Hot Prints: Chevron

It seems everywhere I look these days, the classic zigzag pattern known as Chevron is popping up! 

I see it in home accessories, fashion and even paper products.

But don't let it's bold, graphic, modern lines fool you....this pattern first appeared around 1800 B.C. on pottery and rock carvings found in Greece. Just goes to show you how a classic pattern will never go out of style. {Gotta love those Greeks!!}

Take a look to see how you can incorporate a bit (or a lot) of this timeless classic into your home or wardrobe.
