Oh here we go again…this happens often…i almost hate to say anything..its a good thing, making style affordable and all but frustrating maybe to some if they just spent $$$ on custom drapes or bedding of upholstery from Calico Corners for this fabric only to turn around and find it popping up everywhere, like target.com everywhere.

Here it is above in a pretty Calico Corners styled photo with trims and coordinating fabrics. I really like the blue accent fabric they show with it.  But honestly I have seen the Silsila pattern cheaper at House Fabric..like $12 cheaper and on other sites, so shop around.  BUT Calico does offer services not just fabric and that is attractive to many. So if you need full service, Calico Corners is good to consider.

above again from Calico Corners…very pretty indeed..i love the blue chair and trim on drapes, not a fan of the ottoman fabric but nice overall.

BUT  now this is available at Target.com..cute and really inexpensive and a bit younger feeling maybe (some may say cheap..you really don’t know until you see this in person??) but the SAME FABRIC?

I also like this from target.com

But honestly i think if i was going for this look or wanting to use the fabric i would order it here and do panels out of it…maybe pair with a solid chair..you could easily do a high low thing with a nicer more expensive white or gray or blue sofa and yellow or green chairs,  get the target chairs for placeholders..just a thought. Something like the design board below…so the idea is splurge on a nice sofa from Lee  (Lee Industries..my fave sofa), do that pretty accent fabric on pillows from Calico Corners. Gourd lamp from Ballard..maybe paint an old dresser in Reef Red from Benj Moore to hang flat screen over???? Pretty tray and coffee table books..voila!

For art you could frame prints from Campbell’s Melange now available on Ruby Lane… in nice gold simple frames and mats!

I love Melisse’s prints..she has such a selection and quality and varying price points. She is going to be selling more on Ruby Lane and maybe even here on my blog so stay tuned on that..exciting!

But back to fabric,  what do you think..would you use the Silsila Curry fabric on drapes or go for the fun chair in the print??? 

 {FYI, they also make a pink colorway of this cute fabric!}

Bottom line, regardless of where things are sold or the price,  i love to mix styles and price points to get a pulled together but collected and not too styled or stuffy look, don’t you agree? Whether you use a little or a lot of a popular print or any print you love, enjoy…fabric is fun!
