Guest Post via Cheap n Chic Living

Thanks for having me dear Stacey.  I'm Chic 'n Cheap Living and I love design just like our dear Design Addict Mom! This year's fashion trends are all about bright colors and combinations.  While that makes for beautiful outfits and fun interiors, I also think a clean palette with neutral colors can be gorgeous as well.  The classic American designer Bill Blass knew how to keep it neutral and elegant in his clothing and his home. A piece of furniture or decor can make a statement if it is beautifully constructed and flows with the rest of the home. Whether this is with matching chaise lounges...
...small sculptures,
...an unexpected print on the chairs,
...or a collection of vintage prints
What are your favorite neutral pieces for the home?
Thank you so much Chic n Cheap Living for this wonderful guest post today. Hop on over to this lovely blog and feast your eyes! Have a lovely Wednesday everyone. XX

    The styles that I find here chez Stacy are just breathtaking and have given me so much more insight as to how I can use color in my home. SO ELEGANT and well put-together, these designs have the possibility of expanding my repertoire....I can't say I will ever abandon my love for FRENCH flea market style, but I can certainly MIX now that I have seen what can be done. BRAVO!!!! Anita
