Much to our dismay, it is still winter. But we’ve decided to make the most of it and get snuggly.
Pillow Party at Whimsy Home Decor
We just updated the throw pillows on our website, and Adrienne and I had a lot of fun during the photoshoot. Whatever your taste, we have something for you. From glam metallic leather pillows to wool throw pillows.

We love Jody, the owner of Tiempo. She always has a smile on her face. And sometimes she dresses up like a clock and runs amok in the 14th and E.Pine intersection.
Jody Dressed as the Tiempo Clock
Jody is the knowledgeable owner of Tiempo, a whimsical, beautiful timepiece shop just down the street from Whimsy Home Decor. Seattle Metropolitan magazine just wrote a wonderful piece about Jody and Tiempo. The next time you’re here visiting Whimsy be sure to stop by and say “Hi” to Jody!

2010 Color Trends January 15, 2010

You’ve probably heard that Pantone has deemed Turquoise the color of 2010. Shade 15-5519 TCW to be exact. At first I had visions of silver and turquoise jewelry; very southwest. I didn’t see how this color could be the color of 2010.
Teri, the owner of Whimsy, just returned from the Atlanta market with news that turquoise had indeed taken over the home decor world. But this isn’t the same turquoise we saw in the 1950s or even the 1980s. In home decor, turquoise is being used as an accent color and it is paired with bright, juicy colors like fuchsia and lemon yellow.
Home decor trends are undeniably influenced by fashion. If a trend has been prominent in fashion for roughly 3 years, you will see it in home decor.
In the case of turquoise, I remember pictures of Cameron Diaz attending the Met’s Costume Institute Gala in a vibrant fuchsia dress, paired with bright turquoise jewelry. That was 2007, now in 2010 we see this exact pairing in home decor.
From the Red Carpet to your Home
2010 is going to be a year of bright, optimistic color in fashion and in your home. The key to updating both your wardrobe and your space is to buy brightly colored accent pieces. That way you can incorporate a pop of color into your current outfits (fuchsia cardigan) and home decor motif (turquoise throw pillows).
Keep the focus on optimism, colorful reinventions of stand-by classics and celebrating your personal style. Have fun! Whimsy Home Decor is here to help you find colorful home decor that reflects your unique style.

Here in Seattle we’re settling into winter, and from the look of the forecast so is the rest of the country, even Florida! It’s time for some serious cozy time.
