With the economy in the doldrums these days, it is no surprise that people are turning to some of the tried and true methods to save money and make everything stretch just a little bit further. Some of Grandma's daily habits are now being looked at with a fresh eye instead of the disdainful smirk they received not very long ago. With all this focus on the past, country décor has taken a step back to the days of the country farm. Farm animals like cows, sheep, and roosters are being shown on wall décor and fabric tabletop items. People are often included in the scene with the farm animals creating an idyllic country day. While these items are often created for use in the kitchen, some of the items, particularly the art prints, are large enough to use in any room. The hottest color for the kitchen this year is yellow. It goes well with the country animals and is a cheery color to brighten the spirits. Now that we are spending more time in the kitchen cooking rather than eating out, we want a space that is warm and welcoming and the color yellow fits the bill. Fruits and vegetables are still a large part of country décor. Many different fruits and vegetables can be grouped together or the focus can be on one particular favorite. After years of dominance by strawberries and blueberries, the cherry seems to be the coming back into favor. Its bright red can offer a splash of color to many different room decors. The country look remains less cluttered than it was in the recent past decades. Grandma's frugality did not allow for lots of little knickknacks. The homemade look is still important in country décor. Quality handmade goods are what Grandma made and handed down, so today's handmade items need to have a superior quality to them, not just a sloppy, get it done fast look. The items are often practical and/or made of recycled items. Many people are looking for items made in America to support our own economy.
