There are times when I post things where I feel very, very late to the party. I feel this way about the fabrics from China Seas, which apparently everyone already knew were in existence and awesome. We’ve been looking at fabric every weekend. We drive up to Zimman’s in Lynn and paw through rows of different things to reupholster with and love every minute of it but we always seem to pick the same types of fabrics: ikat, stripes, and trellis / lattice prints. Low and behold we stumbled upon China Seas, not at the store but on One Kings Lane.
I tried to pick out just a few of my favorites from this collection but it got out of hand so I picked a few colors in a row from each that I loved…even though I sort of love them all. The above is called Java Grande and you can get these fabrics in indoor or outdoor suncloth.
Macoco II, above, I also love. It reminds me of some of the repetitive drawings I’m a fan of, just going back and forth, over and over with hashs like you’d find on a dodgeball.
I can’t stop myself from wanting these cool patterns all over – this seems Egyptian to me. Called, Ziggurat Reverse. I have no idea what I’d put it on but something tells me this reupholstery phase is far from over.
Maybe at our next house we’ll have outdoor space and we can get some groovy porch furniture outfitted with the above pattern, Aga Reverse.
Or this…Edo Grande. It’s alarming how much I like all of these. Maybe it’s the fact that we had dreary snow / sleet here in Boston yesterday and so I’m itching for some brightly colored somethings in my life again.
And Bali Hai to round this little snapshot out. Really though I would take any of the fabrics from this collection. I just poked around on Ebay and there are some remnants up there – hopefully I can get a hook up to get some yardage and make seat cushions. Our chairs are backordered til nearly May so I’ve got time!
