More widely known as herringbone,  the chevron print has become extremely popular and can be found practically anywhere, on practically anything.  I had always dreamed of one day having herringbone floors.  Seeing as how I have perfectly good hardwood floors (okay they may not be what I would have picked if I built our house, but with two kids and a dog there is no way we are refinishing them.)  I digress..  for now I can get snippets of chevron everywhere I look, and at every price range.  I would LOVE to have a pair of curtains in Rubie Green’s East Village in Raspberry, but for now, I will settle for the Ellie bag, at $24.

Desperately Seeking Suzani.

Suzani


(also siuzane), an embroidered decorative panel of white, more rarely, colored, cotton fabric or silk, widely used for interior decoration by the peoples of Tadzhikistan and Uzbekistan. Characteristic designs for a suzani are rosettes, floral motifs, birds, and ancient magical symbols.

The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition (1970-1979).


I can’t stop thinking about that gorgeous Donghia Suzani print that Rita St. Clair used in the Family Room at the WDC. In my opinion, this is a trend is not going away anytime soon. I think it’s a great fabric to put in my guest bedroom (when I can acquire the funds to redo it.)

If you can’t afford to wear her designs on your back, perhaps you may be able to afford a few for your sofa. Some of these prices are a deal, some are still a bit steep. Nonetheless, residential beauty will cost a little less… (In this case, at least.)
