A New Year!Time to take a look at the house & think about a new color on the wall, or painting or reupholstering some furniture....sometimes it's some new curtains or pillows that will do the trick. It seems that after taking all of the Christmas decorations down, it is time for something new!
Shall we have some fun by taking a look back at color trends in 1958 from Better Homes & Gardens ?
We love the colors above in the blue and green pallet of Group #9.
It is quite calming - don't you think?
Group #1 looks like it could go in a lot of homes right now. Look at those teals and, especially, those greys!
Group #2 is the Earth Tone selection for readers in 1958 - we love this color board....we even love all of the fabric & carpeting choices!
Now...how about Better Homes & Gardens
HOT Color Predictions for 2010
Take a look at the paint swatches....there's a lot of similarities to the 1958 color boards.....
It just goes to show you that, once again, what is old is new again!

Doesn't the house look so empty when we remove the Holliday decorations? Great color choices for 2010...it's going to be a great year!!!
Yahoo! That mint green is the color on my kitchen countertops! Perhaps I don't have to update after all...
Makes me want to paint!
Happy New Year to you!!
Hugs,

Gorgeous color girls! I'm a fan of the #1 group... reds are my faves.
Hahaha! what goes round comes around?!?!?! It's like that with everything tho isn't it? from fashion to hair to shoes to colours, etc.etc. etc.
I love that! What's funny is that the first picture at the top has like every color from my house in it! I love blues, greens, and browns in all shades :) Interesting how things really do come back around!
I love the colors in the third swatch! My kitchen is ready to be transformed!
