The Bungalow Project: 2012-02-12

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's day yesterday. Being a new blogger, I have learned, so far, that the more I think about design, houses, blogging, whatever...I start finding more and more out about myself and the things I really love. I wanted to share something that I've really been loving lately. Lattice work. Some may say trellis, I say lattice. I'm seeing it everywhere! It's really chic right now I know, I know, lattice is not a surprise, but it has always been a design that struck my fancy. What I am finding out about myself is that, I just love good clean classics. Who doesn't?! But I never veer to far from those kinds of things. You know, things like subway tile, aviator sunglasses, jeans, chesterfield sofas, hair in a bun, yadda, yadda. If my hair was long enough I would whip it up in a bun and plop on a chesterfield with a good classic book right now. My point is, I know it's overly trendy right now...sure. But I think current trends are new growth of old roots. I'd love to use this design in the new basement family room. Remember the $30 relic that's going down there (below) ?

I want to keep it clean and simple with a solid color fabric but jazz it up with pillows for the back. Or maybe just all pillows in place of the current orange wedges altogether.
Like these?...

I have always loved Chippendale, so I just want a little, more cost effective, piece for that in my own environment to appreciate.

I may end up using a rug instead of the pillows, but either way, when I'm over the trend, I can change it guilt free because I didn't do the whole sofa in it.
