quaint handmade

use.jpg
after a pretty lousy day spent entirely on an airplane (who knew you could stay in a holding pattern over chicago for so long?) it was so fun to return to an inbox full of beautiful photos. the eye-candy that turned my frown upside down was this photo of cindy from quaint handmade’s cabinet that has been turned into fabric storage. i have a closet bursting with tiny samples of fabric so this is my dream. so neat and clean and pretty. i love it! [thanks, cindy!]

ps: alena has a new post up on the d*s guest blog- click here to check it out.

What a gorgeous presentation; I love that the patterns peek out of the drawer fronts! Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like the dresser is just a bit peachier than the pink wall — arrgh!

Oh wow, how neat and organised is that?! I just know I’d be able to keep it that tidy for… umm… all of about 5 minutes - LOL! Love all the fabrics too…

Wow, what a fantastic idea. I have rubbermaid totes of fabric, the depths of which I have not dived into in quite some time. This would make my fabric collection accessible and beautiful! Now just to find a cabinet with sliding drawers like this…

What a neat piece of furniture, made more unique by that incredible pink!

really nice.
reminds me of the color-arranged bookshelves we’ve been seeing over the last year or so.

Love the cupboard! Great colour and the fabrics are stunning too - it’s a piece of art in itself!

thank you everyone! and yes, there is a contrast between the cool pink wall against the warm pink cabinet, but i “choose” not to see it or i’ll have to paint entire the room ;)!

I think it would look worse if the two pinks were identical. Nice to have a little variation there!
