Glitter, Glitter, and More Glitter!

Who stopped in to Dream today to show us their latest? Kris Mathes from D.L. Couch! New to Dream Interiors, D.L. Couch is a company that specializes in commercial wallcoverings, but they have many designer lines that can be used residentially as well.

Have a love of Candice Olson from Divine Design on HGTV? We do! We had the chance to see some large samples of all things wonderful and Candy!


Another designer that D.L. Couch carries is Ulf Moritz. Straight out of Europe, you will never see more glamorous glitter on a wall covering! We have an entirely new book of this glitz available now at Dream!



So, what does D.L Couch have to offer that we have not seen lately? Tons of luscious vinyls that have come a long way since that old commercial vinyl paper. You can use them as a back splash, in powder rooms, or a busy hallway! Also, silks! Gorgeous silk papers! Dramatic and stunning! And how about a reversible sheer? Using a new process call air-dye, D.L. Couch has found the ability to color BOTH sides of a waffle sheer in different colors!


One last inspiring designer that D. L. Couch is hooking up with- Stacy Garcia. We have seen many patterns from Stacy in the past, but we got a peak at her new wall coverings and coordinating fabrics! Stacy runs a woman- owned business and her lines are made in the US! Very inspiring!

Dream Girls LOVE Fabric!

Today, the Dream girls were visited by our fairy godmother- aka Robert Allen rep Katie Harker! Rolling suitcase in tow, Katie brought us some scrumptious new fabrics from Robert Allen and Beacon Hill! A very special treat as most of the new Robert Allen @ Home fabrics will not be booked this season... the only way we get to get our hands on them is through Katie or by trekking down to the Mart. This was a much more convenient and fun way to see the new styles!

So, what are some prominent colors in new fabrics?? Cobalt blue and white- creating an amazing clean contrasting look & purple. As a Dream girl, you have a special appreciation for all things purple, and these new purple hues are to die for!!

Robert Allen @ Home is an excellently priced line offering up those staples that are needed to tie rooms together from upholstery to window treatments to accents such as pillows. This new collection has many vivacious prints and some amazing solids and textures in all of this season's colors and the timeless colors as well.

Beacon Hill, a higher end division of Robert Allen, always makes are mouths water, and this collection is no different. "Luxury Naturals" is the title of this new group and it is nothing short of amazing. A couple key elements of Luxury Naturals: lots of natural fibers such as linens, cottons and wools, and many natural elements such as scrumptious florals, and birds which we have seen popping up in many elements of design!

Large samples of our favorite fabrics are on order and due into Dream in the next week or so. Stop in and ask to see them for yourself!

Designer Papers!

Apparently the wallcovering business is booming! York rep Rondy Yates brought in his newest and best new designer paper lines to show off and they got some oooohs and ahhhhs from the Dream girls! One of the new lines included Walt Disney- a paper line inspired by different screen shots from famous Walt Disney movies!

These designer lines are inspiring entire rooms whether they be subtle patterns adding texture to the walls, or large statements pulling the entire color story and theme of the room together. Something fun and new- mixing 2 colors of sand and glitter to create the ultimate in texture right on the paper! Even embroidery is finding its way into wallcoverings with these fun embroidered dragonflies!

Not only do these new wallcoverings look good, but advances have been made as to how they are created. By making the back of the paper darker, it is easier to hide seams on dark paper. And a new non woven backing makes for easy put up and take down. This substrait will prevent the paper from ruining your walls therefore giving you no excuse why NOT to use wallpaper!

Fun with Roman Shades & Cornices

Jim from CWA visited the Dream Girls today and brought with him a truck load of amazing samples of his work! Who knew all of the amazing options in cornices that are available these days! Jim and his crafty workroom have put out some amazing work for Dream Interiors in the past, and seeing all of their most recent work was quite a treat!

Among the goodies we saw- shaped awnings- even rounded, box-pleated cornice, wallpapered, tufted and quilted cornices!

Special mention- motorized romans that are now available top down bottom up! The answer to child safety issues- these new child safe romans cover all of the cords and workings underneath lining! Also nice if you are worried about the exterior view! You can even get this cordless with a new spring roller lift system that operates similar to a roller shade!

Stop into Dream over the next few weeks- we liked Jim's cornice displays so much that we had to ordered our own!! 8 new cornices in fun designer fabrics are in the works!!
