Decorating a Dining Room Sideboard

Start With a Blank Canvas

Clear your wall and the top of the sideboard. If you’re rearranging your furniture, leave at least 3 feet between your piece and the table.

Hang a Mirror and Framed Photographs

Center the mirror vertically instead of horizontally for a more interesting arrangement. Using similar frames keeps the look cohesive.

Add a Lamp and Accessories

Combining items that range in scale and size helps achieve a balanced but not symmetrical arrangement.

Give a Southern Twist
For the finishing touch, bring your room to life with an arrangement of magnolia leaves in a footed bowl.

Fun wine fact

Cork vs. Screw Top

Move over, cork, and make way for screw caps. Today, screw caps are replacing corks on more than just inexpensive bottles. Currently, screw caps seal 75 percent of Australian wines and 93 percent of New Zealand wines, and they're gaining popularity in all countries, including here in the U.S.

Wine Toppers

Found at Distinctively Home in Battle Ground, WA. is a cute set up Wine Toppers!  These handy little plates fit right on top of the wine glass, keeping out pests if outside and also act as appetizer plates!  Come on in and purchase a set.

2013 Color Trends

2013 colors are sophisticated options that invite you to embrace a neutral pallet For Your Home.  Pantone predicts that neutrals will make a major comeback during the next design cycle.  The bright, shocking colors of the last couple seasons will give away to a more soothing backdrop for this year’s trendy accessories, lighting and furniture.  Neutrals need not be boring, or colorless.  Focal points are not always based on color.  Folded and sculptural shapes, intriguing textures, luminous finishes and an emphasis on nature inspired motifs such as feathers create opportunities for focal statements that transcend even reliance on color.

Color Movements

• Lighter blues and navy increase in importance.
• Leathery brown becomes more important as a basic.
• Olive becomes stronger.
• Purple is still evident.
• Brights have a singular status for winter.
• Camel evolves into cappuccino and creamy hues.
• Yellows become softer and less sporty.
• Reds are becoming more orange.
• Traditional winter darks and berry colors are more mid-toned and less blackened.
