There are a few weeks in early spring when sunshine mercilessly spotlights the wine stains on your sofa and the tatters in your drapes. That's when thousands of home improvers trek to Designer Fabrics' orange horizon. Anyone who's ever been a bridesmaid, renovated a living room or inherited something in chintz has schlepped out to its only location, on a sad-sack stretch of Queen Street West near Lansdowne. (Like a pearl found in a gritty oyster, DF's off-the-beaten address only adds to its allure.)
