featured fabric (quick switch don't hate)....
okay, i know i totally teased you with the quadrille fabrics yesterday but after talking with the showroom, i had to make an executive decision...they have raised their fabric order to a 5 yard minimum...which is a lot to ask for a featured fabric over $100. however, if any of y'all are interested in one of the fabrics, i will gladly check their stock and if they happen to have it in stock, they will allow orders under 5 yards (and as always w/ a featured fabric, a discounted price will be given).OKAY, so with all of the chaos over with, now onto it's replacement (i hope y'all are just as excited).....Chaing Mai Dragon by Schumacher. it's a classic and it's been blogged about over and over again...and now, it can be yours....
Suggested retail price $206; featured fabric price $120: available in 4 colorways
for inquiries please email me at: shannon@shannondarbydesign.com. orders are placed through pay pal and the fabric will be shipped ups ground directly to your home (once your pay pal transaction has cleared). this sale will last until 10-04-09.

color restraint.....
layering neutrals are a perfect way to create a charming space for anyone struggling w/ color...but one of the keys is to be sure to mix light and dark elements to build that wonderful definition.

a simple grosgrain ribbon....
can quickly turn into a beautiful source of inspiration....some people think they are locked to a paint deck when trying to decide on a color palette for their interior, i think inspiration could be sitting right in front of you....
