis for a quick catch up with Kim, founder and entertaining stylist for Head of the Table! While her shop is just adorable (why oh why don’t we have a rental shop this chic and modern in my city??) it’s her creative blog/tablescape/decorating ideas that really make me swoon.

Her table tops and party ideas are exquisite — and I love that her first and foremost entertaining inspiration revolves around creating a delightful and appealing design and mood for her guests. I think you’ll love her answers to our four questions!…
