Chevron

The word chevron used to bring to mind  a gas station or maybe those puffy coats from when I was a kid that had the one large zig-zag stripe across the front, but, recently, my eyes have been opened to a whole new world of chevron.  The world that makes me want it in every room of my house.  I'm not quite sure if it's the vintage look of that design or that bold, modern presence it has in a room that makes me love it everytime I see it.

I'm ready to get some chevron somewhere in this house...well, I guess my baby girl does have those chevron leggings she wants to wear EVERY day. 

 I'll keep you posted because I think I'm seeing a chevron project in my very near future... : )

    I just got a chevron iphone case! I love it. Also, that coral pillow is my favorite. I think I need that in my house...

    I'm with you on the Etsy pillow! I love it (pink in general). You should go ahead and give it a go, and design a board on olioboard.com I'm sure it would be amazing. That first pic is so cheery.
