Plaid Madness.. Feeling Fall

source

I woud never ever wish away summer.

Love the sunshine and the warmth, the time with my kiddies..

but ever since I saw this sofa in Lonny

I've been daydreaming about plaid. And fall.

Just discovered it's from Anthropologie - of course!

If anyone could goad me into desiring the return of cooler days, it would be them :)

the plaid madness ensues..

a quick fix:

one of the best kept secrets north of the border, Joe Fresh Clothing - 

designed by Joseph Mimram, the man who gave Club Monaco it's signature style.

This line is available at my local grocery store - which sometimes makes the grocery budget swell!

Not too much, though these trousers are only $39!

Ralph Lauren always gets plaid right..

How about plaid on an upcycled ottoman?

an easy DIY from instructables

Love the fanciful feel of mix-and-match plaids..

just a touch of tartan may do..

The Ace Hotel in NYC sharing the love..

I admit, it's not just the plaid I love here - check out their hip loft suite..

Amidst this tartan sea.. I had a realization:

Black Watch Tartan has navy, black and green - the colors of my home.

After searching for a slightly subdued pattern, incorperating those colors,

 for living room and dining room window panels for several months -

I have a had a eureka moment!

Off to the fabric store today to have a closer look and get some samples..

What do you think of plaid?

Would you use it in your space?

Maybe in smaller doses :)
