it's the summer of chevron...

you may be thinking of gas prices, but i'm talking about the ubiquitous pattern, which is one of my favorites (as you can see from the background).  here are a few rooms with a great chevron flair!



love the traditional Parisian chevron floors...don't you want to do a ballet leap in there?


An easy art project using canvas, a little tape, and some paint can spice up a dark corner...


check out this fabulous Chevron duvet cover at Urbanoutfitters.com for only $79!


living rooms - turquoise black and white chevron rug blue  Jonathan Adler
thank you Jonathan Adler for reading my mind about what to do in my next living room.  turquoise with black and white... drape a fur blanket or a mustard cashmere throw over the ottoman during the winter, and you're good to go year-round!

dining rooms - Chippendale Chair Herringbone Rug zigzag chevron rug turquoise blue silk drapes yellow faux bamboo chairs black doors white black yellow turquoise blue dining room
more brilliance from jonathan adler... pick up this rug at West Elm for under $500 in black or mustard. i want the runner for my galley kitchen!
 you can expect at least one pup in my posts... this design was hand-painted on an inexpensive IKEA rug.
living rooms - white gray canvas chevron herringbone zigzag art mosaic tiles fireplace espresso chunky floating shelves ivory red floral rug glossy black lacquer rectangular coffee table
another fabulous painted canvas! you could also staple some chevron fabric to a canvas frame and complete this project in about 10 minutes.  i love the contrast with a brightly colored rug.  (ashlee raubach photography)
