A space needs to be a reflection of who you are , if not, you will tired quickly. A little bit of trends here and there are great but invest in classic pieces that will ground the space and then experiment around the edges.<br /><br />As for hiring and paying someone for their know how, of course. When I finally buy my house, I am going to hire someone, to save me heartache, time and money in the long run!<br /><br />Keep up this awesome posts, love them!Barbara Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687912436864826801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-86885924902187255872011-04-05T16:50:08.667-04:002011-04-05T16:50:08.667-04:00Great post Anne Marie.

I do think though that it's super important to know how much of your budget to devote to trends. Just enough that you don't mind disposing of the trendy item. You said ti right, spend your money on investment pieces and then you have some left over for the fun trends.Carol@TheDesignPageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295864864829980441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-3295863119855865412011-04-05T12:35:30.643-04:002011-04-05T12:35:30.643-04:00So happy to see you leave a comment on my post tod...So happy to see you leave a comment on my post today. I immediately jumped to yours and read this. We are so on the same page about trends on colour. I do not and never have followed decor trends, unless it can be easily udated/replaced.

What so tricky is when you love something that happens to be trendy--I think your love can fade as the trend gets saturated, just from seeing it everywhere. Tricky, tricky, tricky!

It's as insulting as the term "soccer mom" UGH!! Why would I want my house to be "trendy"? That seems like a waste of money b/c trends change in the blink of an eye. My walls and larger pieces of funiture are neutral and all my pops of color are in my accent pieces, pillows, lamps, etc. I do all the painting myself which only costs me the price of paint and all my own sewing which I only pay for material. My blog list keeps growing and I have to say that without blogs I wouldn't really know what direction I would want to go. BUT, I take certain looks and piece them all together so that the room is ME. I have learned and made a lot of mistakes over the years as a homeowner. There is no wrong or right way to decorate, it's all personal taste. Thank you for clearing up the misguided author of the article you read.

But again, not everyone has the capacity to understand this. Majority think beige is beige and white is white.<br /><br />I'm not saying this to be negative, but the fact is that, same as with music, not everyone has the sensitivity to understand colour. Everyone's senses are developed differently.<br /><br />Just my observations.<br /><br />PS. in terms of pricing, I knew the hourly rate ahead of time, and I was upfront about how much time I wanted. So there was no surprise at the end. And the designer was very accommodating, giving me many options to work within my budget. Loved her.<br /><br />PSS. Sorry for rambling, but I really trully believe that colour consultations are worth every penny. And I"m lucky enough that my husband is on the same page with me :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717683959293876114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-22790213023466455792011-04-04T14:07:18.643-04:002011-04-04T14:07:18.643-04:00Thank you for a great post!

I've heard comments directed my way that I"m trying to be trendy. I actually considered not going with gray just to stay away from trends, but common sense won over :)<br /><br />Also, I wanted to say that a lot of ppl think that they can choose colours on their own, and that is simply not true. I've had two colour consultations so far and believe that it was the best investment I made in my house.<br /><br />I also want to say that I try very very hard not to buy things because they are trendy and mix existing items with new. I happen to love mid century modern, but try very hard to choose items I buy in that particular style. I don't want my house to be over run by them, no matter how much I love them.<br /><br />lastly, thanks you again for a great post :) trends don't matter, what matters is that your house is a home to your family. Cozy and inviting. Trends or no trends.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717683959293876114noreply@blogger.com
