Racing Stripes

If you're like me, your inbox is flooded on a daily basis with retail email pitches of new products, sales, and deals that amount to a major time suck of perusing, deleting.... and, I'll be honest, sometimes buying.

This beauty, from Serena and Lily,  arrived in my inbox yesterday, and was worth a second look...


I just love the bold racing stripe, paired with the classic and comfy looking shape...


The Miramar Racing Stripe chair comes in navy as well - would be perfect for a beach house...


I've been noticing, and loving, the racing stripe look on furniture lately, starting with this piece of gorgeousness from Chairloom....


Here's the before and after....


...and the backside; so striking, right?


This chair pairs the stripe with contrasting piping, which is a nice detail...

The concept works on a simple slipper chair, too....

The bold stripe look works on other pieces of furniture, too, like this settee from Hickory Chair...


... and on Kate Spade's headboard (hey look, she lets her husband drink in bed!)...


Here's a shot without Mr. Spade....


Can't wait to use this look on a project soon!
