Ever heard the expression "everything old is new again??" Well that's what's new -- old things! I just received today one of the business magazines that I read regularly and that's what they mentioned in more than one article.
They applied it to bamboo - an old, old construction material ( how many thousands of years have the Chinese been using it to build?!?) used in new ways like fabrics and home textiles of all types. In addition to being in these textiles, bamboo will be featured on them and used as the basis for metal pieces too.
They also mentioned the fleur de lis design (pronounced: flure duh LEE) which has been around since the times of the Egyptians but is best known as a symbol of France. It is supposed to represent a stylized lily or iris, and once you start noticing it you will find it EVERYWHERE in home products. And you have to figure that something that's been in style for centuries is going to last a while in your home, right?

Another design that proves "old is new" is derived from the most ancient of all designers -- Mother Nature! One of today's hottest designers - Shelly Riehl David -- is sort of responsible for pushing this trend to a new level. She mixes hot colors, leather, wood, rich fabrics and ANIMAL PRINTS and FAUX FUR to create a look that is very "today"
