Today starts our Semi-Anual 3-Day Sale within all stores! In honor of this sale we wanted to give you some inspiration (yesterday's post here) and some info. on the Springtime trends of 2013. The original list of trends can be found here

This post shows the trends we look forward to and the ones that can be met by shopping our selections!

Elegant, graceful design
"Enough with the plain. I think people want pretty, and I predict a surge in demand for classic fabrics like Colefax and Fowler's Bowood." —Leta Austin Foster
Let's be real, having a reason to be elegant and graceful is always nice. So this trend can be welcomed with open arms and serviced by our store selections of different prints and textiles!

A warm, homey kitchen

Homey kitchens
"We're moving toward a more organic modernism with warm, modern materials that look vintage: slate, irregular floors, weathered concrete, natural crackle-glazed tiles that look handmade. Less slick kitchens!" — Peter Dunham
I feel like us Southerns made this trend trendy. Who doesn't love a homey kitchen? A space doesn't have to be old for it to be homey. Find different elements that make you feel more at home like our florals and other little home accents!

Emphasis on art
"Everyone will be focusing on art — it's so much more approachable these days, with art fairs popping up everywhere." — Sara Story
You don't need an art fair to grab some amazing art. It's easily accessible through our stores and we'd love to help you with it!

Dabs of bright primary colored paint


Bright paint colors
"Photoshop, HDTV, and hi-res computer screens have dialed up our sense of vision. Our rooms will be full of brighter, more saturated hues. I just used Life Savers candy colors on a project and plan on using them more." — Stephen Shubel
This trend is, of course, a fun one! Like yesterday's post, Springtime allows for bright, bold colors and that doesn't just stop at your decor! From accent walls to the entire room, changing things up with new paint can be the bump of inspiration that makes you happy this Spring!
