So I'm not one of those people who can predict the Pantone Color of the Year like 3 years in advance (hello, Carla Aston). Well, I'll take a stab at it. Let's say.... tangerine for 2014. (UPDATE: everyone is reminding me that we already had tangerine. Oh yeah. Totally forgot. So lets go with greenish yellow instead). We'll see. I gave it 3 seconds of thought, so that will be pretty amazing if I'm right! As for trends, who the heck knows what is here to stay? But I'm going to guess on the trends, very scientifically based 100% on whether I like it or not :)

Trend #1: Animal Legs on Furniture
I'm going to start with the one trend that I absolutely hate, and I don't hate many. But these animal legs drive me crazy. Do any of you like them, or do you find them creepy like I do? Bravo for creativity to whoever thought of it, but yuck for the creepyness factor. So I say they are going (and not soon enough in my opinion):

| Love the room, just not the stool |
I'm sorry in advance for showing you these even worse ones (HUMAN legs) - these freak me the freak out:
Trend #2: Faux Bois
This has been around forever I guess, but has gained in popularity lately I think. Her to stay I think. I like it, don't love it, in general, but I DO love these two subtle examples:
Trend #3: Moroccan poufs.
Love love love these. I had a client who wanted one because she had one growing up. So, based on the fact that I love them (and so do my kids - we have two. Poufs that is. Well, and kids, too), and that they have come back at least once, I say they are here to stay:
Trend #4: Faux Taxidermy
So I hate the animal legs on furniture, but I adore Faux Taxidermy. Go figure. I just think this is so cute. I'm not sure if it is here to stay (it would kind of lose it's charm if it were I think), but I do love it:
Come on, tell me this doesn't make you smile:
And a final funny story - We had THIS EXACT TABLE growing up! I swear to God. AND
my mother had good taste! So I don't know what she was thinking. I was
little, so maybe it was a joke and I just didn't get it. Although I don't recall my parents having money to waste on coffee tables for a joke. So who knows. Classy, eh?
That's all - see you tomorrow!
