We, over here at Tweed, are currently obsessed with the “it” color of spring — anything and everything yellow. Vibrant yellow is making a splash in  interiors and fashion alike. From kitchen islands, wallpaper, accents and evening gowns — yellow is not so mellow. It may not be your go-to color, but if you give…

While the rest of the country is experiencing March madness, the world of design is enjoying Moroccan madness.

I have to admit a topic for Décor 8750 this week was not easy. We at Tweed always have lots to say about stripes and color and tile, etc. but my design partner and I seem to have the same discussion  over and over about why people don’t like to take risks when decorating. Everyone…

6x_Chand_Cranberry

Who’da thunk it? Hunting season may be over, but the remains of the day are everywhere. We are talking deer and elk antlers in home decor, a trend I could never have predicted. And no, we are not dissing those accessories as kitsch. We are not dissing the trend at all. Just putting antlers in…
