Red, White, and Blue (timeless & true)

Sometimes it's hard to put a design together and not be afraid of a "theme". Rooms with a theme can show an expiration date very quickly. Even if you have something you would love to incorporate into a room to show your personality, the thought of it going out of style or you becoming tired of it too quickly makes the investment not seem worth it.

There are, however, themes that will stand the test of time. I'm all about investing in a timeless design! What theme can we showcase here?.........and the winner is "PATRIOTIC"! Red, white, and blue is such a timeless color combo that will never feel old or outdated! Let's look at a few examples:

Classic patriotic 
 
Clean, comfy, inspirational

Playful patterns make this patriotic color theme feel young and fun, not to grown up, but mature enough to make any child proud to have it as their room
This red white and blue living room doesn't scream patriotic with the eclectic items it showcases, but rathert makes me think big, bold, beautiful!

A tribute to Purple

You can't say enough good things about purple! Did you know that purple is a hue that can be both warm or cool? That is what makes this color so special. Purple can be masculine or feminine, loud or soft, calm or exciting! It is a timeless hue that, in my opinion, will never become a fad. It is here to stay!

Do you love purple, but afraid to use it? Well, let's take a look at a few beautiful ways to use purple:


Here is an example of how purple can be masculine and bold
Here we see how purple can be bold, but it plays nice with black and white.
Perfect example of a lilac purple being soft and relaxing. It balances the room brilliantly with the rough textured walls.
Here is an exciting way purple is feminine, but used to make a room bold and inviting!
Here is purple finding it's proper place with these beautiful, tufted dining chairs
Purple is the perfect color to say HELLO, welcome and  please come inside and have a cup of tea!
Fashion and Interior Design play hand in hand in our world. Puple is not a fad, it's a timeless color that will never fade away. It was here yesterday, it's here today, and will be here well after you and I are gone.
