It's a backstory to design elements that enrich its value to me. This is because I firmly believe that as my blog profile states,
"I love rethinking the look of things. Bringing a little more story and personality into our homes. Loving the way we live. If it tickles your fancy, brings a flutter to your heart, or makes you feel like you just won the "finders-keepers" game of life then give it a place of honor in your home."
Kelly Wearstler's Channels pattern is one of these amazing design elements. Her design of this pattern fuses her interest in graphic street art with refined stripes, according to her website. What is it about graphic street art that tickles my fancy? There is so much to it - the bravery of the artist, the movement, the colors, and the chaotic yet seemingly planned presentation of the art on buildings and freight trains.
The Channels pattern is one that fits even the well planned interior. It seems to be that fun afterthought to scramble things up just a bit. I am loving all nine colorways of this pattern and love the dimension it brings when used on a ceiling!
It seems to be a great scarf that is paired with a classic trench coat. The comfortable loafer that feels like a slipper. And it tops my list of things I cannot wait to use on a project; the right project.
The embrace it gives a kitchen is racy and it will be the chair taken first when friends and family arrive. It's the wall or drapery panel that is caressed by the normally composed visitor when no one is looking. Why? Because this is what happens when a room holds the unexpected and "not for everyone" element inspired by the familiar.
Channels is one of those "wish I would of thought of using it first" design elements. An element that calls for breaking the rules of what defines traditional. It stirs the pot of branching out and expressing ourselves. All while maintaining simplicity.
Channel your inner love!
