Fabulous Fabrics in Design
kmills
Fabrics are just fabulous aren’t they?  And I have to admit that I was just overwhelmed with excitement as a little girl each time my grandmother shared with me her latest fabric purchases in her back room that she planned to use for creating dresses or bedding.  I didn’t realize it as a child but I was so fortunate to have a closet full of custom made dresses that were one of a kind.
 
And speaking of fabrics, this upcoming Sunday at 10am on Living Large design show, we’re discussing fabrics in interior design with one of my favorite southerners, top rated designer Bill Stubbs and host of A Moment of Luxury on PBS network , who’s going to share some of his favorite fabrics for upholstery and window treatments.

We’re also talking with design legend and former White House design consultant Carleton Varney of Dorothy Draper & Co about his favorite fabrics and a current project he’s working on.   The founder of his firm, Dorothy Draper,  was best known for her glamoruous style and for starting the first commercial interior design company.
