Color Trends and Inspiration

It’s Not Beige, It’s Greige Out with the old, in with the new. Just as in fashion, where we see trends come and go, (and sometimes come full circle decades later) decorating has its trends that move with the colors of the year(s). For quite sometime now (i’d say over the past 2 years), gray has become the new beige and it’s making a statement like no other. Gray is such a calming color but it can be bright, light, dark, subtle…no matter what, it’s always soothing to the eye. This is the very reason I’ve been convincing my clients to use so much gray lately, especially on the walls! It’s the perfect neutral that will cohesively tie any room together.

Style Tips and Tricks

DIY Decorative Tray I love decorative trays because there are so many uses for them. You can use them to serve food (preferably breakfast in bed!) or you can put them on your bar cart or coffee table to serve cocktails. You can also use them to display jewelry, perfume and nail polishes. The best part about this tray is that it is made with a picture frame. This lets you switch out the design inside the frame with your changing decor.

Local Faves and Raves

Gobble, gobble — Turkeys roam the streets of Berkeley Perhaps buoyed by the passing of Thanksgiving and Christmas — not that the wild variety is often to be found on the plate — turkeys are making their presence known on the residential streets of Berkeley and Albany.
