Next to source will be a gorgeous french settee for our home. I just love this fabric below and finally, I will have a big enough item to use it on! Phew! And double phew, my father has an upholstery business to make my vision come alive although, I'm not sure he will be so excited - he never quite understands my fabric choices and always jokes and says, if a client asked for this, I would refuse. It always makes me laugh. He saw my favourite pink zebra cushions that are also a favourite with my lovely customers he couldn't believe his eyes. Bit of the old school type he is - we have very different tastes!
