The porcelain-skinned, auburn-haired Julianne Moore and this gorgeous photo were the inspiration in my search for fabric last evening. Having just painted our hallway a beautiful shade of grey, I am now quite obsessed by this color.
Perhaps it's because it pairs so well with many different colors and it can go from soft and subtle to dark and dramatic. I have always loved the color red, but only in moderation. In our previous home I painted our dining room red and I hated it, even though I LOVE it in other peoples' home. I then papered over the red walls of the dining room in a red and cream toile and loved the results. For me I needed the cream to soften the red tones. I think a red and grey combination is quite stunning and I especially adore the Schumacher fabrics below.
Let's Dance - Appliqué and embroidery give a modern geometric pattern a handcrafted look. The bold colors from a graphic black and white combination.
Squiggle Velvet - Sinuous curves form a bold ogee pattern in this viscose velvet and cotton fabric.
Moonpennies - A stunning metallic grey from the Avant-Garde collection.
Beckman Counterpane Embroidery - A charming embroidered cotton inspired by a linen needlework counterpane (bedcover) in Colonial Williamsburg’s archive collection.
