I have found myself in this situation with the Princess' bedroom. I knew exactly what I wanted. I searched high and low. I looked in multiple fabric stores, I searched all over the internet. I can't believe it doesn't exist somewhere, but it doesn't.
So I decided to try out this website that I heard about early on in my blogging experience, put on my must-try list, but never actually got around to trying. And at this point, I want to tell you all that I am not affiliated with this website nor are they compensating me in any way for this post. I just want to tell you all about a great little tool for DIY decorators. Spoonflower.com. Love it. At Spoonflower.com you can actually create and purchase your own fabric. And there's no minimum yardage requirement. Seriously.
So I set to work designing exactly the fabric I wanted for the Princess' bedroom. But then, I admit, I got a little bit carried away. It's so fun! I designed a bunch of different fabrics...in a bunch of different colorways. And then I had a dilemma, because I looooved them all. So I picked my favorite two patterns for her room and had samples printed. And I love them both. And she loves them both. And sheesh! I could have at least pressed them before I took the photos, huh?
We actually decided, however, to reverse the colorway on one of them and use it. But, because I'm a tease, I'm not going to tell you which one. You'll just have to wait and see. I just know you're all on pins and needles now, right? Oh, and that orange one? I have some fun plans for it as well!
The only problem is, now that I have discovered how easy it is to design fabric at Spoonflower, my mind is spinning with projects that I can design my own fabric for. My to-do list is growing by the second. Lol!
Have a great day, my lovelies~

Okay. So I hate to acted like an insane woman. (not really, lol) I am so excited about this new find!!!! I just placed my first order AND I will be using this fabric on a cabinet redo that I have been blogging about. I haven't been able to start the redo, because I just couldn't find just the right fabric to jump start the project. THANKS again! I really appreciate it.
How NEAT!! I'm definitely going to have to check this out for when I get around to recovering our wingback chair.

So clever! Just imagine the colour combinations that are possible. Thanks so much.
Your fabrics are just gorgeous, and I love Spoonflower! I've met the husband and wife team behind it and they are just lovely people all around.
That's awesome! Are your fabrics available for purchase? I am looking for orange and white like what you pictured here.

First - thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful and sweet comment you left for me yesterday. It meant so much to me.
Second - ahhhhhh! Don't tell me about this. Now of course, I am going to want to head on over to their site and fall in love and have another addiction. And I am supposed to be working right now. Haha! Can't wait to see what you do with everything!
Love it! I've been meaning to try that out myself. Now that I have your approval, I'm going to give it a shot!
I LOVE Spoonflower. Ashley @ Handmade Home got me hooked. :) :) Love your fabrics.
This is super-fantastic!
I totally need to do this for a rug that I want to make!
Thanks for the inspiration (I especially love the one with the orange geometrics--super cool!).
