Fabric Selection



So here is how the thought process goes! First u love colors, then you work with what you have and then you go and look at fabric! If you haven't ever visited SR Harris in Osseo, it is something to behold. I think a helicopter would be helpful as the rolls of fabric goes for what seems like miles! Went in there completely open to fabrics and patterns and colors as long as it wasn't brown. Guess what, i bought brown! Ah well, so much for preconceptions. The big bold graphic print is chenille and just fabulous, very well made, this will cover the two couch/bed areas which will really brighten it up. The more subdued stripe in the middle will be the dinette and then the smaller pattern will cover the bed over the drivers area. This will allow us to really get funky fun with paint colors and countertop treatments i think. The new countertop will get edged in stainless steel, have been researching painting laminates and relaminating them. Any suggestions on tops, paint or wall treatments are welcome! I also threw out modge podging the counters...everyone keeled over at the thought! HA! A good friend Kerri forwarded me this link http://www.lileks.com/institute/interiors/BHG/index.html and after looking at it, figured i can't go wrong can I compared to what they did back in the day!
