Trends for 2007 - Ready, Set, Go!

Quick poll... Your top five nesting magazines? I sink my teeth into Selvedge, Domino, Living Etc, Elle UK, and Canadian House + Home, examining, reading, marking, tearing... I'd say they easily qualify as my top five. The January Canadian H+H was the strongest of the bunch this month though because they carved out a mouth-watering section devoted exclusively to ten hot trends for '07.

For those of you that missed this issue*, I'll highlight some of these trends here on decor8 this week, along with adding my own picks for places (on the web) where you can find items to create the look. I'll also throw in paint colors that I suggest -- hues that best suit the trend. That way, if you feel like painting your walls, you'll at least have a few color choices. I work with three key lines; Pittsburg Paints, California Paints, and Benjamin Moore. Since Ben Moore is the most affordable, and provides exceptional coverage for the money, I'll list most of the paint options from Ben Moore. I'll also try to throw in some fabric options, lighting, furniture, book suggestions, even music and food just for a fun twist.

Ready? Okay. Let's get started. Up first is Mad About Morocco... Stay tuned!
