Fabric Windfall and a Vote

Morning.

I've discovered a little 're-invented' fabric heaven on Spoonflower the other day and feel like it's my duty to share...PS...I know some of you readers are morally against such budget friendly interpretations but don't hate the messenger/budget friendly seeker as they say;)

Say hello to...


This spoonflower seller finds inspiration from some of my/our favourite fabric designs and interprets them in her own way...meaning for mere pennies of the original and in a bevie of fabulous colourways...














These prints ring it at a whopping $18/yard...word.

Now the fun part.  

I want to re-upholster my poodle chairs and well, these beauts are in my budget.

I had originally thought of using B&F Les Touches but...$250ish/yard vs $18/yard...I think you know which one wins;)

I've found two patterns I like and want to put it to a vote.

You tell me which of these two choices you prefer, and I'll do it.

Choice A:


Choice B:


You've seen my living room before and since it's going to appear in glossy one of these days {wooooooooot,} I can't post more pictures but I know you know what we're working with here.

Here's a few bullet point reminders:

1. Black and white Ikea rug
2. Charcoal couch
3. Salt and pepper hide
4. Cream/black settee with grey/white pillows
5. Cream and pink curtain panels
6. Pink art...black/white frames
7. 2 cream chairs
8. Brass barfed up everwhere
9. KW agate pillows in pink and coral
10.  Pink walls

So basically, the foundation is black/white/cream and all the extra stuff is pink.

What say you then?

Chairs in pink palms or chairs in black and white dots?

You can also pick neither if you're so inclined;)

Choice 2!!! I am so obsessed with all versions of that fabric right now!

Viviana said...

I like choice A!

Jessica Rowe {The Aestate} said...

Amazing finds! I vote for B

Danika Herrick said...

I like both, but lean towards B with A as pillows somewhere.
I am now wanting to redo my entire house after seeing these fabrics and how cheap they are!

Janell @ Isabella and Max said...

WOW...good resource to know! Janell
p.s. B

Leah said...

I've been following this Spoonflower seller for awhile and she is fantastic! both are great, but I am loving choice A most right now! I know it will look fab, whichever one you choose.

J and V said...

Have to say the second fabric is my choice!!!! I live both but the 2nd one would be so amazing with some pink pillows with great trim- maybe Greek key..... Them I would use the first fabric as pillows. Great choices!!! Live Spoonflower!!!

Andrea said...

Hollis said...

I think the dots are safer for changes in the future. They would work with so many other things.

Brandi@ Flights of Whimsy said...

I would go with the black and white so that you could layer in on top with other colors and patterns.

Sharon@house58blog.com said...

Loving the pink palms.

Linda (@Deeeda) said...

I like both, but the pink is more eye-catching to me. It's unique.

Linda (@Deeeda) said...

Maybe with the black dotted as accent cushions on them! ;) (Although I'm not exactly sure what a 'poodle' chair is)

Nancy said...

I'd go with B, and maybe pillows in Pink Palm..
your room is sounding fantastic! Can't wait to see!

Sadie + Stella said...

Choice A. No question. It will be a nice contrast to the already black and white rug. Love your choices!

Gabrielle | Savvy Home said...

Pink Palms!! I mean if it was me, I'd choose the green palms... but since you're the queen of pink, I think the pink palms will look stunning on your chairs! :)

Aubrey {All Things Bright and Beautiful} said...

Ha! Like I would pick *neither* of those fabulous fabrics! You're funny (c: Y'know, they are both great and both would match, so it's not like you can go wrong. I definitely *LOVE* that B&W fabric and it will probably persist as "current" for longer...howev's...That pink palm is so unique and you know I'm never going to say no to more of pink in a room (c; You've got a tough decision, my friend...I'm so excited to hear which you pick!!! BTW, props to finding the ridic fabric source (c:

Pink Palms...all though the dots are incredible. It's just the pink palms are so unique and you are unique!

Lauren@BaylorSays... said...

Oh of COURSE I would instantly pick the dots...but the pink palms absolutely scream "Christine! She's bold, she's different and she's fabulously brilliant!" Don't you love it when strangers know you so well? :-)

Moral Schmoral...I love Spoonflower and have a few of those earmarked for future use, but alas there are a few I hadn't seen, so HUGE THANKS for sharing just gems. Hope all is well with you and your family..I've been so out of touch recently, but wanted to thank you on your nice comment about my sons nursery. xx Danielle

Danielle {freshquince} said...

Oops forgot to vote...I go for A, it's gorgeous!

Kim@Chattafabulous said...

In love with both options and will lose sleep over Option "A". I think for your space I would choose the Les Touches knockoff. In love with that as well.

I'm no help because I love them both! Although had to say I am thrilled by this discovery. I have their samples and now I am for sure placing an order.. these are fab!

CoryRenee said...

I'm loving B!

Sady said...

I would normally have recommended #2, but something is telling me to go with #1. So, I vote for the pink palms!

the Queen City Style said...

Nothing but love from this corner for that discount fabric! Thanks for the intro! xo

RealtyqueenTO said...

Great fabric finds! My choice is B for the chairs and do accent pillows with colors from choice A to match all the accent pink you have already!

Manal said...

It's a really tough call but I'm going to say..................................................................................................................................................................A. There we go, I've said it now. I can't take it back - no second guessing. I'm going to close my browser now and step away from the voting. :p
