Do you know what this is??

lavender ostrich fabric

Here are two clues:

lavender

And:

ostrich

Do you have it?? It’s this:

lavender ostrich chairs

Yes, it’s the purple ostrich I was on the hunt for a couple of weeks ago :-) Thanks to the help of Emilie at InVU Drapery, Natalie at Style At Home, Samantha Pynn at Pure Design, and Valerie at BB Bargoons, I now own 3 yards of lavender faux ostrich leather :-) It’s going to be combined with violets and otters…

…in my next decorating project — which is a secret for now :-) You’ll have to make sure you keep reading DesignTies to see the final result!!

    Maxwell makes a great faux ostrich...really durable too...I knew you would chose that lavender colour Kelly! I would guess Victoria would chose red. I like the red or dark brown. That ostrich made me laugh...you always do that to me. Looking forward to seeing your dining room :)

    You two rock my socks off... just like purple ostrich!

    I actually went with the Mini Cooper- I looked into Smart Cars- but I carpool, so they didn't make it too far down the list.

    In the end it came down to a mini and a prius- the prius would've had to get about 75 mpg's to make up for mini's sweet financing options...

    Ooo ooo ooo (hand raised) - I think I know what that project is!!! But I'll keep your secret - can't wait to see!

    I love the colour combination (where did you get the colour samples?) and I'm not surprised at your colour choice :)!

    This will be neat as it unfolds. I really like the colors and the snap of the lavender field would be great in the same room with these colors too.
