~ What is in store for 2024?! Las Vegas Winter Market at LVDC - Showroom Super Styling and Summary
Dec 26, 2023
We hope you are enjoying a happy and healthy 2024 with much to look forward to. Let this be a year of peace, prosperity, design and remodeling! As an Empath I sort of intuit trends rather than predict them. As I get older I have also learned to be true to my own aesthetic. Much like my wardrobe, I find I am sometimes right on trend without even trying! This looks to be one of those years. I have always leaned into retro styling and turquoisy blues. I’m pleasantly surprised to see beautiful…

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! As we move into the season of gratitude and giving, we at Kerry F. Decor, wanted to reflect on all that we have to be grateful for. From having wonderful clients, to being published in neighborhood newsletters, to Staging and Styling all types of projects, it's fun to look back on our journey to where we are today! While we're thankful for all our projects, large and small, there are some that we recall with a special fondness for different reasons. One of our biggest remod…

Wabi Sabi & Japandi ~ SUSHI ANYONE?
Aug 12, 2023
If I asked my husband how he felt about Wabi Sabi or Japandi his mostly likely response would be “You know I’m not a big sushi fan. Is it on the Happy Hour menu?” Meaning if it’s under $5.00 he’ll try it. And if I responded “They’re not food, they’re Design Trends!” He would likely say “Why are you even having this conversation with me?” Sigh…. It’s no surprise that nature themes and elements keep showing up in all varieties of design. Light and white spaces are taking over and there is a h…

Last week Las Vegas hosted no less than 5 trade shows related to the world of Design and Home Building, IBS, KBIS, NHS and TISE, in conjunction with Las Vegas Winter Market. Click here for more info . While I always try to spend at least one day at Market, I was lucky enough to see KBIS too. Being an empath it’s hard to be in large crowds and overly stimulating environments. So I did a quick dash in and out of KBIS then headed up to Market! Here are some takeaways, mainly described in pictures…

A New Year Means Exciting New Design Trends! What Is The Difference Between Trend and Fad?
Dec 20, 2022
2023 spells new design trends. Let’s start by comparing trends vs fads. What is the difference? Basically shelf life. An Interior design fad lasts about 2 years while trends tend to arc in a 7 year cycle. In my humble opinion it’s what sets apart professional design and D.I.Y. Designers know what’s emerging with their private access ‘to the trade’ and shows like Las Vegas Market. A good Designer will have their pulse on what is about to break-out with exclusive access to it. When you sta…

Last week was Summer Market at Las Vegas Design Center, considered by many to be in the top 5 of National Interior Design Expos. I attended with my girl friend Carisa whose family has a long history in the furniture business. (You might recall her kitchen reno we did last Spring. https://www.kerryfdecor.com/SCOOP/carisa-s-kitchen) We came, we saw, we shopped, we ate, we drank and then caught a ride home! Here are some of our take-aways on the hottest trends at Summer Market: Top…

2 AIR BnB Or Not 2 AIR BnB?
Jun 21, 2021
This is a question I’ve seen posed many times in several chat rooms. As an owner and host there are definite pros & cons. Here are 3 different perspectives to this dilemma that I can think of: The Guest. Have you stayed in an Air BnB? I have. They all were very nice, well managed, creative and cozy. Take our Rental in South Beach. I think it was something like 246 square feet! (It was nicely appointed, making the best use of space with a mini kitchen, queen bed and a 4 piece bathroom.) …

EXISTING ECOSTENTIALLY
May 15, 2021
EXISTING ECOSTENTIALLY To quote Kermit the Frog~ “It’s not easy being green.” Living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge. I try to eat whatever I want in moderation. At parties I will indulge in things I never buy for home and I’ve become a very big label reader. I find a lot of things deemed ‘healthy’ are not even close. Isn’t there some FDA rule about how much a product has to contain to be labeled ‘natural’ or organic? (the most OVER USED WORD in the English language btw). My vegan …
