Reflections of summer’s past have their nostalgic influence on the colors we find this summer. As the world economy continues to find its way out of the recession, we look back to happier times for hope. Influences of sentimental pieces with distressed finishes that are tarnished, hand scraped or reclaimed brings back memories. This style lends comfort to living spaces, but can be used with sleek, glossy pieces to soften their sometimes impersonal feel.

This mixing of styles and finishes also is influenced by the continuing mix of generational and cultural styles. Eclectic fusion of old and new, natural and technical, authentic and fake gives inspiration to our own unique style. Nothing matches, and
that is exciting and new!  Look to designs that are traditional, but have a new twist or color update that is unusual. This summer’s palette of colors is both soft and muted, but also deep and intense. Have fun as you explore using these contrasting colors in your decorating projects.
