They Dressed a Traditional Home with Skinny Jeans

January 27, 2017 · In: Design, Home Tour, Interior Design

Lime Wash Brick

“Skinny Jeans are going out” some fashion blog proclaimed a few weeks ago.  My daughter was reading the article and I snorted and exclaimed melodramatically with a fist raised towards the sky that I would wear them til I die.  My sister-in-law, who happened to be visiting with us, snorted and said very matter of factly, “Good thing I never bought a pair” and pulled her leg up to show her wide legged boot cut jean.

Modern trends are like skinny jeans.  Some of us love them.  Some of us are just waiting for the next trend.

First, if you don’t like a trend, don’t follow it.  It’s ok to let a few go by.  If you like what you’ve got, there’s no reason to rip it out and replace it just because everyone else is.

But, if you happen to want a little change, even your traditional home might like a pair of skinny jeans.  Here are some modern trends you may want to consider no matter your style!

Painted Doors:: This blue is so striking!

Gold Accents:: What was out is back.  Will it be here to stay?

Dark Walnut Floors:: Rustic  and distressed may be moving in, but walnut is still a best seller.

Color from base board to ceiling. I was just talking about this!

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
