I finally received the fabrics that I ordered, for our bedroom, from Amazon. They were.... well, not quite what I expected.
This is the first fabric that I ordered: 54'' Wide Swavelle/Mill Creek Apolima Bayside Teal
This is what I received: Not at all what I was expecting. I wish that I could say its the photo color that's distorted, but its not. What is described as teal turns out to be a smokey blue. In the picture above there appeared to be more color variation, but in reality, nope not at all.
Something else that I failed to note in the description on the website was the faint line of gold running throughout the fabric. I'm not a fan of it in the least bit.
This is the second fabric that I ordered: 54'' Wide Premier Prints Paisley Chocolate Fabric
This is what I received: Again not quite what I was expecting. The "kiwi" color is actually an olive green and the "turquoise" is more like teal.
This fabric I may use in my living room since my ceiling is painted the exact same shade of green.
So unfortunately, neither of the fabric will spark a jumping off point for out bedroom. What's a girl to do? Go searching through the house for inspiration, of course.
I was not left disappointed. I found this fabric. Its actually a table runner from our dining room. I love it and it has all the colors that I want to incorporate in our bedroom.
I adore the hint of yellow.
So the search continues. But what I can tell you is that I will no longer be ordering fabrics off the web.Guess I'll be taking a drive to the fabric store (with table runner in tow)... the closest one is about 30 miles away.
Till next time.
