GOTTA HAVE IT: CHINTZ

As I wrap up decorating details for the apartment, I keep pondering over one element that I just haven't found a place for yet... CHINTZ!

I want it, I need it, I gotta have it! I love the way it looks in the black and white curtains - a much more updated, modern feel, but I have also swooned forever over this little upholstered bench, which makes me think my little one (quite similar in size) may need a makeover.  If nothing else, I demand at least one chintz throw pillow for the sofa. Which would you choose?

  3. I'm having a similar love affair with the Dalston Rose fabric and wallpaper from House of Hackney - desperate to use it somewhere!

  4. Tough one! I would go for curtains.. or wallpaper if you have a walk-in-closet.

  6. I'm also very much in love with that pyne hollyhock print fabric and seriously considering making some pillows out of it for my shop :)

  7. I love me some chintz and definitely thinks it deserves a place in every home. I think a bench makeover is a great idea but if nothing else a few throw cushions would do the trick.
