Best of Boston

Had there been a Fabric Place down the road from the von Trapp family, Maria could not only have outfitted those seven kids in patterns and colors more exciting than the bedroom drapes, but she could’ve consulted with an at-home decorator to replace the drapes themselves. Armed with “New England’s largest selection of in-stock drapery and upholstery fabrics,” as state in the brochure, the experienced, trained staff takes the fear out of decorating. There’s a reason why Fabric Place has won kudos from us in years past: Its selection is unparalleled.
