2023 Back at it

Welcome back !!

I started this blog in 2009 to correspond with my design and decor business. Just prior to and during Covid showing up we moved.  It was to happen just prior to Covid but plans change. I wasn't doing much on my blog at that time, but there were a few interesting posts in 2021 and 2022 in the archives.

I planned to retire, however I had some former clients contact me and I couldn't resist doing some small projects. So... here I am working on a couple of projects and getting back to my blog now and keeping up with what is happening in design. I never really stopped checking out design and decor trends.  I am passionate about this business so I may get my feet wet in my new town which is Dundas, Ontario.

I will be sending this post to people who were following my blog way back as well as other contacts I have kept up with. I am hoping you will start to follow again but if you don't wish to,  just ignore or let me know and I can remove you. 

All the best in 2023.

PANTONE COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2023

Welcome to 2023!

I have been a  little behind in posting this past few months but I am back in the saddle as the saying goes. Unfortunately my computer is still on a break, however I believe it is back now.

Every year the Colour Marketing Board announce what they deem to be the colour of the year.

All the large paint companies also offer the colour of the year from their palettes.  This year the CMB has selected Viva Magenta.18-1750.  They describe it to have vim and vigor.  It comes from the red family which expresses strength. It is bold, brave and fearless and promotes optimism  It connects to nature which is a theme throughout the design industry as well as all other areas such as graphics and design, fashion, beauty, home furnishings and accessories.

I have to say it is a very uplifting and cheerful colour which we can enjoy after the past few Covid years.

Below are a few bright photos which certainly are alive and fun. 

My next few posts will be about the 2023 Trends to look forward to.
