Trend Watch: Modern Rustic

New Year's wish list: adding modern rustic elements and bringing the outdoors in. Are these on anyone else's list? Hi there! I'm Michelle, and today I thought I'd keep it real and give you a peek into the 2018 trends starting with a news flash: faux rustic is no longer in. So skip the galvanized tin letters on your Living Room wall and go for something more authentic. 

Today, I'm talking about natural, raw, and rustic elements. I'm always a fan of making things feel as natural as possible, so this is a trend I can get behind! I love using stone, wood, and other rustic elements in a space. They bring so much texture and warmth. The neutral color palette these elements have makes it a perfect backdrop for decorating.

If you're not ready to dive into this trend just yet, try a piece of rustic furniture or lighting! I LOVE seeing a vanity, coffee table or large rustic light. The possibilitie are endless!
