I just received my fabric samples from Of the Young and the Restless the other day, and I must say that I was quite pleased. The linen and linen/cotton blend fabrics have been rendered in such vibrant hues: chartreuse, mauve, peach, and blue. And the prints are charming too. I think my favorite combination is "Birdhouse" and "Saffron"- they're gorgeous when placed together. But then again, the "Houndstooth" is nice as well. If you're one who changes out duvet covers, slip covers, and pillows each season, then you really might want to consider this line with Spring and Summer approaching.
I dealt with one of the company's owners when I ordered my samples, and she was a joy to work with. Bottom line- if you're a fan of prints from lines like Lulu DK and Quadrille, then I think you'll really like Y&R fabric.
From top to bottom: "Birdhouse" in Colonial; "Saffron"; and "Thorny Rose" in Honeymoon
Clockwise from top left: "Jellyfish"; "Houndstooth" in Mauve; "Woodgrain" in Old Money"; and "Woodgrain" in New Money

It is a great combination!! I would love to see more of "Birdhouse" and the "Saffron"is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm strangeley charmed by the woodgrain prints. Can't quite figure out how I'd use them, though.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun with these. I especially like the Birdhouse/Honeymoon/Thorny Rose mix :)
ReplyDeleteI love the woodgrain pattern. Tom Scheerer and Jeffrey Bilhuber used something very similar to cover a screen in a loggia; supposedly, Billy Baldwin had designed the fabric in the 1950s.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful. I wish I could see the repeats, especially of the charming prints in the first photograph. They look so charming and fun. But I think what I really want is sofa covered in Woodgrain. Or at least slipcovered.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the fabric is trade only? Can you divulge approximate price per yard?
ReplyDeleteI love it and would love to cover two chairs in it if it's affordable enough...
Thanks!
