Crazy for Chevron

I have a new design obsession: Chevron anything! I seriously want to use the pattern everywhere, from pillows to furniture, but right now I am really craving a chevron rug for our living room. We have been needing a rug for quite a while now, and I think the chevron pattern will be just the thing to offset some of the more traditional pieces in the room. I will post pictures once I actually have the rug, but for now here are some of the amazing interiors that have inspired my desire for chevron.

Yes, that is my chair fabric! Now I know the patterns will look great together! 

Love all of the graphic patterns in this room

Mixing black and blue

I'll take two of these, please!

Take me to New Orleans!

Ok, so this blog is supposed to be about design, and I may be veering off subject just a tad with this post, but I really feel the need to talk about how excited I am for my perfectly DESIGNED Bachelorette Party! This weekend my bridesmaids and I will be heading to one of my favorite places in the world- New Orleans! This place is great for so many reasons. I love the people, the architecture, the food, and the easy-going-fun-having feeling you get from the moment you arrive. New Orleans also has some of the most amazing artists you can find, and each time I go I try to bring back a little something to incorporate into my home. I love bringing pieces back from a great trip because they always remind you of those memories and the people you were with. I cant wait to see what I find this weekend-and if I win big at Harrah's, I promise you it will all go towards artwork! Now it is time for me to share with you some pictures of the things I am most excited to see this weekend, I hope it inspires you to incorporate your love of traveling into your home!

Beautiful Artwork!

I could spend all day (and a fortune) looking at this!

Beignets! Yum!

And Pat O'Brien's - my favorite courtyard spot

with my favorite New Orleans drink-the hurricane!
