Richloom's Invigodk in Confetti

I received all kinds of emails about the fabric that reader Banks used on her pelmet box:


Banks also used the Invigodk pattern to line her freshly painted china hutch.


She also had some of the fabric laminated and upholstered her now kid-proof dining chairs!

Banks was kind enough to hunt down the maker and name of the fabric. It's milled by Richloom, called Invigodk in Confetti. She bought her yardage at Forsyth Fabrics in Atlanta. For those of us not local, the fabric is available online at Orien Textiles.


And in related news, I found myself in Pier 1 a few days ago and remembered that Banks had mentioned that there was a chair there in the Invigodk pattern.


I think it's pretty. Even though I think you lose a bit of the pattern with the tufting, I still like the details.


It's a pretty small slipper chair and would be perfect for an apartment or dorm room. Or a nursery. It's on sale for $199.


Thanks for all the investigative work, Banks!

    What a sleuth to uncover such a gem of a chair...It has sort of a Rumpelstiltskin sort of name...Invigodk.
    Sweet chair anywhere!

    I miss Forsyth Fabrics!! And I KNEW I recognized that fab fabric when you posted her pretty pelmet! I wish the P1 chair was just slightly less boxy. It's still cute!PVE is correct, it's very Rumpelstiltskin!

    I saw that fabric at Forsyth too. They are really good about finding fabric and shipping it to you if anyone is interested. Even if you don't have the information you can e-mail them a picture and they can find it if they still have it. Love the chair too although I agree about the tufting.

    Hey...can we get some info on the fabric laminating process? Where do you get that done and how much does it cost, generally speaking?

    How does one go about laminating fabric? Is it still elegant enough for a formal dining room?

    Love this fabric! May be the perfect way to tie together a green swirl rug and red painted furniture (without it looking like Christmas) in my nursery when I move my daughter to her "big girl" room. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Thank you, I remember loving that! I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I was about to order some fabric from Orient Textiles because it was half the price of my local retail shop, when my designer noticed it was "Seconds Quality" and said to stay away from that. I noticed this fabric is too. I don't know enough about fabrics, but just thought I'd point it out.

    I love all the colors and how they accent each other but yet stay pleasant to the eye. The fabric is such a wonderful surprise in Banks decorating. The white table with the fabric is wonderful!

    My local JoAnn's also carries this fabric in this colorway and one other. I love it as well!

    Would you know of any really good fabric stores in San Diego or Orange County CA, that aren't super expensive? There in Mood in Los Angeles, but that's a day trip, so just looking for something a little closer. When I can make it to LA, I want to go to Mood! Thank you!

    I think that fabric has been discontinued (?) but I found one with a similar vibe I really like. It's called Kiki Pinata, by Robert Allen, and it can be ordered from fabric.com for a relative song...

    I've loved this fabric forever... It's in my kitchen and dining room as window treatments and covering my barstools. However, the name I've always seen it under is 'Invigorate', on lots of different websites. I purchased mine from Fabricguru.com, and typing 'Richloom Invigorate' into a search engine turns it up at lots of places in several color choices.
