I am loving Textiles Thursdays.
What is better than peeking inside other bloggers’ homes?
I was SO happy when Cassie from Hi Sugarplum agreed to participate.
If you haven’t had a chance to spend time at Hi Sugarplum, you are missing out.
Cassie is full of style, spunk, and wit.
I wish I was half as funny as her…
Hello, I’m Cassie from Hi Sugarplum! I’m thrilled to be taking part in Textile Thursday! I love the series, and am a big fan of Danielle.
I’m pretty new to the fabric scene, and before blogging, all I ever knew was Hobby Lobby! Now I’m familiar with many more fabric resources, but I still tend to stick with the inexpensive ones. Mostly because they fit my budget, but also so I don’t feel guilty when I want to change them out!
One place I love to put fabric, is in the backs of kitchen cabinets:
I loved this fabric so much I made a No-Sew Table Runner out of it! (Because even though I love fabric, this girl doesn’t sew! Hopefully someday.)
I recovered this hit-with-the-ugly-stick tray in a pink cross-section….and have plans to put the fabric in the back of the living room bookcases as well.
One of my favorite fabrics in the whole house is actually one I’d have never chosen on my own (it’s an inherited chair). I love the clean simplicity of the color, but the nubby texture gives it so much interest. And pretty much any throw pillow looks fabulous on it!
These pillows get the most comments from visitors in my house…they pack such a fun punch against the blue couch. And thanks to retailers like Target, we regular folk can afford high style like Dwell Studio!
(Expertly karate chopped by me!)
Most of the fabrics in my house right now are actually swatches. Little pieces I carry from room to room, while devising a plan. Here’s what I have and where I’m thinking of incorporating them:
My daughter’s new Big Girl Room will be getting some fun fabrics as well. Follow my progress at Hi Sugarplum!
Thanks for having me, Danielle!!
I think we are textile sisters.
I have several of the same fabrics floating around my home.
I am so excited to see her daughter’s bedroom complete, it is going to be amazing!
thanks again Cassie!
Really digging the chair and kitchen cabinets! Great ideas!
I meant *tray* not chair 😉
Totally loving those cushions! So fab!

Great fabrics Cassie! Love the ones you are eyeing for the living room.
I love Cassie’s use of bright colour and pattern. The cushions are all fabulous and those ideas for future projects are fantastic. Beautiful!!!
Love Textile Thursdays! Such a great series and Cassie’s fabrics are gorgeous. So bright and colorful.
Love Cassie’s fabric choices! You don’t often inherit a piece of furniture that you don’t have to change a thing.
Fun series for sure! And Cassie, I have the floral living room swatch as well. How funny.
Cassie so many super ideas, even the little tray, perfect, oh and the table runner, (I no longer sew either)!
Danielle Thank you for featuring her!
Come and join my amazing Giveaway from Splenderosa!

cassie always picks such great and spirited textiles. i love the chair with that pop of pillow… awesomeness!
Seriously, Cassie, did I never see the fabric in your cabinets??? It’s amazing! Brilliant idea. Great guest, Danielle (duh) she is totally amazing…obviously I don’t have the biting wit that Cass has! (c:
All so bright and fresh!!
Danielle — thanks so much for having me…and forcing me to look at my house through a textile eye. And of course in true fickle fashion…I’ve already changed directions from the Living/Dining Room inspiration! yay for swatches and $7/yard fabric!
Cassie is so stylish! I love all her picks!
I love all of thr fabric choices! And I am also a huge fan of Dwell Studio’s pillows and quilts at Target! I plan on doing our guest room with some of their stuff. Great post, Danielle! I can’t wait to check out Cassie’s blog. Please check out my series on virtual design magazines!
So pretty! I do love those yellow pillows! I did something similar and backed my bookshelves in my bedroom with a pretty graphic fabric. Totally transforms a space!
I have a major weakness for fabrics. That was a great post.

PS I am not a DIY (although I read ALL the blogs) but I just used expensive useless, remnant fabric from a design job ($120/yd) on a bulletin board and I love it.
Those are all great fabrics! And I love that they are budget friendly too.
Target always has great pillows. Dwell certainly knows how to make it budget friendly.

Love all the fun fabrics- they suit Cassie perfectly!
