This casually elegant room was inspired by a brown and cream colour scheme. The Stylus sofas are traditional, but comfortable for socializing in front of the fireplace that is surrounded by 1" mosaic tiles. The room is full of display space for family pictures and momentos as well as storage in the coffee and end tables from Stanley, and the custom cabinets that flank the fireplace.

I had the opportunity to decorate a lovely row house in Kerrisdale, Vancouver. It was a great opportunity to showcase the latest trends in traditional Christmas decor. I started out with a "vanilla gold" tree, and used brown, cream & bronze accents t decorate it. Metallics like gold, silver, bronze & copper are hot colours for Christmas decor. Rather than the usual "brassy" glitter decorations, I used antique glitter decorations, which were more subtle and classy. Another popular detail is natural elements. Twigs, birds, berries and fruit to name a few, is seen much more in all decor, not just Christmas decor
This is, of course, just one of the many schemes that are exciting and new. But watch next year.... you may see more gold trees in the stores.

Accessorizing your home is like the icing on the cake. It is important that it is practical for your lifestyle, yet pleasing to everyone who comes to your home. Use things that are meaningfull to you. Even the Royal Doulton porceline doll you inherited from Grandma can find a place amoungst your displays. Its fun to add new and trendy things to mix it up. You can splurge on items that are worth it. But mostly your accessories don't have to be expensive. You'll see that natural elements are very popular. Seashells, coral, wood.... Use woven baskets to hide some of the things that don't add beauty to your display. Make sure you display similar coloured books together, and place some vertically and some horizontally. I carry a number of the most stylish acessory lines available. Let me know if you want to add a certain something to your display.
