DAMASK ATTACK!

One of my lovely bridesmaids, Liz (AKA "The Art Director") and I have taken to i chatting deep into the night and literally slapping each other with amazing design ideas. Our newest obsession has turned to DAMASK (is it a fabric or a print - I really don't know!).

You're addicted now, right?

yay for progress!
