Before Birch. After Birch.

I love a before and after photo. Of anything really. Renovations, botox, weight loss….

So, here’s a little chair that’s actually gained weight and style. I picked this up ages ago on eBay for $3.50 and had it reupholstered in Lara Cameron’s Birch print in Dusty Pink fabric. I’m really pleased with it!
It looks great in my baby daughter’s bedroom, especially matched with these gorgeous fabric wall stickers from Love Mae (I used the tree with the birds and positioned it so the longest branch stretches over her cot).
Mae: I DO love you!

New Ink & Spindle Fabrics

I’ve recently added these new Ink & Spindle colourways to the store. The Lace Fans at the top is a lovely new design in black on a natural hemp and organic cotton blend. We’ve had the ginkgo and birch designs printed in these new colourways: a gorgeous contemporary dusty pink and very deep inky blue. I’m really pleased with how they’ve turned out.
I particularly love the dusty pink colourway (and I’m not a particuarly ‘pink’ person). I’m having a chair for my daughter’s room covered in the Birch Dusty Pink and will post photos when it’s done.

Yesterday’s Fibre, Today’s Fashion

We have these gorgeous new fabrics from the Ink & Spindle studio now available in the store. They are hand-printed in Melbourne on either a linen/cotton blend or a hemp/organic cotton blend. These natural fibres work so well with hand-printing and really add to its textural appeal.

I’m going to use the red Wrens print and red Bloem print to cover three canvases to hang in our hallway (wrens in the middle and a bloem on either side). I’ll show the results when they’re done.
