The retro look has been popular for several years now in home decorating.  I’m old enough to remember a chenille bedspread on my bed that had a dancing ballerina.  Chenille bedspreads are a great summer look for any bedroom.  Although the more intricate colored patterns are more collectible, I like the plain one color versions for elegance and simplicity in a room.  Now the DIY decorator has options for getting this look.

Ebay®. Ebay has a diverse selection of vintage chenille bedspreads. You can get some real bargains, but again you have to savvy and quick in your bidding.  Don’t forget to look at chenille material for making coordinated pillows or lampshades.
The Vermont Country Store® sells reproductions of vintage chenille bedspreads ranging in price and according to size from $69.95 up.
Nancy’s Notions® carries the notions to make your own chenille quilts,apparel,  and accessories.  You can create your own original to be cherished as a keepsake for years to come.
