thanks to finnish d*s reader reka i found the carrie bradshaw fabric! now i need to find a place that has my color and enough yardage for bedroom curtains. it's vintage and pricey so this should be a task. anyway, while assuming it might be an ikea pattern as most people suggested i was browing ikea's fabrics and was LOVING them (the linen diamonds- so cool). so many great designs. check out above and below for some fantastic options. they're not available online so you'll have to snag them at a store near you (check for availability first) but some of them are fantastic and really worth a trip to what i like to call the swedish version of hell. tip: don't spend more than an hour in there, it starts to suck away your will to live. ac can testify, i go into ikea mode and am one comment away from a breakdown at any given point. enjoy!
i'm always happily surprised by how mice the ikea fabric is, both in patterns and the material itself. even better, it's so ridiculously affordable
ReplyDeletei needed 12 yards of plain beige linen to make some slipcovers. here at the fabric store in park slope it was $18 a yard. in ikea paramus it was $6 a yard.
good stuff. and you get to eat the meatballs
Cheap and chic, a perfect find. Thanks for the tip, great as always.
