According to Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Trends I am apparently very “in” at this moment. The article said that the following are trends in decorating right now:
Raw Wood
Check. I am getting ready for a wall of unfinished, weathered wood for our bedroom.
School House Items Re-purposed
Check. The office is coming along nicely.
Painted Furniture
Check, check and double check.
Nailhead Trim
I guess the guy at Home Depot better learn what this stuff is if it is trendy. He looked at me like I was crazy! Thank you Hancock Fabric for carrying the stuff.
Mint Green
Baby Boy said that the Mudroom Bench looks like melted sherbert. I can now tell him that melted sherbert is trendy!
There was one trend I will never follow: Wallpaper. I have spent enough time removing wallpaper in homes we purchased that I will never be responsible for doing that to another human being.
Gold and brass are also trendy right now. I am old enough that I already lived through the shiny brass trend once already. Not such a fan. It goes in the country blue and mauve with ducks spouting “Welcome Friends” category.
I guess I can be trendy when I choose to be!
