Many people know of Anthropologie as an eclectic women's clothing store. Some people realize that they have some décor items - but Anthropologie is actually one of my favorite sources for rugs for the home. They not only have a lot of different styles but also a huge amount of options, and so different from what's available at other retail stores.

If you're old enough to remember the popularity of burnt orange and lime green in the 70s or teal and pink in the 80s you understand the concept of a color trend. And if you don't remember those wild combinations, maybe the spicy hues of traditional Mediterranean décor from early in this millennium will ring a bell. Color trends influence more than the literal color of our interiors, they can also influence the style of décor and even style of architecture that defines an era. The 2016 home color trends lean towards fresh, neutral colors that won't become dated before the paint dries. But don't worry you lovers of bold color, 2016 hasn't forgotten about you.

There is nothing more relaxing in the winter months than relaxing by a cozy fire.  Not only do fireplaces provide a heat source, but they also add a wonderful focal point to your room.  It's undeniable that a fire in the fireplace lends a certain desirable ambiance as well.  We hope you enjoy the following fireplace designs!
