I don't know what it is about ticking stripes, but I just can't get enough of them. I love their simplicity, their casual feel, and their French (or Swedish) vibe. Here's some eye candy for you.

* What terriffic pics! Did you know that, if very old, the wicker/wooden/straw-like piece above the black bed (w/ the numbers on it), was originally used to store artillery rounds in the past? I have one I found in Europe~ sadly, someone REpainted the black numbers, which I would have preferred left in their faded condition, but I STILL just love it... (And if yours has the round "holes" in "wood" in the bottom, that is WHERE the base of each artillery round stood. Cool, huh?)... Thought you might be interested!

* Note: Just took another look~ it appears this is a photo from a catalog... Just FYI, it looks like the old leather "straps" are missing, so it's most likely a repro, but gee, they are sooo fun, I think!). Enjoyed your posting here! *
I'm liking the stripes you picked pretty well, but I can barely concentrate because I love the woodwork! I really like that big window seat!
Great inspiration!
Have a great week!

So many great posts today.. and this one is no exception!!! Nothing like a good dose of ticking... it conjures up so many images .. a little bit french, a little bit grandma's bedding... and a little bit beachy. I LOVE the black armoire!!
Love those photos.
Great pics!! I also love some ticking stripes :), it's so clean and simple!
Oh yes, I'm loving the ticking too. Especially black and white ticking - so smart and sophisticated. I've just bought some ticking which I'm going to use in a project in my son's bedroom.
Mmmm. Me, too!
Me too!! I am in love with ticking! I have to be careful not to go overboard with it. So far, we have made some blue and white ticking stripe curtains for our son's vintage train ispired room, and some brown and white ticking chair pads for our bar stools. I like it, because I really like striped fabrics, but the ticking is a nice subtle stripe. Love it! :)
ME TOO!!!! I love that window seat. I am working on something similar right now.
I really liked the black dining room set!!! Great photos. :)
I *heart* ticking stripes too! I don't think you could ever have enough of this design in your house.
I was just thinking I might make me a new shower curtain out of ticking. Glad to see I'm not the only one in love with it!
Thanks for sharing! That daybed is awesome! Soo cozy!
AN, you know that I too have a love affair with ticking stripes. They just make you feel good.
Love that daybed with the tufted cover. That is GORG.
Yes, me too! I had my bedroom done in red and cream ticking stripes and then I changed it to blue and brown. I miss those stripes.
Cute pictures!
XOXO

Ah yes! Ticking - so cute! I'm looking to re-do the living room and I want something casual like ticking and large checks and hydrangeas or geraniums....I know what I want, I just can't find it :( ~ Robyn

I love the ticking stripes! I saved my little boy's overalls with them and I really want to make something out of them! Thanks for the RSVP for the paint party~can't wait to see what you share!!
I love the cottagey feel of ticking. Your house is so pretty and bright.
I need to get my hands on some of that... a beach bag perhaps... hummmm..... thanks for the great idea!
I love ticking stripes! And I love the duvet cover you featured in the pottery barn bargains post. So glad I found this blog!
Great pics! Do you know where that great ticking stripe tufted daybed cover and matching shams are from? They are beautiful@ Phil
Aore ticking - but I am really struggling to find ticking bedding in black & white. Any suggestions?
I also adore ticking and am searching for a ticking stripe daybed cover. any ideas where I can buy one short of making one myself ?
Thrilled to find your great blog! I'm just starting out on a project where we will incorporate blk/wht ticking fabric into the room. While googling the "blk/wht ticking" for inspiration, i found your blog! I'll keep you posted or hope you'll follow my blog, as I incorporate the look into a client's "fish camp" guest bedroom!
All the best,
Jeanette
