   I love, love, love the design of your blog! Just came across it now. I am about to look at the vintage upholstery: I want a real retro design for my very curvaceous slipper chair.

   But I just want to add: a tiny vintage second-hand shop in my town currently has a chair with an original Alexander Calder design on the fabric! The fabric is a little worn, but the design is wonderful. It is grey background with some pinks. The colours won’t work in my place (and I’m not a pink gal), and not crazy about the chair, but the pattern is marvellous.

   I have been looking for years for the red vinyl “marble” look fabric. It used to be on the chrome dinnette sets from the 50′s. It was also availale in blue and yellow.

   Do you have ny wsuch thing or can you refer me?

   Thanks

     Cheryn, Barsandbooths.com has had this for years. I am certain you could find it elsewhere. Here is my post on where to find vinyl, they have a red marble, but it’s not crackle ice and that is probably what you are looking for: http://retrorenovation.com/2009/06/02/where-to-find-vinyl-upholstery-fabric-with-the-vintage-naugahyde-look/
