My Pop loves newspapers.  He sends me articles from all over on decorating.  I got a laugh over a few recently as they are proclaiming what’s in and what’s out.

Ikat prints are OUT.  My pillows are out.  Ikat is no good.  And I quote Designer Sheldon Harte:  “You know it’s over when it’s showing up on paper plates in CVS.”

My Mom’s macrame she made in the 70’s? 60’s? is IN.  I bet she is beaming as she reads this.

 

Woodland creatures are OUT.  Oh thank God.  I hated the damn owls.  No more blinky owls, foxes or timid deer.

Of course what if it is made out of macrame?  Does it become IN again?  I really hope not.

 

All white kitchens are OUT.

I do NOT agree.  This is just lovely.

Dark blue and charcoal is In.

Living Room by Berkeley Interior Designers & Decorators Urban Orchard Interiors

Faux painted walls are OUT.

Wallpaper is IN.  Remember my post about Why Wallpaper is the Coolest?

Traditional Powder Room by Norwich Architects & Designers Smith & Vansant Architects PC

Did you notice the Snowshoe Mirror? (Hey Pottery Barn Check Me Out!)

Brown or black furniture is OUT.  Does this mean wood?  I have no idea but I guess I’m in trouble.

Painted furniture is IN.
