Thrifted and gifted - decorating with serapes

Let's take a pause from rhinestone DIYs and mad Cyber Monday shopping to praise the serape - inexpensive, colorful and the perfect covering when temps range from 50 to 35 degrees as they have done here.

I found this serape in a box in storage. I have no idea of its origin. I elevated it from beach blanket to home decor based on the inspiration to follow, which will help you keep your Mex mix cool rather than kitschy.

Pics are: Furbish; Poppytalk; left chair unknown; right chair from Totem; Urban Outfitters; room via Mr. Kate; and my own little room.

Found anything good in a box in the basement lately?
