National Decorating Month
April was National Decorating Month and I hope that our blog posts helped inspire ideas for your home! Let’s revisit some of our favorite antiques and decor posts from April.
Gray popped up as a hot decor trend for 2014, so in National Decorating Month I wrote a post on Gray Decor in the bedroom & living room. Gray is so adaptable. It works well with natural materials in a rustic country setting and in sophisticated city rooms. It's great with exotic or heavy textures too, like this Castilian themed Ambella Home bedroom.
Our Madrid dining chairs client spotlight about Heidi's chic dining room also emphasized the beauty of neutral colors. Heidi has a set of our linen-upholstered Spanish style chairs in her dining room. The pale gray paint on the walls and the light tones of the carpet and chairs give a fresh twist to the room's traditional Spanish Mission style influence. Heidi's dining room is perfectly timeless but also perfectly NOW!
For a splash of color, you don't always need a big decorating project. I think it keeps the spirit of National Decorating Month to use smaller accents and creative touches to ring the changes in your home. For example, our client Bunny sent us this photo of her kitchen adorned with old Italian Deruta ceramics she bought from us. See more in our post on the sunny Mediterranean style of hand-painted Vintage Deruta Ceramics.
During National Decorating Month, Greg and I worked hard at spring cleaning and sorting some of our older stock. The good news for you is that we've slashed prices by about 40% (or more!) on some beautiful antiques and vintage pieces that are still waiting for a good home. See some of our favorite bargains in our Spring Cleaning Antiques Deals post. Or visit EuroLuxHome.com to browse for deals on antique furniture, lighting, clocks, ceramics, and other smaller items.
Finally, we celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2014 and we're having great fun remembering highlights from our early years. If you want to know what NOT to do when a slab of marble on an Art Deco sideboard breaks just before a major antiques show, read this post on our First Atlantique Antique Show. We had a Laurel and Hardy moment involving the marble, too much glue, and a glass-topped hotel table. It's funny to look back on, even if it wasn't so funny at the time!
Thanks for spending National Decorating Month with us. We'll share more ideas and inspiration about antiques and home decor in May.
