Wow!
Didn't this year go fast! It is a bit scary, especially since I see my children
turning into adults with one foot out the door. It has been quite a first
year for me in the blog world I have met such wonderful people and I thank all
who have supported me along the way. I never thought I would enjoy this as much
as I do, and I think it's due to my love of decorating, art and learning from
others.
So
I asked myself “What does 2013 have in store for Interior Design?" I am
not sure if these are my predictions or my wishes for design but I did come up
with 10 things I would like to see happen over the next year. If you have any
wishes for design as well, please send me your comments!
I
would love to have a prediction from all my favorite bloggers and post them, so
send at towncountryinteriors@yahoo.com!
I am wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year celebration and great things
for you and your families for 2013!

Return to using our formal settings and not just keeping them in storage! |

It's amazing how many interiors we do that the home owner does not want greenery added! I think every home should have something even as simple as the above Cloche terrarium! |

Don't be afraid of old things!! Add some antiques. They don't have to be pricey just interesting, and just think you are recycling!Antiques and Interiors On Dunlavy. |

Lets get back to investing in artists! There are some fantastic art work out there, some expensive some very reasonable but all add life to a room! This one I just had done by Maureen Chatfield, I haven't even had a chance to hang it yet, but I LOVE it! |
