Sunny Summer Decor

Sunflower and Lemonade Photo


Summertime, and the living is easy! Now is the time to enjoy the outdoors, and what better way than dining al fresco?


Summer Table Photo



Decorating with nature as your backdrop gives you so many of options. As summer reaches it's peak, sunflowers are a perfect choice to build your table decor around. Paired with blues taken from the sky and water, your tablescape will look fresh and cool during the summer heat.

While you're at it, why not think outside the box and use sunflowers in an unconventional way? Giant silk sunflowers, deconstructed, become unique placemats, while smaller blooms are the perfect backdrop for placecards.

Finish off your decor with a sunflower embellished candle in a hurricane to keep the wind out, and your dining adventure can carry on into the evening.




So, what are you waiting for? Grab some sunflowers, enhance your outdoor living space, and enjoy the lazy days of summer!

Pretty in Paisley Fabric Prints

The 1960’s were a tumultuous decade filled with change, expression and influence. Or so I hear. After all, I was born in the 90’s. Anyway, one huge aspect of pop culture that the 60’s influenced was, you guessed it, fashion. Long skirts, braids, sandals… They’re still chic, or at least they are this spring. And with that, I ask: what is more 1960’s than paisley?

Before I delve into some do-it-yourself links and tips, let’s have a history lesson. According to The Quilter’s Muse on paisley, the pattern style originated in the Middle East quite some time ago. The pattern later gained popularity in the 1960’s and the 1990’s. Look at that! Perhaps my nostalgic paisley preference makes sense now. History lesson: finished.


Now for some ideas regarding what to do with paisley fabrics (like my personal favorite paisley fabric print carried at our very own Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts stores). Spring cleaning is always a great idea, right? Sure. So! Follow Design*Sponge’s little DIY to make a playful paisley fabric storage bin. If your affinity is less organization-oriented and more fashion-prone, sew a precocious paisley bowtie (just in time for Easter) with help from papernstitchblog.com. As always, don’t forget to browse our online store for discount paisley fabric to help you in your DIY adventure.


After all of this, what do you think? Should paisley stay in the 60’s? Or are you glad that it comes back in style so often?

Embracing Springtime In Your Home Décor

Spring has officially arrived. As a season of newness, organization, and all things creative, spring is one of the best times to showcase your artistic talents. Where should you start? Your home is the number one place where your personality shines. If you’re hoping and wishing you could change the feel of your home, but don’t quite have the budget, start small. The moods of your accents and decorations change everything.

You say: “My living room is boring.” I say: “Throw pillows!” You might laugh, but it’s true. Plain-colored couches look fantastic and fun when paired with uniquely colored or patterned pillows, and it just so happens that Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts stores have a lovely selection of fabric for your home. I must admit, I’m pretty excited about the discounted Amy Butler fabrics because they remind me of spring! And that’s what we were discussing, correct? See what I did there? Anyway…

As I dole out tips, tricks, and advice to you in adding a little spice to your décor, I will also say this: the Internet is an awesome tool for inspiration. Not only can you shop for supplies online, but you can also see what others are creating and see what you like! Spring is a wonderful season because it gets people out of their creative hibernations. Also, people love to share their projects through blogs! When I need some creativity-caffeine, I visit blogs like I Go By Katie, How About Orange, and Oh, Hello Friend.

Who will inspire your spring project, and what will your project be? Share with us in the comments below or on Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts Facebook Page!
