<br /></div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the time of year when color enthusiasts aka designers are very excited about something other than holiday decorating. Once again, the Pantone Institute has announced its <i><b>Color for the Year</b></i>. For 2015, its </span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>MARSALA</i></b></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">...</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not to be confused with cranberry or burgundy, this rich hue is a deep red with brown undertones. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_H5tiDpYE5k/VIHhokYoISI/AAAAAAAAKZs/Ix3tfgEXEpc/s1600/55ba768593465d0f67998b54df8f1a81.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_H5tiDpYE5k/VIHhokYoISI/AAAAAAAAKZs/Ix3tfgEXEpc/s1600/55ba768593465d0f67998b54df8f1a81.jpg" height="640" width="402" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's what the Pantone Institute had to said about </span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Marsala</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement color when used on its own or as a strong accent to many other colors.</span></span><br />
<div class="coy-header-perspective" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness.</span></div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add elegance to any room by incorporating this rich and welcoming hue in accent pieces, accessories and paint. Marsala’s plush characteristics are enhanced when the color is applied to textured surfaces, making it an ideal choice for rugs and upholstered living room furniture."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

What else should we expect from the chic fashionista?</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before your home is filled with merriment, you'll need to deck the halls. The easiest holiday decorating trick I use is to fill a vessel with ornaments - vases, bowls, cake stands, jars, whatever. You can use anything you have around your house or find at your local Bed, Bath and Beyond, HomeGoods or even the dollar store</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">:</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's usually easiest to find a photo that you love to use as inspiration for creating your own holiday decor. Either way, here's how to get started:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First, gather all of your extra ornaments, trimmings, vases, platters, candles, etc. that you have around the house. Next, get some greenery from your (or your neighbors') yard. Depending on the container, start with the greenery as a base. Then add the ornaments, trimmings, candles, etc. Stick in some greenery here and there as filler (if necessary). Just experiment until you come up with a look that pleases you. Have fun with it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">This trade show presents over 325 exhibitors of furniture, lighting, wall coverings, fabric, seating, accessories, artwork, carpet and flooring, and bath and spa materials. BDNY attracts 5,000+ designers, architects, purchasing executives and developers in addition to hotel owners and operations who also attend IHMRS. </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This year's BDNY leveraged its growth spurt with two floors of products as well as 10 panel discussions and interactive workshops including the signature Owners' Grill Session. </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> has become one of my favorite trade shows because it features both experiential and practical aspects of hospitality design with some of the most innovative products available. The resources I glean from this show provides unique products and ideas to present to my clients for residential design as well.</span><br />

When I put it in writing, it truly resonates that that was a long time ago as the picture below depicts.</span></div>

One such trade show that allows me to do so is NY Now, </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">previously know as the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF). </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Drawing 35,000 attendees from all 50 states and 80+ countries, the fair is held in January and August at the Javits Center and Pier 94 in NYC. The fair hosts 2,800 exhibitors showcasing the best in home, lifestyle and gift lines.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Trends in interiors often follow fashion. Color still reigns supreme. To contrast that, I spotted a trend towards black & white - another big fashion trend this season. I also noticed quite a few vendors featured textural elements and metal finishes in their wares. Feathers are a big trend featured in every thing from lighting to accents and accessories to wallpaper.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every morning, I send off my husband with a kiss and a "Have a good day!" Our conversation didn't quite go that way this morning (and I'll leave it at that). On my way to drop off my son, I realized that I left my keys on the kitchen counter as soon as I locked the door behind me. Luckily my son had his keys with him. Then while walking my hyper, 10 year old but still acts like a puppy yellow lab, I broke my favorite red glitter flip flops. So I thought, boy did "I wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Halt, I had to stop myself. </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I said "Hold up Self! No Ma'am!</span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although things are starting off a little rocky, I am not going to let this shape the day. At least I WOKE UP THIS MORNING!!" </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few minutes after my "re-focus", someone reached out to me about a job for my college-bound son. A little later, my husband called and we discussed our earlier exchange with the both of us admitting our parts. </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The moral of the story - it's all in your perspective.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My client is a bachelor with a beautiful home who renovated almost every room in his house. After a major bathroom redo that went way over budget (for the record, I was not the interior designer on that project), he was finally ready to tackle the kitchen. </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While the kitchen had good bones and was in good condition, it was certainly dated. He joked that his mother would kill him for wanting to change a "perfectly good kitchen." And he definitely kept me on a tight reign with the budget (but I love a challenge).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here's what I started with...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0e8pr9RIMl4/UgWSeDdEtiI/AAAAAAAAIqU/2TyVtGxSthk/s1600/BeforePic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0e8pr9RIMl4/UgWSeDdEtiI/AAAAAAAAIqU/2TyVtGxSthk/s640/BeforePic.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We kept the cabinets because they are hand made by the previous owner from solid pine and in good condition (and the budget didn't allow for replacing them). We removed the wallpaper, replace the formica countertops with granite, installed a tile backsplash, changed the sink, the faucet, the cabinet knobs and the light fixtures. Although he was reluctant, I convinced him that the floor had to go. All the new elements would make the floor stick out like a sore thumb. So he agreed to up the budget, slightly.</span></div>
