November: Trend Watch

This month feature is on cabinetry hardware:

Cabinetry hardware is often over looked and forgotten in a space. It can really direct your design for a room, while pulling it together and adding the sparkle that every space needs.

• Here are a few of my favorite's:

These "Ice Cubes" are a splurge, but you won't be disappointed with the sparkle

and glamour that they will create in your space.

These ultra fun knobs are definitely a conversation piece. Adding unique choices like this will help your home stand apart from the rest on the block.

The scale of these knobs (2" square) will demand your attention.

These handles have a look of rebellion to them, while still holding that glamour factor.

The simplicity of these handles are beautiful. I also like how the lines have a slight wave to them, creating an elegant look while still maintaining there contemporary edge.

October: Trend Watch

At the start to every month I will feature a design trend

This months feature is on graphic area rugs:

As we are heading into winter, it's a great idea to cozy up your spaces, adding moody colors, textures and warmth. Adding an area rug to a wood or tile floor will instantly warm up your space. Instead of adding a solid rug, try a graphic pattern for instant drama.

Here are a few of my favorites, including links:
