Give Chintz a Chance

<div style="text-align: center;">Chintz is back and better than ever. No, we aren't talking grandma's dated floral couch here people (although I just know there is something fabulous about even that), but a modern, fresh take on this traditional fabric. The term Chintz means any printed calico from India, usually cotton and glazed, but today we use it more casually to describe any floral fabric.<br />I've rounded up some of my favourite Chintz fabrics and some inspiration below!:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLLJG4OSvUZ8tcDodt2-8B_CIkC8RlwAz69dmScMZMEuGOx2o3-PsFTj2w81Q4tB9iIkgJqzDXTzDfwPn63ICjbKdVATGWk-orWwVFkiYBCRBhGzAk-D8_8vVBPvTzNm-GX6XaHKPA00/s1600/PYNE+HOLLYHOCK+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmLLJG4OSvUZ8tcDodt2-8B_CIkC8RlwAz69dmScMZMEuGOx2o3-PsFTj2w81Q4tB9iIkgJqzDXTzDfwPn63ICjbKdVATGWk-orWwVFkiYBCRBhGzAk-D8_8vVBPvTzNm-GX6XaHKPA00/s1600/PYNE+HOLLYHOCK+copy.jpg" /></a></div>Fabric via <a href="http://www.lonny.com/magazine/August+2012/MjOUVzsleVV/2#46" target="_blank">Schumacher</a>, Inspiration photo via <a href="http://www.lonny.com/magazine/August+2012/MjOUVzsleVV/2#46" target="_blank">Lonny Mag, August 2012</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz1kL0SQ1uK7hw-SefqMPKN3zcjPmzxLStKGaKJ4GC6Sot7QKe36T7pU2whnc-3SLIb1hGrydc_l5rLUOCkr3H3TlucLD8Y7OX0i1TRfhKOqFBEZI1ZAhHk0UTF_tL3IXECTqeK2bn9yY/s1600/ORANGERIE+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz1kL0SQ1uK7hw-SefqMPKN3zcjPmzxLStKGaKJ4GC6Sot7QKe36T7pU2whnc-3SLIb1hGrydc_l5rLUOCkr3H3TlucLD8Y7OX0i1TRfhKOqFBEZI1ZAhHk0UTF_tL3IXECTqeK2bn9yY/s1600/ORANGERIE+copy.jpg" /></a></div> Fabric via <a href="http://www.designersguild.com/fabric-and-wallpaper-showroom/view-all-collections/zephirine-fabric/orangerie/orangerie-rose#.UyxxIIWwW1M" target="_blank">Designer's Guild</a>, Inspiration Image via <a href="http://www.astoriedstyle.com/index.php/2013/01/gebhardt-guest-roomoffice/" target="_blank">A Storied Style</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcJXJsKzR6s2CO03kUgNlsxnxJIHi0BPXaUytFUuKPtL2POcsy34CzUCuw3_1cB_m401FYgV54D7HCOBk2wCBXaLo5kpn0CTPIPdGjENGwz2XLAcc2lAF9fQuj6QL9MyKFJwwu3X7owM/s1600/elizabeth+chintz+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcJXJsKzR6s2CO03kUgNlsxnxJIHi0BPXaUytFUuKPtL2POcsy34CzUCuw3_1cB_m401FYgV54D7HCOBk2wCBXaLo5kpn0CTPIPdGjENGwz2XLAcc2lAF9fQuj6QL9MyKFJwwu3X7owM/s1600/elizabeth+chintz+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Fabric via <a href="http://www.fschumacher.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=175500" target="_blank">Schumacher</a>, Image via <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/estate-of-grace-tory-burchs-southampton-home/#/magazine-gallery/tory-burch-house/9" target="_blank">Tory Burch in Vogue</a><br /><br />Now tell me, do you like chintz?
