Did you know Barbie’s celebrated hot pink has become a design trend? So much that they are calling it Barbiecore?
What do you think? Would you follow this trend? I may not mind painting my walls pink and getting a few accessories in pink, but I don’t think I would invest in any furniture in hot pink!!

Trends VS Fads
February 22, 2024
Trends:
- Trends tend to be more timeless and can last from 3-10 years
- Trends are more low-key and easier to live with than fads
- Trends tend to take the classics and “alter” them a bit
Fads:
- Fads don’t last long, just around 2 years
- Fads tend to be “hot”
- When the fad hits major stores like Target, it’s a good indication that it’s over.
Can you tell which of these items are trends or fads? And where is it in the cycle: beginning, middle, or end?
So, how do you know where your items fit in the design cycle? This is where a designer can help you stay on trend without making the mistake of choosing items that are fads.

Attic Tent
January 18, 2024
When I moved into my current home, the first winter was brutal. I live in a high ranch, the attic stairs leading to the attic, standing under those stairs, feeling the cold coming through the cracks, burr…..it was cold!!
I thought I was not going through another winter with that issue, so I researched and found a solution: an attic tent. What an ingenious idea! Who knew? I purchased it and installed it, and what a difference it made. No more draft came through, and it was so much warmer.
So if you have attic stairs and it’s drafty, try an attic tent. You’ll be surprised.
