Styleicious Sunday: hopelessly in love with houndstooth

As I am preparing my apartment for my family to arrive this Christmas I am putting the finishing touches on a few things...
including my desk chair. Originally I was going to cover it with black and white striped velvet (so very parisian...) part of me is having second thoughts. I am having a houndstooth moment and I don't know if I can recover. I am just a smitten kitten with its chic-ness in fashion and in decor.
This chic woman just makes it look fabulous + so does an all white living room like below...
large scale houndstooth is pretty bangin' too...


so chic, no? should I do it?

I'm loving the houndstooth! I have a scarf in brown houndstooth and It's my go-to! I love the idea of the sofa and comfy chairs for the dining table. No more sore butts!
I love your blog!

Genuinely,

It's a fabric that looks good on everything... shoes, coat, chairs, cushions — All of it!

I am actually not a huge fan of the houndstooth! I think its beautiful, but i feel oh so strongly about black white striped velvet...if you don't use the fabric I will buy it from you haha!
Let us know what you choose :)

This print design is everywhere. Excellent idea. I love it must in the chairs.

Naomi@DesignManifest said...

I like it both when its large (on Blair) and teeny (on that last chair.)
I have a houndstooth rug and I find it's just a little bit too busy for my aesthetic. It's good if you want it to be the main pop in the room, but I think I'm too much of a maximalist!

houndstooth is great but i like more the stripes:)

Really pretty and sophisticated. Like the pale pink accent.

Lorena said...

The extra large houndstooth print is as good as it gets - it's a marvelous way to make a statement.
It's actually one of my faves on clothes too.

Well, what do you know? I'm in love with houndstooth too! Especially Blair's coat...I would wear that everywhere. Thanks for posting!
