Edmonton Decorator | Gardening Trend 2015

The Insider's Guide to Decorative Mosses


Whether fresh or faux, indoors or out, I find moss to be a charming way to add texture and appeal to your home and garden.

 The Japanese have gardened with moss for centuries. Valued for its reduced need for watering, its greenness is considered to add a feeling of lushness and serenity to Japanese gardens.

 So, how does your garden grow?

Edmonton Decorator | Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year

Benjamin Moore is one of my favourite paint manufacturers. And in addition to Pantone, I look to them for the upcoming colour trends.

I've been saying for a while that green will become the new "IT" colour in interior design and decorating. So, I was pleased to see Benjamin Moore name Guilford Green as their colour of the year for 2015.

But, is this Benjamin Moore paint colour a "bore" or a "score"?


I will admit that I have not seen this colour in real life. But my verdict is, that this colour is a BORE. I love green for its calming effects, but I find this shade to be far too reminiscent of out dated hospital rooms and elder care facilities.

Benjamin Moore also published a list of of their "green family" for 2015. Thankfully, this list had some redeeming colours. I love the vibrancy of Split Pea! It would be great in a kitchen or living room. Antique Jade and Sea Horse both get honourable mention. The other colours are utterly forgettable.


So, what do you think of Benjamin Moore's Guilford Green? Do you rate it a "bore" or a "score"?

Don't forget to check out the rest of the design collection for 2015.

Edmonton Decorator | Design Trends | Connect the Dots

The Polka Dot Door and More

I've been spotting them all over the place: blouses, scarves, shoes, purses, gloves and even on manicures. And what dominates in fashion, is soon to follow in home decor. What am I talking about? It's polka dots, of course!

I've gathered some of my favourite images that show the playfulness and versatility of the humble polka dot. From big to small. Bold to muted. There's a dot for just about every style.
