Colonial is the most traditional of American styles, but it’s making a comeback. With simple lines, muted colors, a reverence for wood and other natural materials and an emphasis on handcrafted details, why wouldn’t it?
Better Homes & Gardens has a fabulous online piece about updating colonial style. And it includes some simple, amazing DIY ideas.
Some of my favorites:
Using ready-made ceiling rosettes as wall art (above).
Colonial reproduction furniture in bold colors.
A lamp shade accented with yarn.
Simply framed crewelwork.
