Valuable Collectors’ Items
Should you be wanting to downsize, or declutter, or perhaps clear out an estate be aware that some items may not look like anything to you but can be of great value. This is how valuable sculptures or paintings find their way to a garage sale for $5 as opposed to $1,000,000. Per this list put together by investing.com do your research.
Wainscoting
I stumbled upon an ApartmentTherapy blog post which features wainscoting to liven up an otherwise “boring” living room wall. It’s a good look! But my question was more is this an isolated situation or wainscoting back. So I googled some and found that indeed it is on trend. I remember finding a list of on and off design trends which had them off. It seems to me if a victorian house has them they should be kept. As for adding to a newer house – i think sometimes it can work and other times not belong.
China Cabinets
According to apartmenttherapy china cabinets are making a comeback. They are not necessarily being used as they were back in the day, but they have been rediscovered as a practical piece of furniture. I have to agree! I mean they are a great storage piece. Really the piece of furniture that provides the most storage.

Upcoming Design Trends for Fall 2023
Perhaps to counter my my blog post of dated trends, this post by Realtor.ca presents upcoming design trends for fall 2023.
Dated Trends
A little humour for Friday. This blog post, though from earlier this year, presents trends that are so dated it seems like a post from another time. Of course in my mind there are a few trends that I’d keep.
- The illustration of the pastel bathroom is alas one I like. A two toned pastel time capsule of the 50’s I believe should be preserved and worked around.
- Wicker furniture – those seem nice.
- The cat statue isn’t a design statement but a luck talisman originating in Asia
- Bird baths – well ornate bird baths may be out but I’m sure there must be some that are acceptable.
