Hi Kristin,
Wondering if you have any favorite fabrics that would look good with yellow golds, greens and reds. I need some inspiration and your design style is just amazing! Thanks, Julia
As a matter of fact, Robert Allen just sent me some new fabric books containing their new Lifestyles Collection. In the Dockside book they had some great fabrics in that color palette. I threw the swimsuit and starfish fabric in because I think they are fun, although not applicable for all.

I recently just finished a project for a client that I've worked with for over three years. The Lilith fabric was the inspiration we used for the jumping off point. This was the last room in their home for me to decorate. I'm featuring the before and after of that room on Monday's post so be sure to check it out. The little swatch doesn't do this fabric justice so I'm showing the finished pillow to illustrate how pretty and happy it is. I am surely going to miss working with this family. They have been great clients. I think they have given me more referrals than any other client. How do you say "thanks" to that? So, thank you thank you Heather, Brad, Ainsley, and Preston. Look for the sun room Monday it turned out awesome.
I hope one of these fabrics inspires you, Julia.

Can’t wait for Monday to see the sunroom. Yes, that fabric is happy and I love the pillow!
Looks great!
Thanks Kristin! The fabric is lovely and fresh. I really like the Granny’s Quilt and the Lilith fabric. It’s happy, fun and has all of my favorite colors. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question and for the inspiration. Can’t wait to read your post on Monday!

Hi there Kristin, Love your decorating style. I have a question for Free Friday decorating advice. I am considering having Robert Allen’s Lilth fabric made into drapes for my family room. The windows and can accomodate the look. My one concern is that although it is a very ‘happy’ fabric I wonder if I will become tired of the look because of the busy nature of the pattern. You have this amazing print on a pillow which seems more practical. My style is traditional infused with some ‘wow’ factors that provide punch and personality. What do you suggest? Your fan,
