Its a buffalo check stampede......



Good morning to you! Yay, its the weekend! What are you up to? We have a party, a few games, and driving to Pennsylvania early Sunday.  Hope you read all about my exciting Homegoods news and the fabulous $500 giftcard giveaway, if not click here to be eligible, you don't want to miss out! Thanks for all of your kind messages, it was  an exciting and flattering validation of what I do, so thank you Homegoods!  I will announce a winner on Monday morning.



Funny I was never a huge check kind of girl. But somehow over the years, they have really grown on me. I mean REALLY grown on me. Thanks Charles Faudree and Bunny and Carolyn and countless other talented designers who have made me a convert.   I think the first time I fell in love with a room was one in Charles's books...of a gorgeous room filled with buffalo checked covered furniture. It was so charming, warm  yet sophisticated, my favorite look. 

Since then I an consistently drawn to the versatile, always elegant yet inviting look of buffalo checks. There are so many ways to use them, in all the many colors.....how about you? Do you like them? Have you decorated with them? Would you? I used a smaller buffalo check in my back powder room and have a chair in my living room in buffalo check silk. Today's a tribute to this wonderful print.......what do you think? Let me know! Feast your eyes on these........


Charm galore! Patricia Fisher designed this wondeful breakfast setting

How charming is this kitchen? Its a love for me!

Love Joy Tribaut's take on buffalo checks...so fresh and sophisticated!

Even in a most formal room such as this one in a Maurice Fatio home, the mini check is very much at home!

Meg Braff used a green buffalo check in this gorgeous living room in fresh green.

They work beautifullly in a tonal bedroom....very soothing and tranquil. Pinterest

Love the gorgeous palette here.....

Gorgeous warm breakfast room/library of warm woods features them, Colefax and Fowler

Love the mix of patterns here, a fun, masculine and elegant room, Emily Jenkins Followhill

What an inviting space. I could easily flop down here with my cup of coffee and a great book...yes please!

Leave it up to Cathy Kincaid to find a way to use checks to perfection...love her work!

Toni Gallagher used them sparingly in this charming kitchen....loving that blue and white!

Its a great look for boys rooms, masculine and classic RH

I think they are so beautiful when mixed in with other fabrics and prints, Shabby Chic

Love the combination of buffalo checks and transferware....perfection! Southern Accents

Gorgeous in navy! (2 interior design)

Even a single chair with the check has such impact!

We have a silk buffalo checked chair in our formal living room and it looks right at home!

Jeff Lincoln is obviously a fan......

Beautiful in this tone on tone living room by Joy Tribaut
Something about crisp white with the blue and white buffalo check is so fresh!
