With fabric on the couches, beds, and drapes, we decided to kick off the remodel at my favorite starting point- fabric. It's a relatively small investment- a bit of elbow grease, a sewing machine, and loads of fabric- that's bound to add some wow.
The first challenge was picking our color palette. We wanted something that would make the inside more modern, but still stay true to the retro roots. After mixing a couple different palettes that seemed too bold, we looked to the camper for inspiration and were attracted to the original brown and orange palette. The neutral pumpkin and cocoa coloration is made fresh and new by adding a cement grey, a subtle cream, and buttery yellow.
We started with the Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy collection for the inspiration fabric- the grey floral and polka dot leaves have just the right amount of retro for the drapes and pillows. A dark colored cocoa fabric for the beds should hold up well with use, while the iron weave design adds a large scale pattern to keep it from being boring. The pumpkin basketweave not only brings in texture, but is super durable and add some brightness. The upholstery weight chevron rounds it out with just a touch of modern cool. This mix of durable solids, geometric upholstery weight, and retro florals packed just the punch we were looking for. Time to break out the sewing machine.
