Saturday Shopping- Spotlight Eades Discount Wallpaper and Fabric

Today I am giving away one of my best kept secrets, Eades Discount Wallpaper and Fabric; my source for everything pretty and somewhat hard to get (if you are not a designer.) The company carries a huge selection of high end wallpapers and fabrics, which they sell directly to the public at wholesale prices.  Their manufacturer list is very long and there are few lines they don't carry.  Eades ships worldwide and does free online quotes 24/7, which I have found to be VERY handy.  Here is a small sampling of the very stylish companies represented by Eades.

My plan of attack for fabric and wallpaper usually goes something like this.  I start by going to trade only showrooms and finding the pattern(s) I like.  Many designer showrooms won't allow you to borrow or purchase samples so at that point, I log onto my computer and head to Tangletree Interiors in the UK; here you can order as many samples as you like for 1 GBP a piece, which works out to about $1.60/sample- their delivery service is great and the samples usually arrive within a week (their speciality really is wallpaper though, so I am still on the hunt for a great fabric sample source.)  After I make a firm decision,  I call up Eades and order away.  For us 'hope to be designers one day' it really is a pretty good system.

PS- Starting your day with a peruse of ebay can get a girl into trouble- my credit card hates ebay. Here are some beauties I found this morning.

Am I totally nuts for wanting those pink velvet dining chairs?   I adore the white chairs in the center with the scroll woodwork and the chrome x-stools might just have to come home with me.  I also have my eye on that set of gold faux bamboo cutlery- quite lovely.  The 80s clear phone rocks and I would love to rip the tassel off of that divine pink bench- it would look super in my master bath with some towels resting comfortably on top.  Let me know if anything tickles your fancy and I will forward the link.

Happy shopping everyone!
