Chevron aka Zig Zag II
These are some of the wonderful works of Mary McDonald. If you're not
this adventurous, I found a few Zig Zag Area Rugs at West Elm that are very
reasonable and give the room a shot of pazazz!

My new love for the Chevron pattern
I remember back when I first started working with textiles. No,forget working, it was more like thrown in!I had a girlfriend in San Francisco who had a hot little commercial upholsterey company but hated making sales calls! So of course I jumped on the opportunity to make some extra mad money and told her I could sell her stuff! She was thrilled!It was so funny to me that she had such anxiety over this because she had the personality of Bette Midler and looked like Cybil Shepard! Anyway, I'll never forget my first customer, she asked me to bring some Chevron fabrics with me! I had no idea what she was talking about, but thought I'd wing it! Luckily my hunch was right! It was the zig zag pattern like the logo at the Chevron Gas Station!Ha! And, for my friend, she got out of the upholstry biz and caught the wave in the morgage business, made millions and retired at forty four to Lake Tahoe!What a lucky dog! Or maybe she just found her niche'?

Chevron Rugs, also known as Zig Zag
One of my favorite things about Mary McDonald is that not only does she love color like I do but she takes painted floors to a new level!
Which I think is Brillant!
Take a look at how she tranferred the chevron pattern typically used on fabric and wallpaper to the floor! What a great idea! Gosh, you could easily redo those concrete floors we all did ten years ago!Painting a pattern seems a lot cheaper then doing a major overhall!
