    where can I access the fabric on the right under casual elegance?

    Hi Linda. It depends which fabric. Many of the fabrics shown in this lens can be found in my website store at http://www.RestorationFabricsAndTrims.com and in our eBay store of the same name, but we also used photos of fabrics that are not listed on line. We have sold out of the toile in the picture you asked about, but have similar toiles and some yardage of the other fabrics in that photo. You can contact me privately if you are interested in ordering fabrics. Thank you for your interest and please let me know if I can be of assistance.

    This is great for giving confidence to play around with colour and design. Thanks so much. I move house in the summer and I will be needing that confidence.

    I love your fabrics and this vintage look. I have bought a French country farm house and love that rural look too. The Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau have long been favourites, but best of all I like the people that can put together junk and found objects and make them look like a million dollars.

    Very informative! Our house is so small that I've learned to save my prints for accessories and keep my big ticket items more nuetral. Great lens!

    Your lenses are such a feast for my eyes! I used to work in soft furnishings / interior decorating, and have an abiding love for textures and colours in home decor - and the ones in your lenses are utterly delectable !

    Fantastic decoration tips and useful information. I happen to be decorating our house and haven't done much since I'm afraid to spend a lot of money without beig really convinced of what colors or fabrics to choose.

    This is a very interesting page which I save on the computer so that I can come back over and over; I definitely appreciated the tips provided as well as noticed some designs that I like and want to make sure to associate the good ones.
