Well folks, I am off to the D.C. Design House today but I wanted to spend a little time on something that I think about often. Chintz. Floral chintz to be exact. Chintz is actually any glazed cotton but its name has become synonymous with these classic florals.
I almost used a floral chintz in my living room but it would not look right in my house. It would read "silly in suburbia" instead of "eclectic, classic estate."

I have several ideas for when I win the lottery and buy a grand estate in horse country.

Honestly, I had an inspiration board all planned out in my head but try to find a chintz chair for sale. Seriously, try and tell me where you found it. I looked but if you read yesterday's post you know I looked when I should have been doing something else.
Would you risk looking "Granny" with a floral print?
Stop by tomorrow for Design House pictures.
Chintz can look perfect in the right spaces and horrid in the wrong ones!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where the "chair" you are looking for is?
I can't imagine how you would loose it living in your peaceful dull life!!!!!!!!!
It's a fine line between chic and granny when it comes to chintz kerry. But I think the bigger and the smallest prints, avoid being egranny-ish. Did you try searching for floral chair instead? Ok, I know your busy enough but if you do have the time... ;-)
