There are very few days from September through May when you'll see me without a scarf around my neck. Despite this partiality, I'd never thought of showcasing selections from my collection the way stylist Emily Chalmers has.
In Chalmers's loft, the scarves not only look beautiful, but they also help to distinguish her work space from the rest of the room. They add color, pattern, and functionality — what's not to like?

I looooove this! Gorgeous.
totally agree. this is beautiful.
Excellent idea. Use a large stitch and it's easier to undo if you change your mind and want to wear one. :) I'm going to do this in my shop but to cover ugly areas I can't fix.
Stylists' houses are the best. Maybe this could be the subject of a future AT post?
I'm making a sari into a shower curtain, so this is on my wavelength.
Too Country shabby-chic for me, with the patchwork of various designs. But conceptually a cool idea, if the choices were different. (Or saris or shawls -- bigger "scarves" with more limited designs...)
I love EC, check out her books.
yes please
I saw this idea about 15 years ago in some magazine, only for a canopy bed, and loved it! Been saving Vera scarves ever since for that project.
I use three Indian scarves from the 60s in my bedroom to hide my desk. I love them. I didn't know what to do with them for awhile (too bright and metallic to wear, really) until I realized they would look great hanging from the ceiling. I even decoupaged the cute 1960s box lid from the box they came in. And now I enjoy them instead of them languishing in a drawer or closet unseen.
Lovely!
I love love LOVE this idea! I have repurposed my bf's neckties for quilts and such but this gives me lots of inspiration on what to do with scarves...there's no reason one couldn't do it with knitted or woolen scarves as well for winter windows.
love it
love this whole picture :)
