So, how about you – are you mad for plaid like me?
I love plaid!! It may be “in” this year but I think it’s timeless! I really like the idea of covering your books — Is that paper or fabric?
Hi Marisa. The blog that I pulled this idea from says that it’s paper that they wrapped the books in and applied ModPodge to. You’re right – it’s hard to tell from the photo if it’s paper or fabric. And I agree with you – plaid is timeless.
I love plaid during the Christmas season. Those sheep are so funny!
I thought so too, Penny. What a crazy idea! Wonder if anyone really did that.
I love touches of plaid, Suzy! It is such a classic and timeless pattern. My hubby has been noticing all of the plaid shirts for men in department stores recently. In fact, he bought several yesterday! It has emerged as a hot fashion trend this season; but, it’s always been in style!
You’re right, Shenita – plaid is one of the few classics that never seems to go out of style. I’m old enough to remember the old flannel plaid shirts from the 70’s. They were a hot item!
I love plaid too! I love all these ideas, especially the table lamp! So cute!
Thanks for stopping by, Maria. Glad to “meet” another plaid lover!
How fun. I love that plaid lampshade, way too cute. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me.
