Last week I spent time at the World Market in Las Vegas. I found tons of new products for our retail showroom “The Workroom”.
Bohemian Ikats, Classic Chevrons and Greek Keys all were the “trend” for furniture and textile markets.
Dress from Zuhair Murad Couture, from The Prettier Version.
I am loving all the color that is showing up for home decor. Rugs in over dyed bright hues…
Classic Stripes in colors that pop…
Tiffany blue lacquer…fun for the office.
Still in the line up: Washed out linens, lots of hides, game with metallic accents, mother of pearl accessories.
Bohemian is still front and center.
Dress by Diane Von Furstenburg, from Allure.
Modern classics in traditional and some not so traditional colorways. I am always excited to see the trends and inspiration from the runway make its way into home decor.
Trends coming together… from La Dolche Vita.
Keep checking back for updates about our retail space and design studio the Workroom, at 1909 Centinela Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90404..opening to the public this spring…

Happy New Year! One of our favorite things at Annette Tatum is to see the creative ways our fabrics are used. So, we were thrilled to see our new collection of Boho Fabrics featured in the Block of the Month quilting project on Craftsy! This quilting how-to video series is being lead by the very talented Amy Gibson, of the adorable crafting blog, Stichery Dickory Dock. The tutorials are just getting started, so if you have a desire to learn how to quilt, this is an amazing opportunity.
This is a year long monthly video series, and each month Amy will teach 2 new blocks & 1 new skill. By the end of the year, you will have 20 finished blocks, and will learn to add sashing and borders, baste, quilt, and bind, resulting in a lovely quilt, all in our new Boho Fabrics. We love the eclectic look of quilts, especially on a daybed with lots of pillows. We are offering one of Amy’s followers a chance to win a one-of-a-kind neckroll pillow to go with their finished quilt.
Head over to Amy’s blog Sitchery Dickory Dock now to find out how to enter. The contests ends Jan. 5th, so don’t miss your chance!
We can’t wait to follow along throughout the year to see the progress on the quilt. Thanks again Amy!
There are always magical elements in a child’s room that are homemade or one of a kind. To me, the “do it yourself” philosophy of room decor is what gives a room personality. There is nothing better than a gallery made up of your child’s artwork or favorite photographs. Whatever it is that makes you smile or reminds your child of a special accomplishment or event…I say post it. Put it up on the wall for all to see. If you ever wonder what makes a room unique, the answer is found in those who live there.
Framing your child’s art can send a message to all that what your child creates is beautiful and special. It is always nice when the work speaks for itself as an expression of the individual.

Little expressions here and there like a handmade daisy chain add whimsy to the room. For the more ambitious, creating one-of-a-kind, magical canopies can be done easily. Or you can embellish a store bought one with ribbons and other elements to create a lovely statement.
Banners of self expression, added with a little bit of this and that, are what makes a room yours. The pairing of the not so perfect is perfect.

Keep adding to your child’s room as they grow. You are never too young or too old to practice the art of self expression—especially in your own room.

Thank you so much to Very Rosenberry for featuring me on their blog! It was so fun to share my inspiration and favorite parts of designing. Head over to their blog for the full post. Thanks again!
Instead of wondering what the “elephant” in the room is… try adding a little “zebra” to your fashion mix or home decor and watch what happens. Zebra is stripe to a perfection. Always a classic and never out of place. Zebra is the perfect way to add a little bit of the wild to your design palette.
Fashion has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to animal skin….
Zebra area rugs are a great statement and other accents in a zebra stripe always seem to work in a room.
Large statements of zebra patterns…
there are many ways to add skin to the room…

Love the idea of zebra on the floor… taking the animal idea to another level. There are so many choices for zebra pattern. Great faux ones exist as well.. so you dont have to “hunt” one down to have one.
Thank you to Glo for featuring some of my before and after room transformations on their Dazzling Do-Overs. Go check out their post to see some of the fun and creative ways to transform spaces in your home!
