One of the hottest new Design trends of 2012 is Ombre. A French word which translates to “shadow”, Ombre is simply a gradation in hue from light to dark or dark to light.

When I first started to notice the Ombre hair trend, I thought the celeb really needed to get to her stylist. Now I understand it is a “look” and not a way to simply save on Salon visits.

Super post Linda!!!
I’m loving the trend…it’s a fun one! I can’t wait to see your new website….it will be so worth all of your hard work:) congrats on tackling such a huge task!

Thanks so much Jennifer. As far as my new website… I too will be so glad when it’s done. I probably have gained at least 5lbs. since working on my new site because I have done little but sit in front of my monitor for 8-10 hours a day for the past two weeks.
awesome – i love this look and the images you shared! but those roots would make me too self-conscious . . .

me too Kristie, and in my case they would be gray..definitely a look I am not ready to embrace.
I never saw a desk painted like that- really love that look. You will do so well this year and you will be ready for it! I feel sorry for you on the computer- it is such a lot of work!
Thanks Kelly
Also, thank you for being my very first “like” on Linda Holt Interiors.
