\n\t\t\tCow Parsley\t<\/h2>\n\t

Our garden in West Sussex backs onto a field and I’m a fairly ‘live and let live’ sort of gardener with the result that a number of wild flowers wander over and join the things I’ve actually planted.<\/p>\n

Cow parsley has to be one of the prettiest of these – it’s one of those flowers that probably gets ignored as it appears in every hedgerow. But \u00a0the intricate masses of tiny flowers are worth a closer look.<\/p>\n

The individual flowers are so tiny I chose to give an impression rather than represent each one – but I do love the way they seem to form little constellations like stars.<\/p>\n

The blue background of the original design is the colour of a spring sky (on a good day, this is the UK!) However Cow Parsley has turned out to be one of those designs that works really well on many background colours.<\/p>\n

Like all our fabrics, it’s available by the metre and if you’d like to see it in a colour to go with other furnishings in your home – just ask!<\/p>\n

(For more details of our fabric customisation service see here.)<\/p>\n

I like asking friends and family for ideas – this version of the fabric was my answer to “I wonder what it would look like in pink?”<\/p>\n

I was so pleased when one of my interior design clients decided they would like to use one of my fabric designs in a renovation project.<\/p>\n

It’s an old house, with the window overlooking an internal courtyard so the idea of a floral print appealed.<\/p>\n

They loved the Cow Parsley design but knew the blue background would not work withe the newly purchased sofa bed. No problem – that’s why I offer a fabric customisation service!<\/p>\n

We discussed options, I showed them digital mock ups of colour ways and having narrowed it down I sent for printed fabric samples.<\/p>\n

They chose a curtain rail with a modern ‘wave’ design that shows off the fabric beautifully, and chose a finish that matched their sleek new radiator.<\/p>\n

I think they’ve successfully mixed timeless contemporary design with some classic treasured pieces, and they have a room and curtains they love.<\/p>\n
