Never gave it much thought, but love the ceiling #10. the neutral colors make it.
I hope the trend is dead! Please stay in 2011.

Love this trend! I don't care that it's become trendy either. I can't help other people like the same things I like. :)
So what will be the 2012 trend?
New trend? Weren't we doing chevrons in 2005? It's so hard to keep up....
Only Charlie Brown pulled off the chevron.
Camouflage 2012!
I admit it. I jumped on. But in small doses.

I didn't jump on this trend, but I love it nonetheless.
