Updating the Hall…(again)
We were recently gifted a large haul of amazing antique furniture. Like shut your mouth amazing! So I have been switching around some of our, well, not so amazing furniture to make room for the upgrades. It was perfect timing as I was purging all of my hoard for the Room Service project. So a few things had to go!
Our hallway was the easiest place to start… I know, I liked it too. It even ended up it Kelly Edwards “The Design Cookbook” next to a project by the amazing Tobi Fairley! But the mirror was needed at the room, the garden stool doesn’t really live there & the ladder had been knocked over one too many times by the Tasmanian devil, I mean my daughter.
So in it’s place, I placed a vintage brass quilt rack to house our extra towels. And I filled the walls with two large frames filled with the ever popular spotted fabric. I had a yard leftover from the room’s new headboard & thought these would make a really great graphic statement in our little space. Y’all know how I love to mix a print! Plus, ever since I saw this space in Lonny Mag I have been wanting to duplicate the look somewhere…
I think the hall was the perfect place for this in our home…
The large scale of the framed fabric actually makes the space feel larger & is a great solution for the wallet as well. You’d be hard pressed to find art of that size for $7… just sayin.
Now here is the bad news… Everyone is looking for this fabric & I fear it may be discontinued as it has been sold out everywhere. I got the last few yards from Fabric.com on clearance… not a good sign for it’s return. But if you want to keep an eye out for it, it is Premiere Prints Togo.
The fabulous Brittany from Brittany Makes has shared her favorite spotted fabrics for all less than $20 a yard, maybe one of these would work for your upcoming spotted project!
Leave a comment below if you have found it anywhere!
Here you can use this fabric from Ikea and can create this look (well close enough…if not same…)

Perfection. It looks fab!
Oh BUMMER about the fabric! I've always loved that one. That quilt rack is fab, I bet you'll find tons of great uses for it over the years.
Looks so good girl!!
I have found a really similar pattern on Spoonflower!
its gorgeous!!!
Love that fabric so much and that's such a great deal! I've had this fabric from spoonflower pinned for a while and it's very similar http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/489573
There's a new fabric on Fabric.com that looks very similar! And it's about the same price. The only issue is that it's very lightweight. Here's the link!

It's so fun to change things up! I love the new look. π Where'd you get the frames? They are a nice size. And I love the brass quilt rack. That's genius!
Thanks Carrie! They were old prints from Z Galleries that I have put new images/fabric in a few times. They are a great size!
great update! it's cleaner and graphic. fun!
Domesticate makes a great dot fabric for Spoonflower. I have a little of that spot fabric left and I'm saving it for when I get a great idea for it. Love what you did!
The quilt rack looks great in the hallway. I really
like the update, especially with it being practical and family-friendly. Btw, where did you find your shower curtain? I'm trying to find something very similar for our home and have had little luck.
I love the new look!
Love the update! It's always nice to mix things up in your own home. You always have the best eye! xo Kristin
LOVE!
Smart that you made each fabric in the frame large enough for a pillow in the future! Looks great!
