Someone Else Who Is Rethinking Chintz

Remember my post last week about solid chintz? Well, Lulu deKwiatkowski has obviously been thinking about it too. Two new additions to the Lulu DK fabric line are Pierre and Ginger chintzed linens. The fabrics have a subtle sheen rather than the "shiny" finish of traditional chintz. I can't wait to see the fabrics in person because it seems like these fabrics are spiffy versions of linen. It might also be an option for those of you who are allergic to high sheen chintzes.



I had been thinking about upholstering two armchair seats in leather, but now I'm considering the chintzed linen. Have any of you seen it in person?
