Lewis and Sheron Fabrics

Going to the fabric stores have always been a great way to be inspired.  In fact, it’s downright dangerous.  Whenever I stroll through the aisles of a wonderful fabric store like Lewis and Sheron fabrics here in Atlanta, I want to chuck all my fabrics and start over.  Oh, those lovely and colorful prints and solids draw me in and beg me to take them home.  I’m not ready to do anything right now, but these beautiful bolts grab me every single time.

My mother used to drag us in the fabric stores when we were young and then, I didn’t think it was all that much fun, but I later came to love seeing those bolts of fabrics and all the possibilities that came from them:  a new dress, skirt, drapery panels, or pillows, oh the endless inspiration that fabric on the bolt held for me.

If you are looking for a jumpstart for a decorating project, hit your local fabric store and see if something speaks to you.  These sure were speaking to me. Lewis and Sheron has been a staple for Atlanta’s fabric choices and I wanted to show you firsthand where I’ve been shopping for years.  This is one of two fabric stores off Howell Mill Road.  Forsyth Fabrics is the other one and they both have a ton of choices.

Lewis and Sharon

We’ll stop in Lewis and Sheron first and maybe another time, I’ll show off the other one.

056

Just inside the front door, this wall of beautiful fabrics was waiting.

059

Bolts and bolts of beautiful fabrics.  Their prices are not outrageous either.  Many affordable fabrics.

061

I love how they group coordinating fabrics like this happy combo.  Dog lovers will enjoy that one!

060

Row after row, aisle after aisle of gorgeousness.

062

Soft and serene neutral beauties.

063

Here’s that row of sea-inspired fabrics I talked about.  Gorgeous, aren’t they!?

064

Lovely and trendy grays are so popular right now.

066

Gray and yellow, a wonderful combo.

067

More grays to choose from.

068

Florals and stripes and so many to look at.  You can imagine how overwhelming it might be to choose fabrics in here?  You have to stay focused in a place like this.

069

Love all of these.

070

They offer ready made drapery panels too.

073

Red, white and blue have never looked so yummy.

Yellow Gray fabrics

Amazing selections await.

104

Greens always draw me in, I love greens.

Blue fabrics

Oh wait, how about blues?  These are so pretty too.

colorful fabrics

Blues and greens, here you go!

088

They even have furniture choices and you can have them upholstered in the fabric of your dreams.

089

Nice, huh?

Pillows

Ready made pillows too.

074

As well as a huge room of nothing but trims.

075

Any trim and tassles you can imagine is here.

076

Look through that doorway there.  It is called Staceage and I’m not sure of it’s origin, but it looks like a retro place with color power that will knock you out with eye candy.

077

See!!  Look at the chairs and fabric combos.  It’s an explosion of color and pattern.  Just like the 60’s and 70’s.

079

It makes you smile just to walk around in here.  A glam bed.

081

This vintage style chair was covered in snazzy green fabrics.   It’s tons of fun!

Green Chairs

Look at the back with that yummy crown.  What a statement piece this chair is.  It was so fun to walk around in this room. I was just amazed at all the bright fabrics and the way the furniture was painted and displayed.

Green fabirics

Yum, I love these colors.

082

Look at this stool, the gold is glittered.

083

And this sofa, so fun and funky.

085

This pearlized blue chair was funky too, love the look.  This is a fun way to update old and vintage pieces.  They take painted furniture to another level.

086

Like this settee.

090

It was painted in a glossy two toned paint finish, not blue or purple, but both.  Notice the nailheads.

Funky chaise

How about this bright and vibrantly painted chaise lounge.

091

Here’s something I have never seen before. Nailheads in all sorts of colors.  $100 for 250 of them.

Colored nailheads

Could you have some fun with all of these colors?

Gold chair

Check out this drapey chair.

097

So many possibilities.

098

Throws embellished with trim.

102

This pink chair was so happy, with the throw draped across.

I knew you would love seeing Lewis and Sheron.  They are a wonderful fabric store and we are so lucky to have them here in Atlanta.  I have been visiting here for years and I’m sure I’ll be back there again once I get another house. Oh, won’t that be fun?!

Do you love fabric browsing too and how are the fabric stores in your area?  We are SO fortunate to have some wonderful fabric shopping in Atlanta.

I’d love for you all to join me on my Facebook page!  I’m getting more active over there on a daily basis and you never know what will show up, from project updates, to talking about day to day topics, and even sharing my new glasses I just got.  Go on, you know you want to see those!  So this is a great way to share inspiration, ask questions, and get feedback from lots of others too.  So, come on over and join me, won’t you?  I’d love for all of you to get involved too and show pics of rooms or decorating projects you might have questions with.  There are plenty of girls who would love to chime in on that too and you’ll get lots of ideas.   You can always click over from that Southern Hospitality Facebook badge as well and it will take you over there.

    What a truly amazing store! I probably could get lost very easy in that place. Unfortunately, in my area of Ohio we don’t have any types of fabric stores close to that quality, just JoAnnes. So I will just drool over these luscious fabric photos for the time being. Thanks for sharing with us!

    That is the best store I’ve seen in a long time!! I shopped at a store back home “G Street”, I actually think this is bigger! Can you believe I would be home sick for a store?

    I spent many a afternoon camped out in fabric stores when I was little. My sister and I would always play with the buttons and all the sequin embellishments!

    OMG… like a kid in a candy store… I love that place. I can spend hours, upon hours in there getting totally ‘lost’ in the aisle of beauty! Thank you so much for a little escape there today! I need to set a appointment to venture in and ‘waste’ my afternoon feasting on ‘candy’!!!

    I truly didn’t think I’d be too interested in this post. Boy, was I wrong! I can’t believe all the truly beautiful fabric (and other things) in that store.

    Your killing me! That place is the ultimate fabric heaven. I am a fabric-holic who can’t walk into a fabric store and not ooo and awww and touch everything in there. Then I find something I can’t live without and redo my entire house around it. Yep, fabric stores are dangerous territory for me! Even so, I have got to get to that store!

    You know I have lived in ATL my entire life and have never been to Lewis and Sheron???

    I’m pretty sure it would throw me into a redecorating frenzy based on your pics 🙂

    Love all these fabrics, gosh I wish we had a store like that in New Zealand. I especially love the blue and white ones. I have a collection of blue and white china I got from Asia and the Middle East when I lived as an expat, I was about to sell them all this year and replace with French and white but I have decided to keep them as its seems that blue and white is making a come back. I saw lots of blue and white in a local interior shop I haunt….and now seeing the fabrics on here.

    I might have to check out if this company sell overseas as I would love some blue and white cushions.

    The variety of fabrics, trims, and furniture offer myriad possibilities for some beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. The store is amazing. Ever since I viewed the post yesterday, I keep thinking about something. In one display of fabrics – the sea-inspired ones – there is a fabric printed with colorful snakes! Now, I like turtles and frogs, but crocs, gators, lizards and especially snakes – not so much! So I couldn’t help but wonder who would use that snake print and for what? I can’t see it on a couch or a chair or draperies (or anything else, for that matter) so I thought maybe some of you decorators could provide an answer. I’m sure I’ll be pleasantly surprised, as in “I never thought of that!” So, Rhoda, what would you use the snake printed fabric for? Just curious.

      Hey, Joyce, I didn’t even notice the snake fabric in that set & had to go back & look. I’m with you, that one would NEVER come home with me. I have no idea what someone would do with that. Not a snake lover!

    Rhoda, my Mamaw took me to the fabric stores with her and I loved it even as a child, cause she sewed for ME and the possibilities were for ME! My Daddy always took me to the hardware store and I loved the clean, fresh possibilities in there, too. Wood, paint, trim, lighting fixtures. Mmm, mmm!
