Design 2012

Mixing up the old and the new is an absolute favorite of ours. Here’s some inspiration from Houzz.com!

I think the general-store twist on mixing vintage utilitarian finds into your decor is here to stay. Seeing a vintage scale with its rusted edges sitting on a new granite countertop is a perfect example — these vintage pieces tell a story and complement shiny new décor for a style balanced between old and new.

You can find accessories with that general-store style in mainstream catalogs like Pottery Barn. There are small indie collections with large followings, like Schoolhouse Electric, devoted to today’s general-store style. My question for 2012: if this general store style becomes so common in the mainstream, will it lose its charm?

All heartfelt design/art is emotionally attached to the individual. And, so it is with music & the home — in my mind, they’re mutually exclusive. Every great memory I have of a home that I’ve lived in or visited has great songs attached to that memory…

Home decor is so much more about atmosphere and character than anything else. So, here’s hoping there’s great music in every home you visit — this season, and always.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & MERRY EVERYTHING
