Although I am always a fan of going for unique when it comes to interior design, there are some trends that suck me in so deep I simply can't get enough. Suzani, lacquer and sunburst mirrors are just a few, but the pattern that I think I will be forever head over heels for is chevron. Thick, thin, black and white or neon yellow, I am completely smitten and can't wait until I have a chevron floor one day. The BEST part of this pattern is that not only does it look fab on walls, ceilings, drapes, chairs, doors and pillows, but you can smack it on a wedding cake, shower invitation or any item of clothing. Sign me up! And p.s. can we please just talk for a second about the cookies image at the very bottom?! I think a chevron party is in major order....rsvp asap and I'll get planning!
{this one is my FAVORITE}
I haven't been able to satisfy my chevron obsession either! God,help my home decor when this subsides!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite patterns, too! I happen to think it's classic :) I painted the front of my dresser drawers chevron in gray last fall. Still makes me smile to wake up to each morning! That yellow runner is magical.
ReplyDeletethis pattern is crazy!! hahaha. among the images here, my fave would be the one with the black and white curtains and red and white walls. i really love it
ReplyDeleteI agree! Beth and I are hosting a chevron baby shower in April... black and white chevron with touches of gold and coral... will send a pic!!! xo
ReplyDeleteSheridan,
ReplyDeleteCheck out the chevron floor in the Brooklyn Heights home featured on today's elementsofstyleblog post. http://www.elementsofstyleblog.com/
Kathy thank you for sharing - what a gorgeous home!!!! LOVE those floors and about a billion other things in that place.
ReplyDeleteNP, Sheridan.
ReplyDeleteAD magazine featured another drool-worthy home last week (also posted on EOS): Brook Shields's Greenwich Village townhouse: http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/homes/2012/03/brooke-shields-new-york-city-townhouse-slideshow#slide=1
Prepare to freak.
I'm still swooning over the dining room and the orange suede chair in the guest BR. I've got to hand it to Brooke, if that chair were in my house, my kids would have smeared it with God-knows-what by now.
I love those mustard chevron shams 3rd from the bottom, and I KNOW I've seen them before but can't remember where! Who designed them?
ReplyDeleteThe image is from Coastal Living magazine. The fabric is Quadrille. I found a less expensive version here: http://www.kastfabrics.com/view-item.php?book_name=CAPE%20COD%20011&pattern=SO1301&color_code=BEAC

ReplyDeleteReally I checked your site to see if you had posted about your little blip in this month's Traditional Home. I was seriously as excited for you as I would have been for one of my real life girlfriends! Congrats to you :)
