Ticking Stripes: Major Crush

Oh boy, I do love a play on words. It started with this pillow, purchased as a gift for my mother in law (and one for myself because it was too darn cute). And now I am OBSESSED with ticking stripes. I'll have you know, my obsession came several months before Nate announced on his show that ticking stripes were all the rage. I felt proud at that moment. Etsy is ripe with lots of ticking stripe pickings- and I cannot get enough. They compliment just about any decor.

Right now my mom is making red/cream ticking euro pillow cases for our guest room. I love how they're juxtaposed with the crisp hotel bedding to provide a layered, lived in look. Can't wait to get them in the mail, and post pictures of course.

Here's some of my favorite ways to incorporate ticking stripes into your home...
