Stationary
{Trend} Pineapples and Horses
I know what you’re thinking… pineapples… horses… together? Who knew I’d ever put those two words side by side, and yet, they live and breath. I’ve really been noticing a lot of pineapples and horses in decor magazine trends lately. It’s different and there are many design options depending how you want to incorpoate this trend. I’m not one for “trends” per se, but I don’t mind sprinkling like items in my decor.
Pineapples
I first noticed this trend in the December 2010 Living Etc. magazine. This Meg Mathews Silver Pineapple Wallpaper is pretty interesting. I can see it in a tiny bathroom, talk about statement for your walls! And a great conversation starter if you’re brave and love pineapples! I can also image this wallpaper in that cottage in the woods kitchen, all white washed cupboards and this on the walls, talk about drama!
Here is some simple pineapple stationary, very tropical chic.
Crane & Co. Engraved Pineapple Ecruwhite Notes - The symbol of hospitality for centuries, a golden pineapple is hand engraved in fine detail on these ecru white notes. Matching envelopes are lined in satin gold. Great for sending a welcoming note to a new neighbor.

Horses
Of course, Thomas Paul always has amazing designs and I found this
Thomas Paul Imperial Horse Linen Pillow – Java from www.designpublic.com
(one of my favorite online stores).
How about these horse pillows from another favorite store of mine, BurkeDecor.com, and all by Thomas Paul again (I think he has a thing for horses).
And what really started it all, my writing this post that is, is this cover of the December 2010 cover of Western Living, a Vancouver based design magazine. What a great way to add intrigue to design by adding the Moooi horse lamp, it caught my eye.

Are you moving soon? If so, you’re in luck! Why not notify your family in friends in style with the Espresso Moving Card. I don’t think I’ve seen this before but what a great idea… and I must say it’s very chic! I especially like the espresso color and the scriptive silver font. It’s so very retro but modern at the same time, a great design and idea all around.
