Checkered Moon

I came across this cute little boutique yesterday in the plaza by Kirby and Mattis in Champaign. They sell furniture and some clothes. But I adore the style and vibe they give off with their decor and design. The name Checkered Moon in itself does not seem to really fit or make sense. When I think checkered, I imagine the 50's with the black and white tiled floor that was so popular in the kitchen back then. However this boutique is far from that. In this aspect the name does not seem to fit. However the owner claims to have picked this name because (as illustrated in the picture on the right) she loves color and those coordinating. When I read this about her, the boutique now makes sense. A color palatte full of funky squares and a triangle to make it the roof illustrates that she mostly sells many colors of home decor.
