I need some ideas!

When I worked at JoAnn Fabrics in Orem, I vowed that I would never be one of those women who bought yards and yards and YARDS of fabric with out a project in mind! I worked with a woman who had a two bedroom apt. One room for her, one for her FABRIC. However, when I saw this fabric while shopping with my mom and sister, I could not help myself. It just reminded me of the 70's and I love all things retro! I'm pretty sure this doesn't go with any thing in my house and so I have two yards of this fabric and no project! Okay so its not quite a room full of fabric yet, but I just need to be cautious not to start spending money on fabric I don't need! :)


So any one have any great ideas? If you love it and it would work in your space, let me know! Maybe I'll surprise you with an accessory! Its a little more chartreuse in real life, this pic looks a little olive to me. You know you love it! How would it look best?

  1. Frame it! I've seen people wrap that cardboard that's in the back of frames and then put it back in with the fabric showing. It's a cool art piece and you don't necessarily have to cut the fabric if you're not ready to yet! :)

  2. I like the framing idea too. I see this as an excellent ottoman or little bench seat. Maybe get one of the in expensive cube bench seats from wal-mart and then recover the top. They sell them in different colors (black, green, pink, blue, etc.) I can send you a link if you want. xoxo

  4. Oh, apparently I am just full of ideas. There are also these great magnet boards that are covered in fabric on etsy, and I think this would make a great magnet board too. I think the shop on etsy is called Steeldreaming designs...

  5. Loving the ottoman idea!! I want to see if I can find an ugly one at the DI to recover. Then I'll have to sell it or something, because I don't have space! :)
