i love this post series + love all the tartan!
Nice price on the Macy’s/Ralph chair — altho I’ve gone to Macy’s twice thinking I’ll buy some advertised furniture only to find out the quality isn’t up to snuff when I get there. I wonder if Ralph’s stuff is any good
Love this post! If you’re in Chicago and love some plaid, you must stop by Brimfield in Andersonville. You’ll be amazed by their selection.
I just spotted an affordable and lovely tartan throw in Muji – can’t see it online but it’s new and is yellow, green and brown – really lovely.
Since you listed the Converse, I’d like to point out that Gap has some fabulous tartar ballet flats. I’m wearing them in green right now :) I got them on sale for $20!!

Erm, that should say tartan, not tartar. Hahaha!
ok– I’m gonna go out on a limb here— I think I’m gonna pass on the plaid– especially the big, stuffed plaid chairs. But you all go ahead…..I wore plaid for 12 years from1st grade to 12th and I swore then, and I’ll swear now, I ain’t EVAH touchin’ the stuff again! Certainly not on my furniture.
Ack. LOVE that lamp shade!
pLAID?
Oh yeah! I”m a tartan girl, myself. Love it, although I don’t have any around the house at all.
Speaking of tartan for the home… I was admiring the new tartan flor tiles in the recent catalog. I wish it came in more colorways…

Great Post. On January 25th Scotland celebrates its national poet, Robbie Burns.
I got those tartan dessert plates for the holidays and haven’t been able to bring myself to put them away yet. I love them!
I love all of this tartan…does anyone know of anyone that sells online get tartan/plaid rugs?
Love this tartan roundup. And the orange chair on the light blue wall (I’ve the same color combination in my living room)
this series has inspired my new sofa line! thank you so much for constantly giving me inspiration!
I bought the trunk for my husband and he totally loved it! Thanks
I second the rec for Brimfield in Chicago. Meegan, you might call Julie and ask her about rugs. If anyone would know where to find a plaid rug, she would. Her specialty is upholstering vintage furniture in vintage Pendelton wool. Lots and lots of creative works–like covering every button on a tufted armchair in a different plaid. Here’s a review of her store in a plaid-lovers blog: http://allplaidout.com/2009/10/brimfield-chicago/
