Decorating with 'Cottage' Checks!

[Ellene Meece]

I don't know about you, but nothing speaks of vintage cottage more than a check pattern fabric! Either on the window coverings or the furniture or just a touch with a throw pillow or tablecloth.

And....it can be gingham check, or buffalo check or plaid check...all lend the same homey, "cottagy" feel.

It can grace the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom or even the front porch.

The lovely fabric can be in any color to do it's magic: red/white, blue/white, green/white, black/white, pink/white and many more blends of color.

Check...Mate offers lots more decor ideas with 'Cottage' checks!

What's your favorite?

I love the idea of of the sheer material over the bold colored table cloth, it leaves just the right amount of red checks showing for a balanced red and white kitchen, giving it a softer, more lovely look.

I'm going.to.try this!

Love the green check in cottage decor! Note the green check in the cottage bathroom matching the green check bed skirt in the adjoining bedroom. Sweet.
