I have a chevron pattern on two chairs in my kitchen, love them. I had put the same fabric into a curtain in the kitchen and that lasted a week. For my nursery, I only have one chevron crib sheet in grey and white. I think the bright colors over due it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes/page/2#post-806629 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:32:09 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 806629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a chevron rug under our dining room table that DH picked. I gave him a bunch of geometric patterns to choose from, and he liked the chevron the best. </p> <p>I see it a lot online, but not in real life. We get comments on the rug about how "unique" it is. </p> <p>I get annoyed at the fashionable names. I kind of miss when it was just called "zig zag". (Or "ombre" was called a gradation.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes/page/2#post-806585 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:16:25 +0000 ShootingStar 806585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually like chevron. But then I'm not on Pinterest or decorating sites that much, and the only thing I've seen with it in real life is some baby bedding and a rug at PBK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806580 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:14:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 806580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it online more than in person, I do have a couple chevron pillows on my couch and I still love those! But I wouldn't do a wall in it since I think I would get sick of it. My sister just did her nursery wall in it, and it's a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806577 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:10:57 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 806577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like chevron in muted colors - like white and a really light blue grey - or in a really bright color but in small doses. At first I was the opposite. I hated it, couldn't understand the charm, but then I saw it used in some nurseries and homes in subtle or interesting ways. </p> <p>I would love to own a little chevron in my life. Like a crocheted blanket. Hmm... Rainbow chevron anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806562 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:59:35 +0000 maybebaby 806562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, still love it! A big component of LO's nursery is chevron :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806343 Fri, 24 May 2013 01:27:31 +0000 Running Elley 806343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also don't see it used a lot IRL so I don't mind it :) I wouldn't use it in my own home decorating though. I'd wear it in an accessory, like a scarf or a pair of flats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806333 Fri, 24 May 2013 00:57:07 +0000 shopaholic 806333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: ditto! Love it for packaging and paper stuff!</p> <p>We have a chevron throw for the nursery and a chevron bib. I think it's really cute but totally overdone on Pinterest. But agree I don't see it IRL too often and eventually it will no longer be a fad, but the design is a classic. Like leopard, Greek key, stripes...trends come and go but these striking graphics will always have lasting power. Now the mustache thing will not. Lol but I think it's cute for baby boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806299 Fri, 24 May 2013 00:07:00 +0000 tysonja 806299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i still love it on clothing and will buy cheap fashion pieces with it, but am a little more wary of decorating my home with it, because that's more permanant for me :). still love it for packaging/paper/etc! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806292 Thu, 23 May 2013 23:59:11 +0000 MamaMagpie 806292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still like it, but like some pp I don't see it too much IRL but definitely a lot on Pinterest! I will use it in LO's nursery in smaller doses that aren't too big of investments </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806284 Thu, 23 May 2013 23:52:20 +0000 HLK208 806284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it in moderation - as in very moderate. I would never wear it, have it in my home etc. but a few accessories here and there, no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806214 Thu, 23 May 2013 22:28:10 +0000 photojane 806214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! I guess I don't see how stripes can be "overdone" - chevron has been around for a long time. I'm not a fan of pattern overkill, but I definitely like chevron stripes in small doses. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806203 Thu, 23 May 2013 22:21:30 +0000 keiki_mama 806203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-806201 Thu, 23 May 2013 22:20:49 +0000 SAHM0811 806201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was never a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805819 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:18:59 +0000 Freckles 805819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm tired of seeing it everywhere too. I have one chevron pillow that i bought 2 years ago, but that's it! It's nice in small doses, but chevron overload sometimes makes my head hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805761 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:06:57 +0000 lawbee11 805761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's cute but it's everywhere, so I am over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805736 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:03:15 +0000 Boogs 805736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it online more than in real life to be honest. I like it in small doses, like LO has a chevron sheet. I just like a variety of patterns, polka dots, stripes, chevron, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805438 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:10:48 +0000 knittylady 805438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805435 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:10:25 +0000 chopsuey 805435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I was never a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805424 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:07:51 +0000 birdofafeather 805424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i still love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805407 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:03:56 +0000 Weagle 805407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan.

I don't see it IRL a lot, so it doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805327 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:44:50 +0000 Charm54 805327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen chevron IRL much anywhere at all though it is all over the internet.</p> <p>I love it ! I'm using it in LO's nursery since I find it gender neutral and we are team green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805307 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:42:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 805307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805294 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:38:55 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 805294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. </p> <p>But I am sick Of the whole moustache thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805291 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:38:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 805291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish it wasn't everywhere (on the internet at least) because I do still really like it. In small doses, at least. </p> <p>I never cared for the mustache thing at all. I don't get it.</p> <p>ETA: But I don't care if it will look 'dated' in the nursery or whatver-- I'm not designing a nursery so it will win originality awards or be a big hit on the internet, I'm doing it so I love looking at it, and secondary, for the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-sick-of-chevron-stripes#post-805290 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:38:35 +0000 betsyboop 805290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me me me. It was so overplayed, last year it seemed like every nursery on ApartmentTherapy was chevron-ed out. Like @leialou, I intentionally avoided chevron in our nursery because I expected that it would look dated within a year! </p>
