CHEVRON LOVE

I know its not just me who adores a little chevron pattern... I've been seeing it EVERYWHERE lately! There is so much attitude and elegance that the chevron pattern demands, you can't help but smile when you see it used. It can completely change the look of a neutral room with just a pop of pattern, or enhance a dramatic space even more when mixed with other textile patterns.

So what do you think? What is your favorite use of chevron whether it be on your floors, ceiling (my fave), your back splash, etc?

PIXELIMPRESS ON ETSY

It's no secret I am in love/obsessed with chevron patterns. Take a look at this blog, they are everywhere. Come into my house and you will find a 8x10 foot chevron area rug in my living room. By next week, I will have chevron euro pillows on my bed (shipping across the country as we speak). Ask me for my business card, and get one of these:

{of course in my favorite color and font}

I would love to give a huge, "THANK YOU" to Seattle based pixelimpress on etsy for these 'seriously cute' chevron business cards! I had been looking for something a bit more colorful and fun and when I came across her work, I just HAD to have them. She offers them on her etsy shop in a square size, but I wanted a traditional business card size which she was happy to switch to.


The color palette she works with are all equally beautiful and I LOVE that you can mix and match the color of your chevron stripe with the color of your font. When I run out and need to order more, I think I will do a play with tone on tone for a dramatic look.
Here is a little more information on pixelimpress:

"I love paper. I love patterns and colors. I love modern and traditional. I love trying to find the unexpected yet beautiful way of mixing all of the above to create a look that's unique. You can email me at pixelimpress [!at] yahoo.com." In researching her, I found she keeps a blog too! Please visit her awesome blog for some wonderful posts and to see more of her incredible work.
