Mad for {Buffalo} Plaid
Last week brought Winter’s first freeze to the the Midwest, with more to come this weekend. Time to stock up on firewood, pull out sweaters, and get cozy. Doesn’t Buffalo Plaid fit in perfectly with COZY?? I ran across this tear out in my Inspiration Book this week ~ it is another image from Architectural Digest, June 08.
I just love the campy feel of this room… It would be so fabulous to outfit a basement or bunkhouse in Denim * Plaid * Americana!!

The Buffalo Plaid Sofa definitely anchors this room ~ If you are interested in creating a look like this one then start with the PLAID!! Here are a few places to find some MAD for PLAID INSPIRATION…
This Buffalo Check Red Sofa is a classic piece. Available online from BlackForestDecor.com, a Buffalo Check Red Chair and A Half, plus a Matching Storage Ottoman
, are also available. I can imagine many a cozy night by the fire on this one!!
Add the warmth of a rustic lodge to your bedroom ~ a traditional palette for your guest room or boys’ room, this Woodsman Bedding, available online from Wallpaper
Connection.com, is a solid palette that will keep your space rooted.
Sometimes a little bit goes a long way. If you love the Frontier spirit of Buffalo Check, but don’t want to invest too heavily in the idea, then adding just a touch with this Buffalo Check Canteen Lamp from AspenLighting.com is a great rustic accent for your great room, bedroom, or even bathroom!!
To complete the RUSTIC Charm, add an Antler Accent and Ski Photo Frame to the table where your Buffalo Check Canteen Lamp will dwell.
I love preparing the dining table for Holiday meals ~ cooking them is not so fun, but making the table look good makes me smile. Isn’t this what my kids will remember about Holidays at home?? Probably not, but the dining table brings out the stylist in this momma, even if the frenzy of family & appetites quickly transforms the tablescape to a mountain of dirty dishes.
What better way to approach the upcoming holidays than with new dishes?? These Buffalo-Check-Inspired dishes from TheAdirondackCompany.com will work for Thanksgiving and Christmas alike. Add a Burlap Tablecloth, Antler Flatware, and Lodge Glassware to complete your outdoor theme.
Before I sign off for the day {and spend the next few hours wringing my hands, waiting for the election results}, I have one more way to melt into winter… thisBuffalo Plaid coat from TheGap.com. Whether paired with black slacks & patent boots ~ or jeans & Old Gringos, this wool coat will keep you feeling warm and looking HOT!!
Go VOTE ~ Vote for FREEDOM and LIBERTY, our Country is at stake. God Bless the USA!! xoxo, Fancy
