ROOM IN CHECK - ROOM TO LOVE 2.21.14

Am a huge fan of fabric covered upholstered walls...am also a huge fan of anything in a gingham check.  Imagine my delight when I found this little gem of a room...where everything from walls, to windows, to furniture is covered in a black and white gingham check.  Sounds like it would be too overwhelming...but in reality it looks so cute and cozy.

Note to self (and TE)...in future, take a small room and go completely gingham style!

Design non-sequitur...found this adorable knit top and skirt by Narciso Rodriguez to match the room.  Camouflage of sorts for a gingham check room!

P.S.  Just realized I still haven't shared photos from last weekend in Ojai with my guy TE.  Will get to it  this weekend or next week!

GINGHAM STYLE WITH PRADA - FASHION FORWARD

Gingham, vichy, check...I don't care what you call it...I love it in home decor and in fashion. Now, this fall, Prada has brought the classic gingham to the runway with a slew of stylish dresses and coats. I want. Hello. Gingham is so classic but yet fresh to me. Any time I see it used in home decor I stop...and whenever anyone is wearing gingham, I have to comment.

For the 2014 COCOCOZY home furnishings collection, I designed my own take on a gingham check. You will have to wait and see.

In the meantime, enjoy all things gingham...upholstered furniture, checkered walls, vichy drapes, check chic Prada dresses and more.
