Privet, Felicity!

Description

Despite me being a quilter and my mother owning a fabric store, I couldn't for the life of me find anything I liked (or could afford).   That was until I saw the "Little Kukla" line from Suzy Ultman. . . . **swoon**   I am such a nerd, I actually wrote her a letter proclaiming my ultimate fan status to her work.  She never responded.  Hahahah.

 

Design Inspiration

The onion dome print that I used in the drapery panels was my launching point.   I thought of cold winter days in Moscow, St. Basil's Cathedral, onion domes, and matryoshkas.

Decorating Style

Eclectic, inexpensive, quirky, whimsical

  11. St. Basil’s Cathedral is really beautiful and it’s wonderful of you to choose it as a theme. Perfect for a colorful space!
