Martyn Lawrence Bullard Fabric

Image
While searching through the Carolina Irving fabrics at Hollywood at Home , I came across this fun fabric designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. It's called Sultan's Suzanni. Unfortunately, my scanner bed is too small to show the entire print but it is fabulous in person. Shannon Marks, one of the welcoming designers at Hollywood at Home, pulled out this photo of the fabric at work. This sofa was created by her next door neighbors at Harbinger . You can see the entire print here. The fabric below, Sultan's Garden, was a contrast pattern from the same collection. Love it too. You can learn more about Martyn Lawrence Bullard by visiting Cote de Texas . Joni always has the scoop! Two other inspiring stores to visit in this enclave of shops are Claremont and Nathan Turner . UPDATE 4/16/09: Martyn Lawrence Bullard now has a website. You can view it by clicking here .
