Trendy Tuesday – Mint

May 1, 2012 by Sharon Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday Peeps! It’s Tuesday, which means we’re taking a look at another trend in decor. Today, we’re looking at mint green. Interior Design Trends usually fall in line with fashion trends….just a little behind them. Mint green has been all over the runways and now it’s making it’s way inside.

I have to admit, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. The last time mint green was around it was mint green and dusty pink and mint green and peach. Been there, done that. Hello, the 80′s called and they want the ceramic mint shell lamp back please. Gag me with a spoon…like, no duh….o.k. enough with the 80′s humor.

Back to 2012.

As always is with trend revivals, they are more modern this time around and a little different from last time. Take a look.

So what do you think about this….does it have minty freshness that lasts and lasts. I couldn’t help myself….I’ll be back to normal by tomorrow. ;)

Trendy Tuesday – Ticking Stripes

April 24, 2012 by Sharon Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday y’all! I hope you’re having a great week so far! Let’s take our little weekly tour through another design trend – ticking stripes. While very old fashioned, ticking is coming back – again- and this time around it has a more modern edge. I’ve seen it upholstering curvy, french provincial type chairs which gives a more formal piece of furniture, a more relaxed and less serious vibe. Here is a small sampling of some ticking in decor:

Trendy Tuesday – Chesterfield Sofa’s

Popping up everywhere, Chesterfield sofa’s are quickly becoming a favorite piece in many homes. Check it out!

I tend to be drawn to more traditional furniture while keeping my accents and fabrics more trendy so that I can change them out as I like but I do like the way these look.

Trendy Tuesday – Buffalo Checks

March 27, 2012 by Sharon Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday y’all! While gingham was a huge trend several years ago, a trend I am seeing in increasing amounts is using buffalo checks….especially in bedding. Buffalo checks add a little fun to your decor without looking too juvenile. They look especially sophisticated in tween boys room. Check out the pictures below.

The key to pulling this off is keeping the rest of the room textured and fairly “quiet”. What do you think? Are you seeing buffalo checks in increasing amounts?
