    La Fiorentina is one of my favorite patterns ever. I don't think it will ever go out of style. It is a classic in my book.

    This pattern became an instant classic. Have you ever tried to analyze the amazing lines of the pattern?
    I had really to look more then once to capture it fully. It 's amazingly beautiful!

    Miss Domino still!
    Great post!

    Love this fabric--so elegant but also quite fun in some of the bolder colorways.

    I remember it too. I also remember the day I was "cleaning out" and tore that first issue to shreds, only to keep my fav images. needless to say, I don't do that anymore ...

    okay, I saw this this morning during my morning blog read and now I can't get it out of my head. I may need to take the plunge.

    so funny... i just came across that domino cover yesterday and was thinking how much i still LOVE that fabric - especially in that colourway! i swooned over those stools at maison luxe for MONTHS. loved this post and i'm starting to think i'd better just get the fabric while i can and figure out what to do with it later!
