Carnival Fabric in Green

… to Christopher Farr Cloth for creating outdoor textiles so pretty that you’ll want them indoors. This Carnival pattern was first seen on the cover of Vogue Living back in 2009, and then, of course, in Jeffrey Alan Marks‘ bedroom.

Using fabrics that will withstand a summer of wet suits and suntan lotion is a must in our house – even if we don’t have a pool in the back yard!

I always thought green and blue were so great together and so summery. I can’t believe this is outdoor fabric, I remember when the choice was just stripes…now that’s progress! & I just have to mention that rowboat, what a sense of humor!!

There’s that dumb row boat again, I would be scared to sleep under that thing! And oh! Vogue living..rip, snif, snif! That fabric is SO beautiful, great eye! The fabric at the foot of our bed bench is a MESS! Wish we would’ve thought to have done that!

Such a gorgeous fabric! I love indoor/outdoor fabrics for inside-I just ordered Trina Turk fabric for indoor/outdoor and love it!

Fabulous fabric! It’s stunning indoors and outdoors! I’m a huge fan of using outdoor fabrics inside the home…they withstand a family, a dog, suntan lotion and sandy bottoms!

I am transfixed on that Vogue Living cover! I don’t have a pool in my backyard…yet 🙂 We hope to have one by next year. Yes, nothing is worth looking good if it can’t be user friendly and look good after it’s been used!! XO, Kelly
