Melinamade!? Is that really you?

last year

I purchased your fabric many years ago and had I known you would stop making it, I would have stocked up! Is there any way you can be begged or bribed to start manufacturing your glorious barkcloth again ? There are oodles of people that would be thrilled !! Other than original yours is the best but it’s so hard to find. #nothingcomparestoyou

Melinamade - Residential Design + Interiors

Hi Dee! Yep, it's melina of 'ole Melinamade Fabrics.

I sold that leg of my business back in 2007 and then the gal who purchased it closed it down 5 years later. It was just not a financially sustainable business AT ALL. A labor of love. My husband is the hand screen printer who used to do all my fabric printing and we re-used the screens one last time for one-off custom work for an interior design client of mine back in 2014. However, the screens have long been stripped and films destroyed. It is not possible to ever make my fabrics again sadly as the hand-screen print company has closed down there business as well. The craft is a dying art! They were the last standing production hand-screen company in the US. Thanks for your continued interest and reaching out however! My focus is still on Mid Century--architecture and interiors

Squeal !!!! I feel like I’m talking to a MC celebrity designer. Oh if you were still in biz I would have your fabric on every window !!! ( we just found our dream home. - a 1960 time capsule ranch) So happy to hear you are still designing and that you are still loving Mid Century. Your reply motivated me to finally get to my project and refurbish my cosco chair. It’s been on my gotta do list forever and I just had to show you. Look your fabric lives on. Lol. Covered with clear vinyl for protection since it cannot ever be replaced. #trixiethe60sranch

David - Thanks! Appreciate that you even drew out the plan. :) You are absolutely right, it's been difficult finding an optimum layout. In fact, our current layout is more or less the same as your plan. Would you have chosen different furniture - a smaller sofa or a different dining table perhaps? (Also, I'm curious: is there a good reason why the architect had the pillar like that?) Mona - Do you mean having a buffet at the entry? I currently do have a sideboard, though it wouldn't fit at the entry - it's about 67" wide by 18" deep. It's currently placed in the middle of the long wall. There's actually still sufficient clearance between it and the 3-seater sofa in David's plan. plague - The household shelter is a local (Singapore) building requirement. Its walls are reinforced and is meant to be a shelter in times of emergency. It can't be removed, and any renovations carried out cannot affect its integrity (there is a list of permitted and prohibited works). Normally it is just used as a pantry or storeroom.

Such different styles for different usage but I vote A as I love that more seemless indoor outdoor experience and the way curtains can just break up the indoor and outdoor sitting areas

Artificial turf! The green (they come in different colours, too, if you'd like to be psychedelic) adds a lively pop of colour to a blah space, and they're designed in easy-to-install tile-style units that have some built-in drainage for minimal maintenance. Absolut Outdoors and Green Turf can tell you more :) And I'd hang an outdoor art piece or a screen for air plants on that blank wall, too, to enliven your balcony.

Forget about fake plants. It will just be a dust magnet. Plus, the toxin release from the plastic and adhesive is not the idea of green after all. But then again, planting on walls indoor is a big commitment. You need to be very sure as it does require quite a lot of care, especially if the area is low on natural light. You may need plant lightings. Start small, like what I did with a photo frame size. Outdoor is easy, I have one at the balcony, where water is not a problem and ample sun lights. Both DIY project. Did not cause me an arm or leg.
