Happy Monday everyone.

This week I have some Pantone chevron iPhone wallpapers for you since I’m very in love with all things Pantone lately. There’s grey 9083U, turquoise 9501U, orange 9221U, rose 9262U, green 9563U and a rainbow of all colors together.

Looks good on the phone, right?!

Have an awesome week, y’all!

Yeah.. I know. Chevrons are everywhere this year but I always need some time to fall in love with a design and Chevrons a really kinda stinking fabulous. I say now that I’ve seen them long enough to believe that they would fit great to our apartment.

So here’s what happened. This morning I received the newsletter from Hawthorne Treads – a fabric store I love and where I bought all fabrics for my chevron quilt (that is still lying there waiting to be finalized… argh). There they had a little picture of a little purse by Octopurse that I fell in love with and that made me decide to finally give in the urge to add some chevrons to our home.

3 clicks and a Paypal bill later I had this Anne Kelle Remix fabric and two more yards from Paula Prass.

I want to make some pillow covers for our couch that still needs some color and maybe something for the table. Let’s see.

While I was all caught up with this pattern I remembered a tutorial from Dana Made It that I once found in which you can make your own chevron fabric with striped fabric.

I think it’s a bit time consuming but I love the result a lot as it has this patchworked look and feel which I really like. Of course you can buy ready made fabric but this is a nice alternative though you have to be precise while sewing.

Another tutorial that I LOVE is the DIY chevron rug. Miggy needed a rug for the nursery and made one herself. Made of a cheapo white rug and painted with house paint.  Gosh… makes me want to paint. Anything!!

The result is just fantastic. The worn out style and the color combination rocks!

And there is one more: chevrons on canvas! Yay! Jess from Make under my life painted canvas with gold chevrons. Beautiful art! I see a big one of those (3 x 3 meters) in our living room. Maybe not gold. Taupe? Yes.

Though I’m almost a year behind I’m still glad to have found something that I really like to enhance our home. Our place is still a bit “under-styled”. I don’t want to paint the walls as it’s such a huge place and not ours so I we would have to paint it white again as soon as we move out and I really don’t want to bother. So I think a little rug here, a nice painting there and some pillow covers can do the job, too. I’ll keep you posted!
