Go “Canadiana” in Your Decor in 2010
Did you know that a very hot decorating design trend for 2010 is “Canadiana?” From the Vancouver Olympics to the G20 summit, the world’s eyes will be turned toward Canada this year, so expect to see “cool rusticity” dominate décor. Knotty pine, wood-burning fireplaces and stone mantels have a timeless and now trendy charm. The Bay’s recent collection includes everything from axes to canoe paddles! You may want to stop short of fashioning lamp bases from discarded hockey sticks, but what about candlesticks built from pebbles or a rustic driftwood mirror? (Both found at HomeSense.) If you are renovating, consider tongue and groove wainscotting or wide plank pine floors. And for the crowning glory, why not feature faux antler lumieres which you’ll find among other treasures at http://www.cdnantler.com!
