shimmery, subdued and playful

Yes, all of these adjectives describe the versatile feeling that can be added to a space with stripes. They can create a casual and playful look when in all the colors of the rainbow...

As subdued and sophisticated look when a mix of cool grays and white.

And they can even add glamour when they are in the form of the shimmery stripes of a moroccan wedding blanket--whether on the wall, tossed on a chair or as a floor covering of a luxurious bathroom.

What is your favorite style of stripe? Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. The county fair is the weekend so I think I will be embracing my inner cowgirl!

Its a toss up between the stripes on the floor and the stripes on the pillow on the deck. They both give a calming vibe. I think I'm feeling them the most because its still morning and I'm half asleep;) Great post, I love how stripes can be used to show various feelings.

I definitely fit into the bright, cheerful stripe category. Have fun at the fair. I got attacked by a hungry goat two weekends ago. I'm still emotionally recovering from the experience.

I love the grey and white striped couch- so elegant yet modern. Also the bathroom with the tin tub and chandelier- genius.

Ooh, I love the colorful kitchen at the top. The big windows and yellow walls are cheerful and inviting.
If I had to pick one pattern to live with for the rest of my life, I think it would be stripes. I love them that much. These are some beautiful, beautiful examples. I love them all!
