Everybody was Kung Fu fighting…
I have no idea why, but for the last threeweeks I keep breaking out into song and start singing, “Everybody was Kung Fu fighting.” Do I know all the words? Nope. Which means I pretty much just sing the first two lines over and over. Let me tell ya Jon is loving it!
Over the weekend I realized that I start singing the song everytime I thought about Chiang Mai Dragon fabric. I have no idea why my brain has decided to make that connection. Maybe because they are both Asian inspired? Or maybe I’ll just never know. Regardless I can’t seem to get it out of my head.
I know the fabric has been around for awhile, but I recently realized that it would work perfectly in my bedroom for a chair that I want to get reholstered. Since then the singing has started and I can’t stop.
Then I get my July issue of In Style and there is a feature on Kristen Bell’s home and her amazing Chiang Mai Dragon covered ottoman from Plantation!
She also uses it on her kitchen stools:
Then I went into my inspiration files and found even more shots of my beloved Chiang Mai Dragon:

Hmmm maybe if I promise Jon that I’ll stop singing once I get it he’ll agree that it’s a smart investment?
What fabric is currently on your mind?

that fabric is lovely... go for it!
wow, i was unfamiliar with that fabric, but now im not.....its great, i love it! thanks for sharing!
have you seen it in the blue colorway? it's goregous. I saw this used in a breakfast nook, the owners had covered in pvc. Sounds iffy, but honestly it was great looking and durable in a family kitchen.
You just made my morning! Thank you for posting these beautiful fabrics.
Go make yourself some pillows girl.
Yep, now that song is my head too!
I've never seen fabric like that, love it! I think you should make some pillows as well!
Camila, I haven't been here in ages, but I absolutely love how your blog has developed!!! Looks like things are going really good for you, and you've had some amazing finds lately!! Can't wait to see what you do with all of it :)
I adore this fabric and want to use it on everything in my house...now what I dont adore is the price tag...ugg!
oh im obsessed with it!! im dying to do curtains in KWID trellis, ha ha ha not on my unemployment budget
Fab fab!
That fabric is beautiful. I love it on her kitchen stools. I also love the picture with the green chaise, with the fabric on an accent pillow.
I hope Jon gives in, opps, I mean delightfully agrees. :)
I kind of had an Imperial Trellis thing for awhile. Can't think of a song to go with it, though.
I love that fabric soooo much, I used to have it in my living room! By any chance could you post better-quality scans of the magazine article?
I always loved this fabric and then I saw it in Domino on those breakfast room chairs and I was IN LOVE. I had not seen the InStyle yet. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!
I love everything on here! Kristen Bell has such a sweet pad and a really cute doggie! Love all those bright punchy accents!
Love the fabric! Can't wait to see what you do with it... lately, I've been obsessed with Amy Butler fabrics. I love her color combos, especially grey and yellows, and the floral patterns.
I can't wait to pick up the newest In Style! I love that fabric, love, love, love!
Oh I am drooling over that first settee with those cushions! Love the pattern - you must do something with it.
Wow, it's everywhere! I have loved chiang mai for a while, so I'd totally be in support of you using it somehow!
This is the first time I've seen your blog and I love it!! I've been obsessing about this fabric ever since my In Style mag came in the mail last week. I really want to reupholster an armchair of my grandmother's with this fabric! My question is...how does someone buy it? At Schumacher.com, it looked like you had to be in the business..
Thanks!
ahh! that fabric is GORGEOUS!! LOVE IT :)
My son loves that song too. We you-tube it at least three times a day and watch the music video. :) It made me laugh that you mentioned the song.
