Fabrics First!!
by Haus of BlaylockI am madly in love with fabrics!!! I get so excited when I am selecting fabrics you would think I just found out that the book I wrote made the New York Times bestseller list.
Well, it is kind of like writing a book. I have to draw you in from the beginning then I have to give you the good stuff in the middle so the fairytale ending will come true and leave you breathless.
I believe that every design job should start with FABRICS FIRST. I work tirelessly to find fabrics that are not in the mainstream marketplace so that I can offer my clients something unique for their design style and project.
My VERY favorite thing to do when designing a home is to select all the fabrics for the home. It tells the tale of what is to come. I call it my see (eyes), touch (hand), feel (heart) philosophy. Today was one of those great days in my design world. I have been gathering and selecting fabrics for the past few weeks, and today, I put them all together and picked my very favorites. Here’s a little video of the “cut.” Tomorrow is going to be a fun day presenting to my clients. I’m living the design dream:)
My philosophy is to start and base every design decision around the fabrics. It is my inspiration for every decision that I make. When selecting the fabrics at the beginning, I create each room’s color palette, the pattern and type of fabric develops the style, and comfort of the home. Everything from the granite and tiles to the paint and flooring will be selected to coordinate with the fabrics. Doing this will ensure that the home will flow beautifully, and the client’s design dreams come true!
