We are really tough on our things.
And I’m not just talking about the kids. Well, okay, I’m not talking at ALL about Mike. It’s me. And the kids. AND the dog. WE’RE tough on our things. We drip, we spill, we drop. Remember the ape from that 1970’s American Tourister luggage commercial? That’s us (again, NOT Mike.).
So it’s essential that everything we purchase is sturdy, durable and most importantly – easy to clean.
But I also want things that are well-designed and look great too.
Cue Chilewich.
Sandy Chilewich founded Hue hosiery and then went on to develop the iconic “Ray” line of bowls, boxes and trays. She now heads up her namesake company, which brilliantly weaves vinyl material into stylish, functional and VERY durable placemats, floor mats and other home accessories.
We have several of her placemats and floor mats and they always get lots of compliments – especially the acid green, ovoid-shaped mat in the powder room.
They hold up exceptionally well, and have remained stain-free and intact for years now.
My next Chilewich? I think this:

Hi! I'm Sheri!
Welcome to my little corner of the web where you’ll find easy, delicious recipes, the best kitchen hacks and simple tips for turning your home into a clean haven that is free of toxins. So glad you’re here!
Gorgeous bath mat! Where did you get it?
I can’t remember if I got that one directly from the web site or from Crate and Barrel – try both!
Wow – thank you for the introduction to Chilewich! I had never heard of them, but love their collection! We’ve been looking for a thinner (and more durable) door mat, and I think I just found it 🙂 Have a great weekend!
These are perfect – we, too, needed thin yet durable mats and love these! Have a great weekend too; thank you! 🙂
I love the look of this line. Have never heard of it so will go check it out. If something isn’t beautiful or useful in my home – I’ve been gettin rid of it – these seem to fit both.
They do! They do! 🙂
I love the bath mat and I must have that iPhone case!
Twinsies! 🙂
The bag is super cute!!
I know! I want all of them – in every color! 🙂
Have many Chilewich products on floors and tabletops!
Of course you do. 🙂
love the shots of your table and house. so pretty. and i NEEDED to know this, I have one set of sad lonely placemats that never get taken out b/c I’m positive we’ll ruin them. can’t wait to check it out.
Thanks so much! I think you’ll love them – even more because you’ll actually USE them! 🙂
Very nice. Would love to get some – my place mats could do with an upgrade. Love your wine glasses too. Must get some of those too. Have a great weekend, Sheri.
Glad you liked! Here are the wine glasses (we love them too!) – http://www.amazon.com/Riedel-Cabernet-Glasses-Set-Bonus/dp/B000X0IHO8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328927748&sr=8-1 Have a great weekend too!
