NEVER FAILS...ideas for decorating.
Paying attention to trending styles in home decorating is a continual changing fashion statement. Right now the HOT style is the FARMHOUSE LOOK with worn out furniture, empty picture frames hanging, books turned backwards so you cannot read the titles, chippy paint, rusty metal, painted wood furniture, white white white white white, grey is making an encore appearance, well loved nic-nacs, doors leading nowhere, faux windows, rolling barn doors sliding along ship lap walls, and don't forget beaded board as well. Why, you can almost smell the cow manure. Watch where you step, a special prop just might be chicken poo on the floor to accentuate the atmosphere.
Did I forget anything?
Decorating trends happened. Each generation seems to make a decorating statement to die for. When I was a little girl, I thought it was amazing to have bottles sitting in the window that had colored water inside of them as gorgeous. I could have popped. Avocado green, Harvest gold, and Brown appliances were the thing when I was a teenager. My newly married sister had Avocado appliances that I swooned over. SHAG carpet was all the rage. Mushrooms became popular. Then came the geese. Goose everywhere. Frilly things every where. Sauntering into fashion, Shabby Chic erupted. A far more casual atmosphere happened. Tadaah...shabby chic stayed way longer than some thought possible. Slowly the FARMHOUSE LOOK overtook homes. It became popular to thrift buy, bargain shop and dumpster dive to create a home environment that would usher in minimalism. Look as if you intentionally have very little and what you do have is on it's last leg. Bye bye to crowded Victorian clutter.
HOME IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT and I love it.
Cozy comfort.

Hello. I too remember the gold, avacado green and a kind of orange. My styles have changed as well over the years but I find I like what I'm comfortable with, even if some things aren't in style. We have a very very old farmhouse and it sure isn't gray and barn doors and all white! That's pretty for some, but I like mixing it up a bit with things and colors and patterns that make me happy. I absolutely LOVE the images of the first few photos. I'll buy that. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Howdy Pam. Glad you stopped by. I would love to see your old farmhouse! I admire many different decorating styles. My home is what it is and I love it. Merry Christmas to you,
