SEEING STRIPES

DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS MAKES ME REALIZE I AM NOT READY FOR THE INEVITABLE WINTER THAT IS QUICKLY APPROACHING.  SO WHAT DO I DO TO MENTALLY STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING?  SHOP ONLINE DEALS FOR OUTDOOR FURNITURE, OF COURSE!  I HAVE BEEN WANTING AN AMAZING SET OF FRENCH BISTRO CHAIRS AND I THINK NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO BUY THEM.  

BEFORE I BEGIN ANY SEARCH FOR A CERTAIN PIECE OF FURNITURE, I ALWAYS NEED THE PERFECT IMAGE TO GET INSPIRATION.  THIS IS WHAT I CAME ACROSS TODAY TO KICK OFF MY CHAIR HUNT:

I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOULD BE SURPRISED THAT I PICKED OUT STRIPED BISTRO CHAIRS.  MY EYES ARE ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY DRAWN TO STRIPES.  I LOVE THE WAY THE LINES CAN ADD AN ELEMENT OF SURPRISE IN ANY ROOM.  HERE ARE SOME IDEAS YOU CAN USE FOR INSPIRATION TO TRANSFORM YOUR SPACE:

ARE YOU A COMMITMENT PHOBE?  START SMALL AND SWAP OUT YOUR SHOWER CURTAIN.

NEED AN EVEN SMALLER COMMITMENT THAN THE SHOWER CURTAIN? TOSS A STRIPED PILLOW ON A CHAIR.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF HAVING STRIPED WINDOW TREATMENTS.  THESE ADD A LITTLE "SOMETHING" TO THIS MONOCHROMATIC ROOM.

ADDING STRIPES TO A CEILING IS A FUN AND UNEXPECTED WAY TO MAKE THE SPACE UNIQUE!
