Yesterday afternoon was one of those deeply satisfying days where a house truly starts feeling like a home. J and I headed over to Fairfax Fabrics on Magazine Street for a long-awaited appointment with Patricia to hunt down fabrics and trims for our upcoming window treatments, a cozy window seat, and a custom shower curtain.
There is something endlessly inspiring about pulling bolts of cloth, feeling textures, and watching patterns come alive under good lighting. While perusing the endless selections is a dream in itself, having Patricia’s expert eye in the room made all the difference in turning a sea of options into a cohesive design vision.
By the time our session wrapped up, we had made some serious progress and nailed down selections for four key spaces:
Living Room: Settled on both the primary window fabric and trim, along with a perfectly complementary fabric for the living room window seat.
Dining Room: Chosen a stunning fabric and trim pairing to set the mood for future dinner parties.
Guest Bathroom: Selected the fabric and trim for a custom shower curtain that brings just the right touch of warmth to the space.
Guest Bedroom: Instead of starting from scratch, we are repurposing the beloved drapes from our current sunroom. To accommodate the higher ceilings at the cottage, Patricia helped us select a gorgeous bullion fringe that will elongate the panels with a rich, deliberate finish.
Master Bathroom: Luckily, I am also able to reuse the current shower curtain and Roman shade for the bath in the new home.
Kitchen: Fabric for the kitchen cafe' curtain was also selected.
Piece by piece, the vision is coming together. I hope you will continue to follow along as we transform and refresh so many corners here at Oak Branch Cottage!
