I know I may sound like a broken record but paint really can change anything and, sometimes, almost everything. The designer/blogger behind Making It Lovely showed just how powerful paint – as well as design skills, ingenuity, and time – can be when she transformed her bathroom. I mean, look at that floor!!!

Sourcing fabric is super hard. I know because I make clothes. Often you have a specific idea of what you’re looking for and then don’t always find it. Side note: I often think of different ways to use my sketches and photographs to design fabric. Anyone know where I can get velvet made in my design? Anyway, Emily Henderson did a round up of online fabric sources that would be good for upholstery and if you read the comments, you’ll see additional sources.
