Of all the major home and bathroom trends of 2015, there's one very specific feature that's really making waves: gray shaker style bathroom vanities. These vanities are showing in bathrooms of all different sizes and styles, and many top manufacturers have included one (or several) in their new 2015 lineups. But why the sudden popularity, and will it last? We've got a few reasons why these very trendy vanities have become such a hit, and why they're worth having >>>...
Gray bathroom vanities are one of the hottest items in bathroom design this year. I've talked a bit elsewhere about why this look is an especially good match for a transitional design, but the truth is, this color is showing up all over the place, in vanities that range from very modern to more traditional than you might expect. Technically gray is a neutral color, which means it can blend well with a lot of different designs, but it has a lot more personality than your average beige or brown, which makes it stand out in just about any setting >>>...
Picking out new furniture for your living room is difficult. Picking out new furniture when you don't have a lot of space to work with is even more so. For smaller living rooms, you want a nice-looking couch that doesn't get in the way of your other furniture or is just too big to function >>>...
When furniture designers found themselves gloomy, questioning the purpose of their inane creations, they may have thought throwing lights into their projects would lull them out of their depression. Whether or not that worked, the glowing couches and tables are a treat for consumers. Like moths, we freak out over anything that lights up >>>...
Next time you think about throwing a luau, forget the grass skirt and grab some grass furniture instead.
This furniture merges the home with a grassy meadow. Even with potted plants, the home ensemble just isn’t green enough >>>...
If you follow our blog, you know that we're "green" at heart. I, personally, don't hug a lot of trees, but I do admire them and walk out of my way to pass houses with beautiful landscaping. Usually that means a flowering fruit tree or maybe a bush pruned to look like a giraffe >>>...
How many times have you been warned not to throw rocks at a glass house, and how many times has that advice come in handy? Well, brave architects are planning to build a glass house showroom this year. They won't have any trouble filling it, either, with the glass furniture, glass tile, glass accents, and glass everything else that's already available. They'll have to work around birds trying to fly in and people looking up ladies' skirts, but the design itself will be no problem >>>...
I'm going to let you in on a little secret - I love buying furniture second hand. It's like the pieces you find at a thrift shot, flea market, or just on the side of the road come pre-installed with a heaping helping of personality and potential. After all, if you only paid $5 for it, you'll probably feel a little more at liberty to get creative with it >>>...
Rustic decor is great on its own for a cabin feel or to remind you of Grandma's farmhouse. It also mixes surprisingly well into almost any other home decor. Unless, of course, your pad is space age or hardcore industrial, at which point I make no promises >>>...
I'm sold on rustic decor and its use of sustainable reclaimed wood furniture. If you aren't yet, take my word for it until you see the photos below or get up to speed with my first post in the series. The short story is that adding country-inspired furniture and accents is a fun new trend, reclaimed wood is eco friendly, and it lets you keep family heirlooms without going for totally country decor >>>...
