Sometimes …
just sometimes …
if you wait around long enough, what’s old becomes new again. And suddenly you find yourself back in fashion again.
Well, sort of …
Take bangs, for instance. They’re experiencing a surge of popularity. Again.
Me? I’ve been sporting bangs since 1965.
Then there’s the eyebrow. Turns out the power brow is all the rage …
and, no, they’re not bushy. Or unruly. They’re powerful!
And now I’m hoping my blue and brown color choice in the master bedroom comes back in fashion again. I chose this palette back when blue and brown was all the rage. Okay, I’m not sure it was raging. But it was getting it’s day in the sun. And that, my friends, was probably six or seven years ago …
When I finally painted the vaulted ceiling 2+ years ago, I remained committed to the blue. Mostly because I had the fabrics. Fabrics that, in the end, I ended up changing up …
The other big change over the course of the past six or seven years is my flip and then flop from hating gold to loving gold.
Again.
Now I’m just two gold knobs away from a final bedroom remodel reveal.
I wonder if the blue and brown décor color palette will come back into style by the time they arrive.
I think the houndstooth and the gold freshen up the palate and make it new. And the light brown is not dark brown like the original. I did a little aqua and brown in my bedroom when we first moved in, but it didn’t last…
I am not someone who gives in to the trends—worked too hard in high school to be “popular” and learned that it’s just not my thing. I like the freshness of a houndstooth, and the fact that it’s in a color other than black updates it! I think blue is your consistent color, and it’s great to keep it moving through the house. Just my two cents.
My family room n Virginia is decorated with a Southwest flair. I know people wonder why I have orange Venetian plaster next to my brick fireplace, but it says “home” to me. Just go with what you love, girl. Then you won’t get tired of it.

Blue and Brown went out of style?
Say it ain’t so !
And I’ve fallen in love with gold again too – really deeply passionately in love – and those gold knobs look gorgeous – will be back to see the final reveal
( do your drapes have bangs? )

I love the houndstooth pillow! I have a lot of blue and brown. You should always do what YOU love in YOUR house. 🙂 Can’t wait to see the final reveal.
Blue and anything have always been my favorite colors! I can’t wait to see the reveal 🙂
