On Saturday I mentioned a big sale at
Silk Trading's Atlanta location (discounts are currently available online too). Their timeless linen-cotton stripes are among the bargains, so I thought it would be nice to look back at the upholstered settee in Mary McDonald's bathroom. When this ran in February 2009,
domino editors suggested
Silk Trading's pucker-y "Asusena." The seersucker I brought home last week, "Fusilli Stripe," is another great stand-in. Both are now available for around $15 per yard.
I won't be doing a big upholstered piece. Simple slipcovers for the seats of dining chairs (just a cozy table for two) are what I've got in mind. And inspiration for striped slipcovers
always comes from Suzanne Rheinstein.

LOVE the seersucker .... you have tempted me so I'm on my way over to the site (didn't realize it was on line too!) and aren't both of those ladies just the best? Thanks
Very nice! Can you imagine the bliss of floor-to-ceiling seersucker curtains?
Aesthete -- yes, I can!
Mary -- yes, they are!
Cool fun seersucker. Can't wait for you to get your peonies too!
Such a summery inspiration!
Captivated by the thought of curtains. Not to take away from the slip covers!
That image from Domino is the chicest thing I've ever seen. That floor, the seersucker, the dark window sashes. Love it, love it.
Hi~I am trying to hold up my jaw! I LOVE this sofa, not only the seersucker but the tufting AND the long skirt. It's all about the details. I love seersucker in clothing for anyone, any age & any sex! And, yes aren't our homes suppose to reflect us? Simply LOVELY! ...thank you for sharing.

I'm loving that seersucker-upholstered settee!

seersucker has amazing resonance for me - of a happy childhood and of my late mama. Thank you for reminding me of this lovely fabric and suggesting new ways of employing it.
