It was an unusual piece, retro, modern, and rather busy. It was a tree with leaves, done as if by brush strokes, white on brown. Not for every one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Blog-people\/ch-tree-500a.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Blog-people\/ch-tree-500b.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">FAUVE<br \/>\nby Clarence House Fabrics<\/p>\n<p>Around the second week of September I received an email from the lady who had purchased the fabric. She had written a blog article about Brick House Fabrics, and had used several pictures from Postcards from Away- very exciting! I wrote, thanking her, and she pointed me to another blog post she had written, based upon the fabric. It was then that I realized that here was a worth while blog about interior design and home decorating.<\/p>\n<p>The article was about Billy Baldwin and showcased how he had used what at first was thought to be the same fabric, and then went on to make a comparison to Arbre de Matisse, by Quadrille. This is great stuff! This is how a blog should be! Filled with pictures? Yes, but also informative! I love that!<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">So, what did Valerie do with her piece?<br \/>\nTake a look!<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Blog-people\/bill-500.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">Valerie&#8217;s pillows stand out sharply from the two pillows with the larger and darker graphic print,<br \/>\nand the white sofa with the brown welting adds further drama.<br \/>\nA superior use of contrasts!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">So, if you are looking for an enjoyable, and well written, blog about interior decorating,<br \/>\nplease take a look at Valerie&#8217;s blog, it is worth your time!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevisualvamp.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>The Visual Vamp<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Blog-people\/valerie-hart-206.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">VALERIE HART<br \/>\nis<br \/>\nThe Visual Vamp<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">The article about Billy Baldwin is<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/thevisualvamp.blogspot.com\/search?q=baldwin\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I don&#8217;t follow many blogs.
