Help Please!


UPDATE:   The fabulous Jennifer Sergent of DC by Design found the fabric!!   Here's her comment:

You're not going to believe this. I thought that fabric looked very familiar, so I went back to a story I wrote for Luxe Interiors + Design this past fall, on a grand home in Fort Worth -- and sure enough, designer Joseph Minton used this fabric with abandon in the public areas -- It's Lee Jofa's hand-blocked Chinese Lantern. 

Here's my story: http://dcbydesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/LuxeDallasMintonFeature.pdf

You can read her post w/the fabric here.

I have a couple of readers who are dying to know the name of this gorgeous fabric from my recent post on this room by Larry Hooke.  If know what that's like - if anyone has any ideas that would me most welcome!


Also, there's a request for ideas on paint colors that would approximate the back of these bookshelves.

  1. Did you try contacting Mr. Hooke? Looks like he has a profile on Dering Hall

  2. Hi Michele,
    You probably know about this, but, a while ago, South Shore Decorating Blog did a post about finding a product from a photo using "Google Reverse Image Search." She said in the post that she uses this every day and describes how to do it. I tried to figure it out for your reader and see if I could ID the fabric but have run out of time. Maybe your reader will want to try to do that her/himself.
