When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, part When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, particularly interested in the fabrics and textiles. These shots are of some drapes, carpeting, and #wallpaper from the @grantcottage, where General (and President) Ulysses S. Grant lived out his final months and finished his widely-hailed #memoirs. Visit it in New York outside of Saratoga Springs. 

Isn’t that black #sunflower — or is it #chrysanthemum — pattern on the drapes amazing? And the one wallpaper looks like a #williammorris design. None of the items in the house are #reproductions — they’re all exactly as they were in 1885, perfectly preserved history.

This 1970s Waverly Fabric piece titled "Papillion, This 1970s Waverly Fabric piece titled "Papillion," offers poppies in profusion rendered in a style reminiscent of Marimekko. Big black outlines define the flowers and lazing butterflies, the long sleek foliage and toothy leaves. Berries or buds add a contrasting shape and design feature. The whole piece has that WOW factor in color to amp the whole thing up. Fabulously on trend for decades, this 1970s look has ascended into "classic" vintage floral territory. Great for a vintage kid's room, throwback space, or for a contemporary fresh floral look. 

We have just 2.5 yards available at $89/yard. Find it in our #etsyshop Lady Virginia Vintage Fabrics (link in bio).
