Chameleon Style Blog

I love that e-trade commercial where the doctors are viewing a patient with money coming out the wazoo!

Well, we have fabrics up to “Kazoo” – yes that’s the name of this brand new stylized – ikatish-floral. The colors are just magnificent.

As a seasoned fabriholic a beautiful new print always gets my creative juices flowing.

Last month I was enamored with Birdsong but the minute I saw Kazoo I was in love again.
But veteran customers of Chameleon Style know that with our great design formula one never has to decide ” Either- Or” but rather you can have both looks.
I already found a great “Bridge Fabric” in the Cool Dot Jade. Its luscious turquoise hues just pop the colors in Birdsong and enrich the shades in Kazoo.

We’ll be putting together a great little vignette with these Key Fabrics in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

2012 will be a great year.
I know this because:

• My Mom will be 100 years old in June.
• Our store will be celebrating our 15 year    anniversary
• And color is back!

Not that I don’t love all the soft neutrals and the new grays that dominate the marketplace but I think the lack of color in home décor products (because they feel safe?) are part of the reason our country was in and is still coming out of a massive recession. In my opinion nothing motivates change and action more than a wonderful color.

This new fabric, Birdsong – Peacock (pictured left), has just what it takes to be a great inspiration fabric (at Chameleon Style we call it the “Key Fabric”)…. Lots of fun loving colors; the new edgy peacock blue combined with oranges and plums topped off with a bright magenta and a touch of lime all on a “lineny” neutral ground give Birdsong the elements to make it highly adaptable.
And of course I can’t not mention that it has a “bird on it” (referring to the popular youtube video, Put a Bird on it).

When I look at this Birdsong fabric, I think of the lovely message to all of us surviving these past years of uncertainty in the poem by Victor Hugo:


Be like the bird
That
Pausing on her flight
A while
On boughs too slight
Feels them
Give way beneath her
And yet sings…
Knowing she hath wings.


Here’s to a New Year and spreading our wings!
