And secondly, centered doorknobs are making their way from Europe to North America. I posted earlier this month about circular moldings on doors, but the centered doorknob can be present with or without the millwork. Let's take a look at these two trends:
via La Dolce Vita
Love it! Now let's take a peek at those centered doorknobs. Apparently some are cosmetic, while others have a mechanism running the width of the door to allow them to function. Either way they are chic!

Favourite trend: I agree - gold. I have added a few touches too.
Over-done: Ikat - I don't mind chevron {I am a sucker for stripes and and variations of stripes}
What to expect to see in the New Year: tough one - more bold use of colour and bohemian touches to the home
What projects am I tackling? {When the weather warms up, I am painting the brown out of my bookcases! - just read The Perfectly Imperfect Home, and loved the comment about brown drains the life out of a place! - good bye blah Ikea!}
What was your favorite trend of 2011?:
Definitely the injection of black, with windows & doors, even walls.
What trend was over-done this year?:
Not a fan of Ikat so I am going with that.
What trends do you expect to see in the New Year?:
More attention to every space in the home, just not the main living areas but the secondary spaces like mud rooms, pantry's, and walk-in closets. Every space needs to be amazing in your home!
What's the next project you're tackling at home?:
Wallpapering the powder room and repainting our dining room & butlers pantry. We have only been in the house a few months but I am ready for the change...and the 5 homes we currently have under construction, all so different!
Happy 2012!!!!!
Ohh Gorgeous! I ADORE circular door moldings too, and I'm intrigued with the centered door knobs! Sure looks great combined with the molding =)
I'm so happy for your friendship too Nancy, I've been following along your awesome blog, although I haven't had much time for blog commenting =( Hope to have a bit more free time for being a better blog friend in 2012 =D
