i just found this blog. so lovely. i love the window seat! i want to build a similar bookshelf/window seat downstairs in our house and in our bedroom, but my husband is a bit freaked out. ah well.
Wow- you were busy this holiday weekend! Great selection of fabric, and a fun project for your beach house!
Wonderful sharp pictures revealing a genius at work. Am very pleased with what deferred maintenance has accomplished.
Those are fabulous! Could you possibly share the source of your fabrics? Thank you for the inspiration.
I picked up most of the fabrics at Purl in SoHo the last time I was in New York, some came from Stone Mountain and Daughter in Berkeley, and a few from various online sources – if you’re interested in a specific one let me know and I’ll try to source it for you!
