Gingham is another one of those fabrics that remind me of summertime much the way that seersucker does. It's role in fashion and home decor has been popular since the 1950s. It was in the forefront of 1960s fashion when such stylish icons as Jacqueline Kennedy, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn were photographed often wearing this crisp plaid fabric.
I just love this modern twist on a classic on a classic top by Anthropologie
You can dress your Minnie in this adorable Ralph Lauren top of the same color!
But if your Minnie is anything like my Minnie she'll want (and plead and beg until she wears you down!) for these darling pink gingham Converse sneakers!
Mommy might like to wear these little flats with a cute little skirt or sundress...
And there's plenty of gingham for the men in your life too... This "Italian Stallion" shirt is available from Boden USA...
I love this gingham madras shirt from Brooks Brothers!
My love for grosgrain gingham is like no other!
except maybe for these adorable gingham napkins that would bring out the fun in any picnic!
I'd bring these along too!
And I would pack everything up in this!
Gingham throw pillows add great character and color to any room.
These gingham melamine plates would look as cute on your walls as they would on your table!
A simple yellow and white gingham table cloth adds a splash of color in a non-fussy way.
Here gingham grows up a bit...
Here gingham slipcovers add some pattern and texture to the dining room and complement the pattern on the walls.
Although hard to see, the longer table cloth is a black and white gingham. This was my dining room in our house before we moved 2 years ago. It's sort of has that French country charm to it. I had the table cloths made. (My mother in law actually made them and the cushions on the chairs. Aren't they fabulous!) The shorter table cloth is a Laura Ashley toile and I believe trimmed in a Waverly ticking. The cushions are reversible. The ticking is on one side and the toile is on the other. Perfect for my split personality! Yes those are my bamboo folding chairs that also served as my dining chairs back then! The photo on the far wall is of the villa in Umbria. The last of her grand home renovations.
