Modern Flintstone is a Design Style Y’all
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones…I could sing this whole song from memory. This was one of my favorite shows when I was a young child so this design style really resonates with me. I know you’re saying “what the heck is Modern Flintstone and it isn’t a Design Style”, but hear me out. There’s definitely a certain aesthetic that’s trending now that made me think of what Fred’s house would look like in modern times. Lots of stone that makes you literally think of the Stone Age; mostly round and curvy shapes and pale or neutral colors. It’s like a combination of Modern Organic and Japandi with natural materials in the forefront. Also, I’ve rarely seen any electronics out in the open.
The 26 Best Trending Summer Shoes
Summer is officially here and I’m taking a look at all of the summer shoe trends. They are all flat, because I have a particular affinity for flat shoes and I’m so glad that they’re still in style. I have to say that TEXTURE is the word that describes the Summer of 2024. I have broken down trends into four categories and I’m sure there’s something for everybody. There’s certainly throwbacks with a twist and some new styles that I’m craving. Sit back and enjoy.
Our H.O.M.E. Community Project
I am on the board of RESA Atlanta, which is the Real Estate Staging Association and we spearheaded a community project with H.O.M.E. (Helping Oppressed Mothers Endure). H.O.M.E. is a non-profit organization that offers help to single mothers facing hardship through the gift of furniture. The mothers could be going through divorce, domestic violence or just in need of starting over. We learned about this wonderful organization last year and we knew we wanted to work with them in 2024.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
