The i k a t trend is holding fast and furious. So much so that Elle Decor, which has been touting the look for years (House Beautiful is a huge fan too), devoted a page to it in the front of the book this month. I promise to put a product post together too, but first, a collection of rooms with ikat elements, with some suzani thrown in. You’ve probably seen a lot of these before, but hopefully there are some new images too.

I adore the Susie Sarlo room, thanks for the intro, I need to see more of her work! Will you be at Brimfield this week too?
hi julieann – i so can’t get away to brimfield this week, unfortunately. i am buried under work, and so’s my husband, leaving me to, you know, all the other stuff around here! hope you have fun!
super post – many of those ikat images were new to me, and I couldn’t pick a favorite if my life depended upon it.
have you seen the ikat chairs at Urban Outfitters? Not bad for the $!
hi deb, so glad these are new to you! yes, i even ordered a fabric sample of one, tho they were out… stay tuned for the GET THE LOOK: IKAT post tomorrow : )
I love it, but it did really surprise me to see Elle Decor touting it as the next big thing. They’re supposed to be ahead of the trends!
My wife and I made all of our own decorations.You’d be sesrpirud at what you can do w/ foam core, an over head projector, and spray paint.We went online and found different pictures that looked good as a silhouette.Projected them onto foam core.Cut them out w/ exact-o-knives.And spray painted them adding glitter.The church was small so only a couple hundred dollars there.And did the reception at the party room of a brew pub.We were around 7K total.That was 10 years ago.And we had a small jazz group play music.Any way be cheap!I still think that we should have sold tickets Not to cover the entire cost but to at least defray it
