Design Trend: Crocodile Print

I am in love with the crocodile print that is finding its way from the runways into decor! My new obsession started with a visit to see my good friend, Julie Hagen, at the gorgeous Renaissance Tile showroom in the Dallas Design District.  Julie is helping me with our kitchen back-splash but I couldn’t help but notice these beauties she has displayed right behind her desk! These crocodile print tiles are absolutely beautiful and my photography does not do them justice! Paired with the gorgeous striated stone, it is a match made in Heaven!  They are crafted by Quemere International and Julie can give you all of the details on these lovelies…

If you happened to catch my last post, you know I just returned from the Design Bloggers Conference in Los Angeles. One of the sponsors of the conference was Duralee. Duralee has some stunning textiles and we were so fortunate to get a sneak peek of their Spring lines. And what do you think was my fave?? You guessed it!

And another Design Bloggers Conference sponsor, Merida Meridian, had samples of THE coolest new flooring I have seen lately… leather! And you know what pattern they have included? In recycled leather! I am in LOVE!

Moving right along, I was preparing for a trip home this past weekend and had to pop into Neiman Marcus for a couple of items… Neimans is on top of the trends as usual! Check out their new sacks!

And when my parents picked us up from the airport, Mom was wearing a crocodile print jacket… I’m telling you, it is everywhere!

Crocodile prints I raided from my Mom's closet!

Are you having crocodile deja’ vu? Have a great week and let me know what you think about the croc!
