Ombre — French for "shaded or graduated in tone" — has been big in fashion and home decor for a number of seasons and the next step on that trend train is dip dye and tie dye. I've left the hippies in the drum circle and rounded up a number of decorative items and DIY projects for tasteful tie dye and dip dyes.

Nope, still ugly, sorry.
A little dye goes a long way. I love it.
I like the dip-dyed stuff better. I'd only want a piece or two, though -- not a whole bedset, like in one of the photos.
I love the sheet set in picture #1 and the shower curtain.
I love the tie-dye. Check www.peacestore.com and sign up to be notified when the website goes live. Amazing Tie-Dye Bedding and Towels (and t-shirts and sweats).
I think that it's fun for outdoor patio furniture pillows...
