Trendey is now wearing a new costume and well, hope you like it! Some fixes remains though and if you see something odd (other than the usual trendey-odd) please tell. Trendey still sorts stuff in what is supposed to be useful categories – so browse around!

Today – or rather two weeks ago,… I just updated this outdated old post about trendey’s now former navigation system – I’m loving (still loving!) this framed collection of orphaned gloves, and the mushroom & lamp-display.

oh, and two more pics from the same lovely, lovely house:

My favourite image in the march/april issue of lonny.

I’ve got stripes, stripes around my shoooulders...

I rather like the impression of black & white stripes in decor. It’s classic, modern and stylish. Stripes work well in any style. How ever the trend winds blow. I love my b&w Bob Pappelina rug, it always fits somewhere. There are some b&w stripes around this Autumn, e.g. in the well-circulated pics above from DAY and Ferm Living. Always classic and an interesting style-break in many settings, right now I’d combine the black-white-striped details with grey, with colour schemes like these, added a bith of warmth.

Personally, I am not particularly fond of modern graphic patterns, I think they often have a disruptive effect. As small details though, they can be really nice..

For large surfaces, I prefer a white pattern against a black background rather than vice versa. These dramatic walls below are really cool I think. And and extra hello to the boho charmig magpies!
