Wow, today was an amazing day! Our group spent the majority of our time today at the Maison&Objet show - it's the reason we're here, after all. We saw lots of amazing things at Maison&Objet. Everyone agreed that this show is much different from those in the US that we are used to. The show was very easy to navigate - the trick was following what they call the "red carpet" - which is literally a red strip of carpet that will help you wind around all of the halls.

Fall is hands down the homiest season. It's during this time of year that many of us begin nesting as cold weather comes our way, and if you're someone who hosts holiday parties, fall is spent making each room in your home look good enough for guests. While a full renovation is too big of a project to take on every time the leaves begin to change and the holidays peek over the horizon, it's actually quite simple to update your home for fall by adding pops of the season's trendiest colors.

Meet the millennials who prefer a nostalgic design aesthetic inspired by the quirky comfort of their grandparents' homes and the opulence of bygone eras.
Some call it grandma chic, others label it forward-thinking traditionalism and another set dubs it preppy eclecticism. But devotees of the style have been nicknamed "grandmillennials" — a portmanteau of grandma and millennials.

Back in the day, when you reached a certain age and had no one to care for you, you'd be sent to the "old folks' home" to live out your remaining years. Then, "retirement villages" came along, replacing the stigma of the old folks' home with a vision of spending one's "golden years" relaxing, soaking up the sun, and playing a friendly game of tennis or round of golf with your new neighbors.

Some people have the gift of interior design. They can look at a blank space or, even more challenging, a half-decorated space and know upfront how to evenly weight the practicalities of life and objects and personal style in one design. They can mix patterns you would have never thought could go together, add storage in dead space you hadn't considered, and suggest new materials and tools that were unknown to you.
