Vintage Brass
Celery Green
Lace Curtains
Animal Lamps
1. Vintage Brass
We are still in a serious economic slump and I think that decorators, stylists and designers alike will be utilizing whatever might be lying around their grandma's house. Enter vintage brass. Its beautiful, durable and will easily mesh with most any style you desire. So polish up those old candle sticks and get them out on the table!
2. Celery Green
This is going to be the big color this year. Its fresh, bright and yet, still a neutral. Whether you go dark or light its good on the walls, on the furniture or used as pops of color here and there.
(And look... vintage brass AND celery green together!)
3. Lace curtains
Back to my earlier comment about dragging grandma's decor out into the open - we're in a recession people, use the old stuff! That Victorian by-gone, the lace curtain, will be making an appearance again in 2011. And not just over windows - it will be up-cycled on throw pillows, bed coverings, lamp shades, etc.
(And look... lace AND celery green together!)
4. Animal lamps
All you have to do is walk through Urban Outfitters or check out the new Jonathan Adler line to know that animal lamp bases are going to have a strong showing in 2011. Personally, I don't go in for the woodland animal lamps, but a big horse or lion head - count me in!

Loving your trend spotting! Especially the brass and lace.
We have those exact duck head bookends!! (They were John's mothers.)
I think you are psychic, by the way.
could not agree more! love.
I have a feeling that you're right! And I hope so... I'd love to give some of these a try.
wonderful piece, Sarah. great images....you rocked that one right outta the park....
I think your *spot on* Sarah!! The vintage brass has been calling to me this last year and so has the celery...now I know why! ;)
I think you are right on target- I have the brass lamps and lace curtains and would totally love an animal lamp- the only one I'm not so keen on is the celery but that's only because I look terrible in green so mostly avoid it- my sister just painted her living room in celery so you are probably right on all of them. This is a fun challenge this month!
So lovely!
Amazing pictures :)))
LOVE
