I’ll admit I go easy in the trend department.  As I grow tired of things rather easily, I’m not one to grab a trendy wallpaper and paper away.  But I will use trends sometimes to accessorize  if I really love them and want to make a room pop.  Usually I switch things up for the season and that will sometimes include a trend I’m loving or maybe I see a trend and then see a new one coming from it just around the corner.  This summer has been filled with pops of color, patterns and textures.  From florals to stripes, ginghams to polka dots, the summer trends of 2011 have been fun that I can say for certain.  Here’s my top ten list of the summer! What is your favorite? What trend that I didn’t mention do you like this summer or you think is coming just around the corner?

I am loving the florals and stripes this season! They are so cheery and make a home feel like a home that you can live in.
