Check out these great images of Chalkboard walls I found on the blog <a href="http://strawberry-chic.blogspot.com/2011/03/wall-decor-chalk-board-walls.html">Strawberry Chic</a>. I love this trend and think its a wonderful idea! But is it always functional?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorite would have to be the kitchen and dining room images. I especially like the flower detail drawn on the dividing wall in image 7. But what about the bedroom? It looks cute and stylish but is it livable? I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't want all that dust in my bedroom where I sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chalkboard walls seem great especially for restaurants where the menu is constantly changing but in the home it could be a disaster. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What does everyone else think? Do you like this trend? </div>

And last but not least, to stay true to our roots why not sew yourself a Garter Belt using an infamous Liberty of London's Scarf. This is probably one of my favorites.<br />
<br />
<i>Fun Fact</i>: 009. Fabric is sold in the fabric showroom at Liberty's of London.<br />

<br />
To get back into the swing of things I want to introduce everyone to this really cool lamp. It was designed by my professor at school, Shay Alkalay and his partner Yael Mer who own <a href="http://www.raw-edges.com/">Raw Edges Design Studio</a>. The lamp has been chosen as a finalist along with several other design for the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bright-ideas-competition/">Bright Ideas Competition</a>, sponsored by Philips.<br />
<br />
The lamp produces a playful approach to lighting through allowing the owner or designer to customize the light over time through removing and changing the shade. The outer fixture is made of cork to which a printed paper shade can be fastened. If you ever get tired of the design you can easily switch out the design for new colours, patterns and prints. And the cork is environmentally friendly!<br />
<br />
Make sure to go to the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bright-ideas-competition/">Competition Website</a> to vote on your favorite design.<br />

Its time for the Cushion of the Week. Check out this beautiful hand woven cushion by Sukan on Etsy.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
All of the pillows are covered with an antique Kilim, a kind of rug made from wool and colored with natural dyes. The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/70718526/hand-woven-turkish-antique-kilim-pillow">design above</a> is one of my favorites on the site, consisting of Anatolian and Middle Eastern Patterns. I love the vibrant colours mixed with the traditional print. </div>

Each cushion is unique so this is a great shop to check out if you are a sucker for one of a kind goods as I am. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sukan?ref=seller_info">Click here</a> to check it out and see all the designs for yourself. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37344443327279291.post-52577826597274586042011-04-09T14:48:00.000-04:002011-04-09T14:48:26.777-04:00Cushion of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I must admit I've been meaning to start this little weekly cushion showcase for quite some time now but always seem to get busy and loose my place. But today I have said no more excuses! So here it is...my first pick for cushion of the week on 009.Style.<br />

I absolutely adore these printed tables by the london based design company Kiwi & Pom. When thinking about prints &patterns its sometimes hard to think outside fabric and upholstery etc. But when applied to tables prints & patterns can also be beautiful. Plus its a nice compromise if you're not crazy about table cloths. Who knew?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I would love one of these for my kitchen table. How about you? Does anyone else know of some nice printed tables?

Im in love with these beautiful printed teacups. A must for any design savy fahionista looking for a way to add some character to the kitchen. {Bright Morning Teacups} $128.00 for set of four <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=974485&navAction=jump&navCount=">Anthropologie.com</a></div>

Don't hide them away in the cupboard either. They're way too beautiful. Why not try installing some open shelves and display them in all their glory? Here's an idea to get your creative juices flowing...</div>

To find brackets such as these seen in Country Living, look at your local architectural salvage yard. Beautiful reclaimed brackets from old buildings range anywhere from $65.00 to $150.00 for a pair and help to add character to your design. The only other materials you need are some mounting materials and a piece of plywood or a butchers block to lay across. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37344443327279291.post-12113496299337929072011-02-28T14:32:00.001-05:002011-02-28T14:38:25.100-05:00Kelly Who?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Although her blog is fairly new with only a few posts she has already filled it with inspirational images that are definately worth a look. Such as this one as seen below. To check out her blog for yourself <a href="http://myvibemylife.com/">click here!</a> Happy blogging!</div>

Liven up your coffee table with this lovely book from Ikea called <em>SY - Love for Textiles</em>. I realize sometimes Ikea gets a bad rep but its all about inspiration here. So why not check it out? Spring is coming and its time to get ready to add some new and vibrant prints into the home. </div>
<blockquote>
"This is not a book to read. It's a book to touch, to browse, to be inspired by and enthused about. Because textiles arent about sharp scissors and awkward sewing machines. They're about creative desire. So stop reading and step inside our textile world."</blockquote>
It's a beautifully bound hardcover consisting of 180 pages filled with inspirational photographs, tips and tricks to make your dreams a reality. And if fabric from Ikea isnt your thing, well then get inspired by the images but substitute the prints with some fabric by your favorite designer? 009. perhaps?<br />
<br />
What are some of your home decor dreams for the coming spring? <br />

Today im writing about an everyday object thats just a little out of the ordinary. I dont know about you but I like things that are unique, conversation starters, things people see and then stop to look at just a little bit longer.<br />
<br />
The Underfull tablecloth by Kristine Bjaadal from Norway is definately one of those objects. A beautiful tablecloth that at first appears to be just a standard white floral damask transforms to reveal a beautiful pattern with every slip of the hand. <br />
<br />
The idea is that some stains such as red wine or grape juice are hard to clean and can often leave traces of colour on the fabric even after several washes. With the Underfull tablecloth instead of throwing it away you can continue to use it as the traces of colour will have formed a pale pattern that will continue to grow over time. <br />
<br />
This tablecloth has gained significant recognition since Kristine first introduced the prototype to the design world and has been awarded several awards including the prestigious Blueprint Award at 100% Design London for Best Use of Material. <br />
<br />
Check out the video to see it in action:<br />

How cool is this? Imagine having this on the table during the holidays. What does everyone think? I know I can remember quite a few Thanksgivings when this tablecloth would have been great to have on the table. Can you?<br />

So I've finally just recieved the swatch page from the February 2011 issue off House & Garden showing 009 Textiles Leopard Pansy print front and center.
<br /></div><div align="left"><br />
I must say I love this layout. It works beautifully as a page. From an interior design point I would love to create a material board resembling this. I just love the depth from the shadowing giving it both depth and space.

With a new year comes new adventures and an anticipation of good things to come. I had been thinking about starting a blog for quite some time just never got around to it. So when Emilie O'Conner of 009.textiles asked me to start a blog for her company I was quick to say yes.
<br />
<br />
009.textiles is a fabric design company owned and operated by Emilie O'Conner from her studio in West London. Upon completing an internship with Emilie in July of 2010 I had developed a strong love for fabrics and the process it takes to complete a design from concept to finish. It truly is an incredible experience.
<br />
<br />
Having my degree in Interior Design I was taught to be familiar with flooring, fabrics and wallpaper but never really thought much of the design process behind them, always looking at the finished products instead and how I could best use them in a space.
<br />
<br />
This blog is dedicated to the design, production and love that goes into producing fabric. Over the course of the next year I will post anything and everything to do with fabric - pictures, prints, and trends and even ways to apply them to your everyday life in the hopes it will inspire you.

Heres to a New Year, New Adventures and New Designs!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
