SCHUMACHER

Y'all I am losing it. Or just not paying attention. I posted the same picture on Instagram one month apart.....not even remembering.....saying practically the same thing.

Crikey.....next thing you know I'll be posting about broken toilets. Might be time to hang it up.

Oh well....#oldpeople

I was at the Mart yesterday soaking in all the pretty merchandise..... none of which I need by the way. But.....surely I have a client that could use something.....that's my story. And of course....running into my design friends is always a plus. Pictures coming Monday.

On to design.....I got an email from Schumacher about some new fabrics and trims....

First up is this tone on tone damask....which I am already in love with!

This boho style pattern is pretty snazzy.....

More boho

This one has a raised crewel pattern on it.

Some pretty trims....

This wallpaper....

Also in the article was this picture....

This is Nancy "princess" Pyne....and....yes my favorite pattern from Schumacher is named after her. Her home was designed by Albert Hadley who it's said had sourced this iconic pattern from England in the 1960's.

Apparently she was downsizing in 2008 and enlisted Mr. Hadley to help with her decorating again. The upholstery was in need of recovering and since the original patterned chintz was no longer in production they did it in a stripe. She never liked it. Don't blame her.

Schumacher reached out to her in 2008 and she gave then a few leftover swatches. They recreated the pattern....and bam....Pyne Hollyhock was born!
