Trends 2010

Well, I guess I'm fitting right in with some of the top trends according to HGTV. I just received their newsletter, and on the list are some of my favorite things.

1. Mercury Glass.
How can you not love Mercury Glass. It's just so beautiful. That weathered surface combined with that sparkle, it's vintage bling baby! For me, I think it brings back memories of my favorite old Christmas ornaments. I picked these candle holders up over the holidays.

I also ran across this DIY project over on Ruffledblog.com via The Everyday Bride, using a Krylon spray paint called Looking Glass. I might just have to give this a try.




2. Fireplaces
There are so many great gel fuel fireplaces out there right now.
Such a cool idea for adding some drama to just about any room. I've had my eye on this fireplace on Overstock for ages. I just wasn't sure where to put it. But with a recent brainstorm, I think I've found the perfect spot. So on my wishlist it goes.

3. Headboards
Well, after much thought, I pulled the trigger and purchased an upholstered headboard for my master suite remodel. I opted for this one. I just purchased the headboard vs. the entire bed. I got a great deal from Target. 10% off and free shipping! It's a creamy faux shantung, which I have to confess looks amazing, but I am worried about it keeping it clean. Ahh, the things we do for the sake of design and a beautiful (I hope) room.
