What's In and What's Out for 2011 . . . According to Room Service -- Decorating 101, and Christie Chase

Two favorite bloggers -- Vicky at Room Service -- Decorating 101, and Christie 
at Christie Chase -- share their predictions of What's In and What's Out for 2011. 
Theirs is a continuation of a week-long series begun a couple of days ago. 


Vicky uses this living room below, designed by Charles Spada,
to convey her thoughts of What's In:

 OUT:  "I think we will see a departure of the all "White and Grey" rooms. 

 IN:  Changes will come slow and things will start to look more like this great room from Charles Spada." 

 An interpretation might be marrying interesting classics,
keeping a clean Traditional look, and adding soft splashes of color without overpowering effects.



From Christie Chase:

IN
Fun, styled, quirky family photos blown up HUGE like this one from Lori Andrews:

OUT
Bland blue backgrounds on family photos with forced studio smiles.


IN
Vintage resale chairs upholstered in unexpected modern fabrics -- like the one she did
below as a Do-It-Yourself projects. (She is the queen of DIY; check her out here!!!)



 OUT
Ugly,  worn-out recliners sitting in the middle of an otherwise pretty room.


The fun continues, as more predictions and thoughts come this way....See you tomorrow!
