If IdealHome is right, looks like we have pretty palettes and feminine touches to look forward to in 2009. This is alright by me..as I loved almost everything they predicted! How about you?


I'm not a big fan of most wall stickers, but I adore the ruffly rose pillow, and Ikea's tiny little side table!

The light blue accent color they utilize here is one of my favorite colors, and white of course!

IdealHome also predicts that metallic will stick around, but perhaps in slightly subdued patinas like mother of pearl.


I love this palette! Duck-egg blue and rose! It's so relaxing and pretty. I also love the neutral, eco-friendly look of the couch- though my books are never all the same colors...


Restaurant style dining is in they say. I think anything to encourage everyone to eat at the table and not in front of the tv is a good thing!

Floral prints - I love what textile designers have been doing to modernize the floral print, like this sketchy, half-colored upholstery.


A striking bedroom in always chic black and white. I love the french gray nightstands and the old luggage used as storage. The headboard is just foam core, mdf, and fabric!
