Coming up with our take on the year’s hottest new looks is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job. But this year, there are so many fresh style directions, I found myself wondering how readers would be able to work what they liked into their existing decor. Where would they begin? How would they decide what to keep and what to move out? It occurred to me that what we needed was a real-life room update. That’s when design editors Stacey Smithers and Joel Bray had a great idea: do exactly that … in my living room. It was the perfect decorating exercise, so, even though I knew it would be hard to give someone else the reins, I agreed. I admit I wasn’t as easygoing as I’d wanted…

GLENNA WEDDLE AND ANWAR MEKHAYECH Trendspotters, “On the Scene” (page 24) What design trend do you wish would go away? Faux-distressed everything. It kills authenticity. Our decorating resolution for 2015 is… to focus on outdoor spaces for our house — a whole new design for the façade, landscaping and backyard. A piece of furniture we’ll still love years from now is… our set of white rattan Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs. BETH HITCHCOCK Writer, “Grand Entrance” (page 68) What’s on your wish list for the New Year? I’d love to bid a not-so-fond farewell to the track doors on my bedroom closets. What design trend do you wish would go away? Posters with sayings on them. One piece of decor I’ll still love years from now is… the vintage kilim in unusual tones of…

For more letters: houseandhome.com/rsvp I’ve been reading H&H for years now and love this magazine, but I’ve never come across an issue so full of beautiful and scrumptious interiors as the November 2014 issue! Seasonal decorating ideas, breathtaking homes and yummy food ideas made me linger over every page. —CATHY MASEK I love your magazine and look forward to when it drops in my letterbox — but it’s October. The cover of the November issue, trumpeting that Christmas — still nearly three months away — is just around the corner, felt a bit premature. — JENNIE I thoroughly agree with Jillian Harris’s praise for Sadie Ann McMurray Antiques in Mission, B.C. (“A Good Vintage,” November). I went there recently and found a piece that I’d been looking all over for to complete one of my…

STYLE IDEAS EDIT, EDIT, EDIT! Nam Dang-Mitchell I want to embrace the beauty and serenity of spareness. INVEST IN ART Anne Maxwell Foster, Tilton Fenwick I’ve been dreaming of owning a photograph by Karen Knorr. I hope 2015 will be my year! I have my eye on Avatars of Devi, Samode Palace, Samode from her “India Song” series for above the fireplace in the weekend house my husband and I recently bought outside of New York. GET CREATIVE WITH UPHOLSTERY Nick Olsen I’d like to use upholstery in unexpected places. Everyone loves upholstered walls; why not also treat the doors and ceiling? It gives such a cosy feeling. I’m loving fullyupholstered furniture, too: think fabriccovered Parsons-style tables and chairs. ADD POLISH Jonathon Litchfield, Litchfield I’m excited to see trends move away from “reclaimed” and “rustic” toward a more refined aesthetic. What feels…
