Do you know what's in and what's out?

The Fall Furniture Market at High Point, N.C. is underway.  It's always fascinating to see the trends that influence furniture manufacturers.  One year everywhere you went there was hot pink and another year there was black - lots of black.  Did it have to do with the economic slump?  Did it not look sooooo big in black?

Last fall the theme was peacock blue.  But what do you do if you hate pink or black or peacock blue?

My solution is to decorate for my clients likes rather than the current trend.   In other words, I encourage you to be yourself.  What colors do you like?

My three year old granddaughter can answer that question without hesitation.  She loves, loves, loves pink and purple!  Do you think she'll grow out of it?  Probably. 

Some adults like one color one year and another color another year but others are comfortable with the same colors from year to year. Do you know how you trend towards colors or are you swayed by trendy fashions in your home as well as your clothes? 

Do you want to know my secret?  Then, catch next week's blog for what is new at Market and how I solve my own color and style challenges.
