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!

  • Shout out for National Pet Day to Finley who came at the perfect time to bring our family joy! After losing our beloved Bentley, I really thought I wouldn’t want another dog for awhile. Just about a month later last fall, this precious Mini Goldendoodle captured my heart from @d_shalom_goldendoodles! To say we are in love with him would be an understatement! He is super sweet, smart and just the best! Love his little heart shaped nose! #nationalpetday #minigoldendoodle #goldendoodle Dog bed from @tjmaxx . . . #lakewoodranch #bestdog #beatdogever #furbabies #dogbed #bohodog #sarasota #dogsofinstagram

  • Miss Lilah Chapel danced beautifully in her very first dance recital! I enjoyed every second and might have shed a few tears! She stepped out on stage and starting waving at me, pointing telling everyone I was her mommy and saying hi! The music came on and I was watching this beautiful girl I had prayed and dreamt about twirl around. I was instantly overcome with emotion and gratitude! God surely is so good! . . . #lakewoodranch #woodlandfineartsacademy #dancerecital #ballerina #ballerinasofinstagram #sweetgirl #danceforjesus #dancingforjesus
