My personal favorite was Venice, but I love that there are cities like San Francisco and…Texas? Okay, not a city but still a cool theme for a book.
I found the books at my favorite home store Juxtaposition in Newport Coast, but you can find them at Amazon as well. Happy reading!
can't believe I didn't know about this!

Spoonflower, a company that lets you create custom fabric that they will print for you with no minimum yardage requirement. In my constant quest for the perfect pillows and curtains (and chair re-upholstery, etc. etc.) I have totally hit the jackpot here. To sweeten the pot, they offer eco-friendly fabrics and some seriously amazing prices. Plus, you can order a swatch for only $5 so you get to see your creation before you commit.
If you are looking for some inspiration or you’d prefer to let someone else’s right brain do the walking, you can browse through the public libraries that are also for sale. And to make it all the more exciting, you can enter your creation in a weekly contest. So bring out your inner textile designer and get to work. I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!
Here are a few of my faves:

It’s a canvas rug, and it actually requires very little skill in the painting department. If you opt for a pattern like the one above, you can make or download a really simple stencil from Martha Stewart.com. Using a canvas drop cloth makes this totally budget friendly, as they run about $20 for a large one.
