Burlap to Cashmere


Burlap usually connotes rough, itchy, ugly sacks that hold some kind of smelly animal feed.  Fortunately, that is no longer the case!  Burlap is making a comeback as a versatile fabric with a touch of elegance.  Burlap is much softer and smoother now and can be found endlessly and reasonably at fabric stores.  These photos are of a couple favorite burlap items in my home.  I just purchased the little burlap flower yesterday to hang on a mirror vanity along with other fun whimsical items.  I purchased the burlap chair several years ago and have always loved it.  It is very comfortable and can be dressed up with a throw and pillow.  Of course, the nailhead trim doesn't hurt either!  I have a friend who makes very soft burlap pillows with gorgeous flowers pinned to the corner.  The possibilities are endless!
