Lonny and Ivy for less


The latest issues of online home decor magazines Lonny and Ivy & Piper featured a couple of things several times.

One is faux zebra hide rugs.

If you don't care to make my own fake zebra hide, there's now a ringer for the $700 Horchow rug available at CSN Stores for $101 (and free shipping) and at Overstock for $92.


The other item is chevron and its close cousin the stripe.

Premier Prints has both large and small zig zags for about $10 a yard. And here's a tip from Christian at Maison 21: Fabric.com has some of the same chevron for only $7 a yard.


The magazines are, as always, free.

  2. Thank you for posting this! How did I not know about Ivy & Piper??

    I'm dying for a cheap, chevron printed headboard to fill the space until we upgrade our queen bed for a king. Great finds!
