Crazy for Chevron

Posted 05/12/2011 by Kate in Crafts, Decor, Inspiration \ 1 comment

I’m a loud-mouthed, legally blonde, wannabe writer, enjoying life in the Big D with my new, sweet husband and our errant terrier, The Boom. My passion for gorgeous footwear, wine and cheese, heinous reality television, and pretty paper colors the “pages” of my personal blog Elefantitas Alegres. You can also find me moonlighting as Fashionista Vista – otherwise known as my attempt to make the world a smidge more fashionable, one online purchase at a time!

In the midst of figuring out how in tarnation to deck out and cozy up our new living room, I find myself having a Major Chevron Moment.

If unleashed and unchecked, I fear my Inner Pattern Hoarder might go hog wild on chevroned rugs, upholstery, pillows, and knick-knacks…

… However, I do think some large-scale DIY canvases over our new sectional might wet my chevron whistle without going overboard — or over budget!

But back in Dream Land, there’s always the rest of Casa Nueva about which to fantasize…  I mean, surely my kitchen backsplash, staircase, and bathroom tile deserve a makeover too!

And while we’re at it, my closet could always use a little pick-me-up…

What about you?  Are you crazy for chevron?  Infatuated with ikat?  Smitten with quarterfoils? Do you think these bold geometric trends will stand the test of time?  Or are you already craving new home decor eye-candy?

we heart your comments!
  1. I have some major love for chevron rugs. And have been pondering those DIY canvases – you have to share if you make one.
