So I might have a problem. I am obsessed with chevron. It all started when I recovered a chair last summer for my classroom in a yellow chevron print. It turned out super cute and I was in love from that point on! Now everytime I have to pick a fabric, print, etc., I go for the chevron. Just take a look at my most recent diy projects to see what I mean...
-My first project was a way to keep up with bill payments. I wanted to be able to have all of the due dates in one place. I remembered an adorable idea that a lot of teachers are using in their classrooms... using a frame as a dry erase board! So cute. So I made a printable {with a chevron background of course} that listed all of the bills that we have with room to write when each one is due. Then I put my new printable in a $3 frame {thank you Gardenridge!} and used a dry-erase marker to update my payment dates! Of course it helps that it turned out super cute with the chevron background and adorable fonts!

It is now hanging on the wall in our kitchen, easy to access, update, reference... |

-My second project was a print to go in our bedroom. That room still needs a lot of love, but it's coming along slowly! After my bill payment printable turned out so cute, I decided to make another printable to add some cuteness to our room. I figured this was a cheap way to have some art for our very blank walls! I found this verse on Pinterest a while back. It is just a portion of what Song of Solomon 3:4 says, but I really like this version ;) Again, I added a chevron background to my document and used some cute fonts to make a super cute printable! Z asked that I make the chevron print any color other than black {to save on the black ink} so I chose a soft blue. But when it was printed, you could not see the chevron at all. Well since I have some extra time on my hands right now, I decided just to color in the chevron print. Crazy I know. But I do love the way it turned out. Grey is possibly my favorite color right now, and chevron in my favorite pattern, so the combination=love!

I put the print in a silver-ish frame that I already had |

Sorry for the terrible pic, but I wanted to show what it looks like hanging in our room! |
So now you know about my obsession. I'm really wanting to make a few pillows with some chevron fabric. Or maybe curtains for the bedroom with grey chevron. Too much, no? I'm sure more diy projects to come ;)
