Chair Fabric

I ended up painting our dining room a dusty blue, and I'm desperate to find a fabric similar to this. I love the way the zebra looks against the wall color, but it is hard to find animal prints that aren't cheesy and are in the colors I want, which are cream and chocolate. Most of them are black and white. Patton suggested I look for a brindle boxer stripe, but I haven't had much luck there.

I like that one a lot, can you find that somewhere around here?

I love it! I really want to do zebra in some form or fashion in the "dorm room" some day. I told Will that a little part of me dies inside at the thought of not having a zebra chair somewhere in our home.

I don't know, it says it is linen which I'm not sure will work. I doubt it is heavy enough. I could order a swatch and try though!

I think you need some zebra too Sherry!

Oh yeah, I remember that now. I would try it, it's good that your fabric now is light enough, that it might work even if it's a little lighter than upholstery fabric. Sherry, you need to tell Will that's just another part of being a girl, we have to have zebra.

We should get Sherry a giant zebra...like the giant animals your dad bought you growing up Em. I bet Will would LOVE that.

I totally agree with everything both of you are saying! How can I claim to be proud of my West Texas heritage and not have both zebra and feathers as the foundation for my home decor?

Would Cocoa and her kitten work in your dining room, Elicia??

Elicia said...

Hi Elicia- what a cute blog! You can get some really awesome zebra stuff at Pottery Barn right now! I'm working there part-time for the summer until school starts and they have some awesome stuff that would match that fabric almost perfectly.
