Mrs Howard and fabric envy

I was about to do a post featuring some of the stunning rooms I've been studying in detail from Phoebe Howard's new book "The Joy of Decorating" which I bought on Amazon recently and have been devouring over the weekend. I highly recommend it, not just for the sheer perfection of the rooms she designs, but the advice and information she gives about decorating too is worth every penny.

I think she really is my all time favourite designer, and while they are many others I adore and admire the work of and whose rooms I love, I think when it comes to my home and kind of look and feel I ultimately want, nothing beats her classic style for me.

Oh ok, here's a taste.......

I have also been doing my head in trying to pick fabrics over the weekend too. I still have things to finish in all our bedrooms, the kid's bathroom blind, and the living areas. I just keep going round in circles and getting more confused. I have an identity crisis when it comes to my style at the moment which is why I'm studying books to try to reconnect with my inner decorating voice and trust my instincts. Hard to do when you're 7 months pregnant I've discovered. I'm currently on a mission to "pretty" up my house, no doubt part of the pregnancy nesting hormone, but I feel things aren't pretty, colourful, classic, traditional or feminine enough and I'm trying to soften the look.

Which leads me to the this post because I just got this email from Sherry at Design Indulgence blog, and this is the kind of thing that gives me complete America envy and why there's no excuse for everybody in the US not to have a gorgeous looking house! It's so accessible and inexpensive.

Then I see photos like this, from a regular retail fabric shop in Atlanta called Lewis and Sheron, and it kills me that you can just go to a shop and have this kind of huge choice available to buy then and there and for about $25/m on average. You could decorate a room in about 5 minutes and on budget then get on with your life! You don't even have to know anything about decorating, have good taste or a sense of style or any clue at all, because it's all done for you. Fabulous, current, contemporary, on trend, coordinating, reasonably priced fabrics by the dozen. You could be colour blind not go wrong!

How amazing would that be if we could shop like this here! Imagine how much you could achieve in a day if this was possible! My mind boggles. I could get back the past 1000+ hours spent on the internet, in fabric shops and showrooms, driving all over Sydney and surfing all over the globe looking for pretty, coordinating fabrics for our house if I could have access to this kind of choice in one spot.

Anyway, back to Phoebe Howard tomorrow.
