All About Looks

 

Monday we all got the chance to visit the All About Looks fabric store located off of Buddy Holly, somewhere I had never been. When you first walk in, you see fabric and drapery accessories covering every inch of every wall (it is a very small place downtown), and tons of different types of upholstered furniture both to show off the fabric and to give us a place to sit while listening to one of the owners while she gives us tons of information on fabric. It was really nice to walk into an actual home decor fabric store for once, here in Lubbock its slim pickins for that market.

 

Here is one of the walls of the shop, thats displays some drapery trim and a few different fabris, I love the section of the exposed brick!

 

 

We learned tons of new stuff from one of the owners like how they got started, the kind of services they do and how they run everything. Then, she talked to us about different types of fabrics that are in style, motorized shades and things like that. She then took us to their sewing workroom that contained a big table to cut and sew fabrics and a board to hang them up and see how they look. After that we were directed into their upholstery room. It had half upholstered furniture everywhere, foam and batting and parts of furniture were scattered around the floor. Tons of really awesome vintage pieces that they had gotten in auctions or  at discount were awaiting to be reupholstered and made beautiful again.

I really enjoyed my visit to All About Looks, I recieved a ton of information, got to look through some really awesome fabrics of great quality and even recieved some free samples that they gave out of discontinued fabrics for future projects. It is definitely a breath of fresh air for Interior Design in good ol' Lubbock!
