Herringbone....Things I love.

"The herringbone  pattern is an arrangement of rectangles used for floor tiling's

 and road pavement, so named for a facilitated resemblance to the skeleton of a fish"

I've always loved design.  I remember being 6 or 7 and designing my own room.  As silly as it sounds I remember it in detail. It was a carousel bed, yes it was round, pink and white striped walls, all in pastels.  I think I could make it work today??  My Granddaughter is 5 and does the same thing. She even draws the rooms.  I know, I know she is a genius!  If she ends up being a designer, great, if not I just hope she does whatever she loves.


Speaking of design I just love herringbone.  Never dated, always classic and makes such a statement on a floor, back splash, pillow or even in knitting. I could spend hours going through Houzz and Pintrest and any other photos and I did. Herringbone can make any room interesting period. I mean the black and white below....Shut Up!  So if you are remodeling or building throw a little herringbone in.  If you cant do the floors in your whole house and need a way to transfer from strait to herringbone, border the room a few planks in.  Add a few pillows, a rug or even a chair if you aren't remodeling or building where floors are not an option.  Whatever option you chose you can miss with herringbone.  Have fun!

What a black and white herringbone floor?  Ahhh!

What, What. Love, love!

So cool to go from the floor strait up the wall.

Not my style but love the floors.

Throw a few herringbone pillows to your bedding.

Two of these chairs with a white sofa and bold rug.

I love the floor, guess Houzz loved the toaster?

Simplicity.

Add a throw on a solid sofa to bring a little herringbone in.

Cool tub, but lost me with concrete floors and the rug.

There is not an ounce of herringbone in this kitchen but I had to throw it in because I find it so interesting. 

So there is my designer two cents worth for today and there wasn't one swear word!  Well shit not until just now!
