Using a Scarf as a "Chair Runner"

9-16-08scarf1.jpg

We got this idea from Etsy weaver Ecological Artist, who displays her handmade scarves on wooden side chairs. As we think about ways to warm up our home for fall, this is one quick and easy idea...

If you have a few scarves lying around your home, you might as well try using them as decor. They also serve the same purpose as a blanket - if it gets chilly, just wrap one around your neck to stay warm. These scarves from the Ecological Artist are hand-woven from organic wool, silk, and angora, $200 each.

Ahmmm....it just looks like someone forgot their scarf at your place but, to each his/her own.

Nice way to show off your scarf, but... chair runner? No. I don't know what you're talking about.

Looks like a store display - or a forgotten scarf in a cafe.

Table runners look well draped artistically on the back of a chair (although not to be sat on).
