Traditional is Patient, It will wait for you.

I've been reading comments from other designers & bloggers lately, that they're tired of their trendy pieces like MCM furniture, industrial pipe shelving, Beni Rugs and Poufs. They are ready to get rid of them and go back to Traditional!

With the saturation of design trends seen on Pinterest, Houzz and Instagram, when a trend is done, it is DONE! 

So when you are Sooo tired of Sputniks, Ghost chairs, Burlap and Grain sacks, that you're ready to clear the room and start anew, Traditional will be there to give you a breath of fresh air.  Traditional is not jealous of MCM or French Farmhouse, it has been waiting patiently for you to return to the Classics!

Traditional is calming, comfortable, familiar and pleasing to the eye.

 There's a reason it has stood the test of time. The proportions are perfect. It is balanced. Palettes are cohesive and relate to the architecture of the home. 

Here are some of my favorite Traditional spaces.  They are the images I reference when I feel my spaces are feeling a bit on the trendy side of things rather than classic and timeless.
