Ivanka Trump's Park Avenue apartment

Brunschwig & Fils (Dzhambul)

Robert Kime fabric

our living room

I am getting ready to reupholster my two favorite chairs and I can feel the anxiety attack coming on now! When I choose a fabric it has to pass the I-love-it-and-can’t-get-enough-of-it-test! Just ask my husband the number of times he has heard, “But I don’t’ love it.” Yes, I know, there is medication for this type of behavior.

But when you consider the cost of fabric I want to know that I won’t have any regrets when I receive the monthly round of magazines in the mail.

I’ve gone back to my ‘style files’ for inspiration and the two things I can’t get enough of are Ivanka Trump's Park Avenue apartment, (originally decorated by Emma Jane Pilkington) and suzani inspired fabrics.

I am particularly fond of British decorator Robert Kime’s fabrics and of course there is the beautiful Dzhambul by Brunschwig & Fils. You can see one of the chairs on the left-hand side of the photo above. If you have any suggestions for other suzani inspired fabrics I would be most grateful.
