NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S TABLECLOTH!

Let's start off with the oh-so fabulous Naomi Stein of Design Manifest. Her suzani covered table looks incredible with the chevron covered bamboo chairs!

A softer and layered suzani vibe.

This kilm adds color and personality to this otherwise neutral nook.

We can't leave chevron out...

Aerin Lauders's dining table covered in zebra is both elegant and dramatic!

Classic and tailored 

Greek key & look at that stitching!

Ombre! OH HAPPY DAY has a great DIY to help us make our own.

I have a feeling we will be elbow deep in dye very soon!

So, if you are in the market for a new dining table but just can't afford to buy it yet, how about one of these tablecloths to update your space in the meantime?

Heck, with the looks of these, who needs to see the dining table anyway?!

COLORFUL STYLE!

Both of my girls asked to have their rooms re-decorated for their birthdays this year.  Of course, I jumped at this idea (I think it is more of a present for me!) and have been playing with different colors and designs for the past few weeks! I am starting with my youngest daughter's room who just turned eight this February.  She has such grand visions of what she wants her room to look like!  From hanging beds to massive built in structures, she knows exactly what she wants in her room.  We have had to make a few design compromises but I think we are now on the same page.  A few weeks ago she came into my room and complained that she was having a hard time falling sleep because she could not stop thinking about decorating her bedroom-she is definitely my child! We decided to use purple, pink and orange throughout the room..BOOM SHAKA-LAKA- LAKA! Take a look at some of the fabric combinations I put together so far. 

LOVE LIST #1

I cannot seem to stay away from chevron!  There is something about that bold zig-zag pattern that makes my heart sing! I really think the bright purple polka dots will be that added splash of color in the room that will make it pop.

LOVE LIST #2

I am inspired by the bohemian look of these fabrics!  I had my fingers crossed hoping she would like the ikat print and she loved it! Yippee!!  
A girl after my own heart~!

LOVE LIST #3

I think these fabrics have more of a feminine and playful side to them, and I love the way the stripes and florals work together. 

This is where I am right now....could change by the minute!  What are your favorites?
