Buffalo Check And Chintz!

For a while check and chintz was thought of as too preppy and a bit pretentious. I personally always loved it and used it for many years here and there in design. I love the resurgence of this lovely fabric  and how the bold new colors and scale have made it user friendly and fun! I am toying with big red buffalo check bedding for a girl's room design with a little apple green and a complementary fabric thrown in, will share when done.  Are you happy to see check and chintz back in design? I don't really think they ever truly left.

  4. I think they are classics. I have always loved buffalo check and you just reminded me that I bought black buffalo check fabric for my laundry room sink with plans to make a sink skirt...I should do that one of these days...
