WISTERIA INSPIRED

 




Simply stunning, this waterfall of blooming wisteria graces the front of a brownstone is my neighborhood.  The luscious blooms are now in their prime; delicate and beautiful, their violet shade and sweet fragrance compels me to stop and pause-the rites of spring are simply spectacular.

A few inspirational prints from Schumacher, new and just in time for spring.


"The Jugglers", a Schumacher's classic chinoiserie motif was the muse for the new Shanghai Silhouette print.  The whimsical pattern is an artful pairing of traditional Chinese designs featuring fanciful figures and foliage on a clean background.  The print feels chic and modern in a delicate wisteria hue, the perfect print for a sophisticated living room or bedroom. 


Summer Palace Fret, named after the storied eighteenth century Chinese palace, is a classic fretwork pattern combining traditional architectural elements and geometric design.  The subtle silver violet color softens the fabric's strong lines;  the pattern translates beautifully to both traditional and modern decors.
