According to Schumacher, "Chiang Mai Dragon is one of our best-loved designs--since its introduction in 2006, the fabric has become iconic among our patterns. The modern Chinoiserie motif, which is screened onto rich linen and is also available as a wallcovering, originally came from an exuberant Art Deco block print that was created in the 1920s."

Why so popular you ask? Well, my guess is that it lends itself well to being used in so many spaces. Simply put, it's verstile. It doesn't lock you into a particular color scheme like so many prints do, since the pattern includes so much color. It can also easily be incorporated into an existing space. Not to mention, it immediatly adds high impact color even in a small dose.
Let's be clear though, this is not just a fabric. It's also a wallcovering...

....and likely has a few other applications. I told you it was iconic.

Oh, did I mention it comes in 13 color ways? Thereby making it that much more versatile of a print. I have to admit, I've resisted the urge to jump on the bandwagon.....until now.

Earlier this week I was introduced to the newest color way, jade, and I may have to give into this one. I mean it's pink and green after all. If I decide to add it to my home it will likely be in a small amount (it's pretty $$$). Plus, I think too much of a good thing can be very BAD. I love how my friend Jennifer of Dimples and Tangles uses it in her dining room.

See how a little goes a long way? I'll keep you posted.
What do you think? You either love it or you hate it and everyone is entitled to their preference.

Awww, what a nice surprise, thanks!! I could not love it more! I saw the new green a few weeks ago at a showroom and it is WONDERFUL! Can I put 2 different colors in 2 different rooms? ;) The new black is pretty fabulous too. It's just the perfect fabric!
Over the recent years, Chiang Mai has turned out to be a modern-day city that can attract as many as one million tourists annually https://thaimotorent.com/chiang-mai-scooter-rental/ Monthly rental offers a better deal (do not hesitate to bargain hard) and on-line offers provide the best rates of all
There can be tons to peer at the same time as hiking in the North, starting from the orchid farms and botanical gardens along the Mae Sa Valley to the towering splendour of Doi Inthanon, Thailand's maximum mountain and the villages of the hill people and the handicraft centres of Sankhamphaeng wherein nearby artisans art work in silk, cotton, timber and silver. Thailand's national parks are typically available through manner of avenue, and the most famous of these, Khao Yai, is just a 3-hour drive from Bangkok. https://catmotors.net/routes/doi-inthanon/
