Obsessing Over Chevron

I love pattern… mod, traditional & eclectic. I love styling a space with great pattern, but my latest love is the chevron pattern.

It’s simple, yet sophisticated layout has been around for years and can be seen in architecture and textiles, and after it was down and out for awhile, its back and better than ever! With its recent return, the “new” chevron is more modern and bold, taking on a life of its own and making quite the statement. It’s fresh and fun!

I really want to incorporate a few pops of this fun pattern in our casa, so I went on a quick virtual search for inspiration…

Fabulous or what? Love, love, love.

On my way to adding some chevron into our home, I found a few items you may like too…

I have a few Chevron DIY projects happening & I am eyeing some other home decor accessories… I will keep you updated as I figure out which one’s make the ‘must have’ list. Do you have a trend obsession right now? Is is Chevron or maybe a grouping of colors? How about gallery walls? Let us know… I love to know what you all are loving these days…

    I am loving Chevron too. I want to add it into my living room but not sure how. Have any suggestions if I want to add a little hint?

      Sarah… I am loving it too! It really stems from Architectural history and the herringbone pattern which is really dramatic and eye catching. If you want subtle hints, try adding a few prints to the space. Or a few decorative pillows and some drapes. Maybe a table cloth? Let me know what you decide to do!

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
