For the birds


I really like patterns with birds. I don't actually own any clothes or house fabrics with birds on it (yet!) but I'm always drawn to the design. It's like peacocks, I'm always wooed by that fabulous greeny blue color of the feathers. Gorgeous!

In Northern Ireland it's not a compliment about someones' ornithological advocacy when someone says "You're for the birds." Instead one's grasp on reality, amount of common sense and general mental health are all in doubt. Today feels like one of those days when I'm quite happy to be a bit for the birds! Maybe it's because we're under a heat advisory in Virginia with the heat index set to hit 106 later. For whatever reason here are some bird fabrics I'm coveting for me and our home.

Nordic designers INKE have an amazing collection of vintage inspired wallpapers and decals that are truly stunning! Thankfully they ship to the US :)

 Peacock Feather original watercolor

Good old Etsy (which turns 10 this year!) comes up trumps with a beautiful peacock feather by Tuscon artist Megan Harrington Diaz. Megan also has paintings and prints of Ireland in her Dusty Shamrock Studio - a little piece of home! You should check out her work.

 Blue Bird Chair Makeover

The website Living Creatively Inspired has some lovely ideas - all I need now is time to redo our tired dining room chairs!
