Little Friends at the Farmhouse by natalia_gonzalez

Everyone pack your bags because we’re day-tripping to the wide open countryside for this week’s Modern Farmhouse Design Challenge. Iconic to the modern farmhouse style is the mainstay of cream as a thematic color choice which presents the perfect canvas for both neutrals and bold hues alike. It also provides the perfect slate for chickens as a design element, which you could not get enough of this week! Congratulations to grand prize winner natalia_gonzalez, who will be receiving a $200 Spoonflower credit for her design, Little Friends at the Farmhouse. We also tip our straw hats to second place (heleen_vd_thillart) and third place (torysevas) winners who will be receiving $100 and $50 in Spoonflower credit, respectively. Visit more winners from the farm in the entire top ten.

Year of the Rooster(y)

January 28, 2017

Happy Lunar New Year! According to Chinese zodiac, 2017 is the year of the rooster, more specifically the “Fire Rooster” which only comes around once every 60 years. Roosters are thought to be the “time keepers,” signaling when to start the day. They are the ambitious early risers, the hard working feathered friends of the zodiac. At Spoonflower, we feel 2017 is going to shape up to be the year of Roostery — our new sister brand that brings custom fabric to finished home goods. Today Kate from the Roostery team is stopping by the blog to share some of her favorite rooster themed Roostery products! Because what could be better than coming home to roost in a house full of rooster themed designs from Roostery? Okay now that was a tongue twister…

Red Hens by THREEBEARSPRINTS featured on a Roostery Maran slipper chair. Yes… we are aware of the anatomical differences between hens and roosters but these gals are still pretty swell.

Why did the pop art chicken cross the road?

April 19, 2013

As you may know, here at Spoonflower we've managed to run fabric design contests every week, without fail, for over four years without repeating a theme. The strain of coming up with new ideas for contests never shows, however, which is why we invite you — without comment, please — to vote now in our competition for chicken fabrics created in the style of the Pop Art movement.
