Fix It Yourself

Rue De Vamp:  She said that damask fabric designs in the kitchen – think wallpaper, drapes, upholstery – is a trend that won’t last long.  What do you think? 

My Notting Hill:  She said that red is going to be next year’s color of the year.  It’s just a hunch, but keep your eyes open.  You never know.

Pearl House Interiors:   She said that large patterned drapery fabric can look so much different when it’s bunched up rather than opened wide.  I never noticed that;  it’s like a two-for-one design element.  Very cool.       

Acanthus and Acorn:   She said that choosing the right curtain rod is important.  So, if you are inspired by the previous blog, here’s the whole package. 

Glimpse of Style:  She said that grouping clocks together can be a fun design element.  My friend has a wall of clocks in her house, but I’ve never seen it anywhere else. 

HOUSEography:  She said that making a quick new centerpiece for your kitchen table can be a great pick-me-up.  

So, there you have it.  Put up some red damask curtains in your kitchen on a sturdy and stylish curtain rod, a few funky clocks in the middle of your table, and you’ll be all set.   For now, at least.
