The Bold and The Beautiful

Does anyone else suffer from compulsive redecorating disorder? If you don't, consider yourself lucky. It's an evil, mind-altering disease that convinces you major overhauls need to take place within your home when everything is just fine the way it is.

Take, for example, my latest plague, the chevron stripe. The chevron rugs from Jonathan Adler (pictured above) have been a long-time favorite of mine. Two large dogs with muddy paws have deterred me from purchasing said rug but now I torment myself by looking for alternative ways to use the pattern.

It all started with me considering the purchase of the West Elm Chevron Printed Window Panel for my third bedroom.

But then I saw this picture of a gorgeous chevron striped chair in one heck of a sweet space.

Chevron rugs are great...

But chevron floors are more durable against claws and mud...

There is the occasional chair...

But the pillows are just as sweet and maybe more versatile...

Or you can always simplify and go with a great plate...

Then I snapped out of my chevron haze to realize I already own several chevron striped beauties- this pillow...

And these chairs, which I recovered myself!

So maybe I have a little bit of a head start, but I still think there's a bit more room for chevrons in my future...
