Now that we've launched into a brand new decade, we though it would be fun to recap some of the hottest furniture painting and home decor trends from the past decade!

2010 | Pastels

2011 | Stenciling

This was back in the day before vinyl sticker stencils became popular and everyone still used regular, hand-held plastic stencils. Don't you miss it? Photos by The Happy Housie
