However, this year, I am loving Behr's 2018 color of the year...which, happens to be called "In The Moment". It's the perfect combination of blue and gray with a touch of green. It will work well with traditional and modern decor. There's something about it that just makes me happy and relaxed...the kind of color that I would love to come home to everyday. And, I think we all could benefit from a little happy "In The Moment" right now!<br />

The exterior is dark to blend into its surroundings. But don't be fooled by the dark exterior, there are a ton of windows in this home to bring in natural light. The garage doors are glass which gives a view thru the house out into the Bay. (Photo by David A. Land)<br />

The modern kitchen features an open concept so it doesn't feel closed off to the rest of the house. My favorite design elements are the oversized island and the quartz backsplash. (Photo by: Rustic White Photography)<br />

I've decided to move out of The Sleepy Poet by the end of January. I just didn't have time to search for antiques....it took more time, patience and $$ than I initially anticipated so I just decided to move on. I did enjoy being part of an antique mall and I met some really nice vendors and customers! I'm having an additional 20% off sale until the end of the month so come check us out (vendor 1344). Feel free to <a href="mailto:brushed_bureau@comporium.net">e-mail</a> if you have any questions about anything in my space. Thanks so much to all my loyal customers who came out over the year and a half to support The Brushed Bureau!Frankie Kellumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603591216973553818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950177386816863265.post-56716177892931976752018-01-01T07:40:00.003-08:002018-01-01T07:40:56.336-08:00On trend for the new yearI'm happy to report that some of the 2017 design trends will still be popular going into 2018. Vintage mid-century furniture is still instyle. Brass and gold accents will keep going strong throughout 2018. Greens and pinks are still popular. Here's a brief summary of what's hot....<br />

brass in 2018.This is a great example of a "mixed metallic" living room from <a href="http://www.zgallerie.com/">ZGallerie</a>.</div>

<b>Green</b> is the new black. From olive to sage, greens are making a big comeback. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also complement the popular pastel pinks and blues well. So, if you are thinking of painting a room a new color, check out the greens. I'm thinking this trend will last awhile.</div>

</div>
It seems like gift giving is getting more difficult each year...it's so hard to find perfect gifts for my family and friends as they get older because they have everything! So this year, I am spending time looking for special and one-of-kind gifts. Here are some ideas that I came up with...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXnxeKUpIDwScC9zrmJxjUVuJRBkEWOWJ9cwSr07ckihqqVebBtwnRbjNKGqhtWsqVqxJTnd0mP-G2ep0NTYqFLgfB2JaURdEgTwjplFpHKhp9ON809AcHWuVZiirPajcMPT3pOSnpkA/s1600/10002069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXnxeKUpIDwScC9zrmJxjUVuJRBkEWOWJ9cwSr07ckihqqVebBtwnRbjNKGqhtWsqVqxJTnd0mP-G2ep0NTYqFLgfB2JaURdEgTwjplFpHKhp9ON809AcHWuVZiirPajcMPT3pOSnpkA/s320/10002069.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to give food and drink gifts...especially cocktail gifts. This cocktail shaker <br />
from <a href="http://www.papersource.com/">Paper Source</a> takes the guess work out of making a perfect drink. <br />
This would also make an excellent hostess gift. Another great idea would be <br />
a vintage decanter paired with a bottle of their favorite liquor...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or fill a beautiful glass decanter with your favorite margarita mix!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can't go wrong with a personalized gift. These pillows would be perfect for a <br />
newlywed couple. Prices start at $11.69 from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/288574287/custom-made-personalized-name-navy-blue?ref=shop_home_active_3">Sham Shak on Etsy</a>.</div>

These tags (also from <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/">Anthro</a>) are the cutest! And, the receiver will surely appreciate a <br />
special monogrammed tag. The gift wrap can sometime make the gift extra special!</div>

Set your DVR....Fixer Upper's final season will begin Nov. 21 on HGTV. I have enjoyed watching this show over the years and I will miss seeing Joanna Gaines transform her magic makeovers every week. Of course, you can always visit Magnolia Market in Waco. They have made the little town of Waco, Texas a hot spot destination by opening up their many successful businesses, which includes a bed and breakfast, bakery, restaurant, garden, gift shop and much more.</div>

It seems like Asian inspired home décor is popping up everywhere these days. I've also noticed that the Chinoiserie style furniture seems to go fast and furious at the antique auctions. I've been lucky to find a few items at reasonable prices. Below are a few of my favorite examples of Chinoiserie Chic...<br />

I purchased these two bench seats at a local antique auction. Then, picked up some colorful upholstery fabric for the seat cushions and painted them in coordinating colors. The top bench is painted a moss green with a bold floral eggplant colored fabric. I love the finished product! The bottom bench is a little more conservative with a bright green floral fabric and dark gray paint. You can check them out at the Sleepy Poet (vendor #1344, space N-14)....they are ready for a new home!<br />

This gorgeous beach house has a laid back open style with several porches that welcomes outdoor living. Perfect for entertaining a large group...the ultimate party house! There are also a couple of wonderful design features that make this house unique...<br />

1. Built for the warm beach climate. Love that the builder eliminated dry wall on the ceilings so the walls could breathe with less mold mildew buildup. An opening in the kitchen ceiling (see picture above) lets hot air escape upstairs, which means cheaper energy bills. </div>

2. Open to outside living. This is a popular concept but this house really takes advantage of opening up to outdoor living. There are many porches in this home, which includes a sleeping porch. The photo above shows retractable windows from kitchen to outside bar...who wouldn't love to eat lunch out on the porch or take advantage of cocktails after a long day on the beach?</div>

It has a fresh new coat of ASCP Aubusson Blue with a top layer of clear wax. It's distressed along the edges to give it that worn look. However, I decided not to go heavy with the distressing on this piece. I also kept the original brass federal pulls....the brass complements the blue nicely! I am guessing this desk is from the 1940-50s. And, it's ready to go to a new home! (update: This desk is SOLD)<br />

It's that time again when college kids are scrambling to get their gear together. I recall my first college dorm that looked like a prison cell with two standard twin beds, desks and chairs. However, I was lucky enough to have roomie who loved decorating as much as I did. Her mom was an expert sewer so we picked a color scheme and my roommate's mom created curtains, pillows, etc. to match our bedding. We created an awesome room which was the envy of our college hall! I've put together a few cool products and ideas to help with the dorm room/apartment design dilemma...</div>

What was the builder and architect thinking? The most creative designers will find them frustrating. You can either try to hide them or bring attention to the area. I vote for focusing in on the small awkward spaces. I found some great inspiration by adding standout paint, wallpaper, exposed beams, etc. It's especially nice when you can redefine a small space and give it purpose. Check out some of my favs below...<br />

The 2017 Southern Living Idea House is now open to the public for tours on Bald Head Island, NC. Just thought I would do a quick FYI post since many of you are headed to the NC coast for summer vacation. Tickets are $15 and you will need to be transported by ferry to the island. This part of the island is not accessible by car so you might also want to bring a good pair of walking shoes. I'm planning to visit this summer and hopefully post more pics.

I love watching interior design makeover and competition TV shows! And, there's a new design competition show with only 2 contestants on <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/cyrus-vs-cyrus-design-and-conquer/season-1/blogs/how-did-brandi-cyrus-do-compare-her-original-design">Bravo TV</a>. It features a mother vs. daughter called <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/cyrus-vs-cyrus-design-and-conquer">Cyrus vs. Cyrus: Design and Conquer</a>. Yes, they are related to Mylie, Noah and Billy Ray. This mother/daughter design duo features Brandi Cyrus (daughter) and Tish Cyrus (mom) where they are given a budget and present individual design concepts. In the end, they have to work together on the winning design concept. To be honest, I did not expect much out of Cyrus vs. Cyrus because of their celebrity status. However, I was surprised to find that these ladies are talented designers who can stick to a budget. For more info, check out <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/cyrus-vs-cyrus-design-and-conquer">Bravo TV</a>. It's worth checking out!<br />

If you have ever spent any time in High Point, NC, then you are familiar with <a href="https://www.pandorasmanor.com/">Pandora's Manor</a> located near the furniture market. This historic home was originally built for a furniture manufacturer's wife (Pandora) in 1905. What makes this manor so unique is that every room was recently renovated by a different A-list Interior Designer....including one of my favorite designers, Thom Filicia. <a href="https://www.thedesignnetwork.com/series/destination-design-pandoras-manor/">The Design Network</a> is doing a series on the makeover which I found very interesting and highly entertaining. The first episode highlights the original traditional elements downstairs including the gorgeous wood paneling, front porch, etc. There's also a wonderful story about a plate from NC....you'll have to <a href="https://www.thedesignnetwork.com/series/destination-design-pandoras-manor/">watch</a>! It's now a luxurious upscale bed and breakfast so you can you stay there when visiting the High Point Market....check out more photos on their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pandorasmanor/">Instagram page</a>. It's also available for events, including weddings. An overnight stay is on my bucket list!<br />

To be honest, I've been busy and I have not found anything worth posting about during the past couple of weeks. However, I have noticed a few design trends that have been popping up on-line and locally in the retail stores. I thought these current trends would be worth writing about because they are totally opposite from my usual design style...I might make a few adjustments in my space at Sleepy Poet! Here are some of the trends....<br />
<br />
1. Circular shapes with 80's colors. <br />
Have you noticed the furniture shapes becoming more curved? Also, the golds, pinks and teals showing up everywhere...from lighting, rugs and furniture.<br />

This is my favorite trend! The bohemian organic look has been on the trend with terracotta pottery, macramé wall hangings and wood furniture. Love this style because it usually involves a curated look with found vintage items!</div>

And, it is really mainstream this year! Have you noticed
the big box stores are introducing their version of rattan furniture along with their spring/summer outdoor merchandise? <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/collections/34665/">Ikea</a> has launched the coolest Boho rattan furniture called Jassa. This line also includes bright colored textiles that are perfect for the warmer months. <a href="http://www.target.com/p/latigo-3-pc-rattan-patio-chat-set-threshold/-/A-51267971?lnk=fiatsCookie">Target</a> also has a smaller, more conservative rattan set called Latigo which includes 2 chairs and a small table. It is already in limited stock which tells me that it is one of their more popular styles! Of course, if you are looking for original vintage rattan from the 70s, you can always search antique stores or online sites like <a href="http://www.chairish.com/">Chairish</a>. They have an extensive inventory of vintage rattan from clocks, bar carts, headboards....you name it, they probably have it!<br />

However, I am working on a design for a beach house so I'm sitting at my desk dreaming of sunshine and trying to ignore the yucky weather outside. While constructing a design board for my client, I found a few beachy accessories and ideas that I thought worth sharing. These are the extra little touches that take a typical beach house to unique and interesting level.<br />

More wallpaper/fabric patterns...these are from <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/5250330-geometric-maffa-linen-light-by-holli_zollinger">Spoonflower</a> (their site is addicting!). </div>

Another design tip that I love for a home on the coast is to bring in a darker blue color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like using it on furniture and/or trim and then using it in one room like this master bedroom. (Photo: Elle Décor, Designers Andrew Kotchen and Matthew Berman)<br />

I also suggest using pops of color throughout the house especially on furniture and linens. </div>

Buying vintage pieces from a local thrift store to repurpose as art is also a favorite of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mine. I love it when I see a collection of old bathing suits, straw hats, or maps on a wall. (Town and Country)</div>

I'm always on the hunt for cute cabinet hardware and decorative hooks. These are all coastal themed from <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/">Anthropologie</a>....one of my favorite sources for knobs and handles.</div>
