It's Spring Break! Enjoy a few DTT Classics while we, and we hope you, enjoy some time with family.
Get off the trend hamster wheel! If you are following the trends you'll always be behind, and you'll never get ahead of the game.
The anti-trend is all about going classic without worrying about what is 'in' and what's 'out'.
The anti-trend means you create your own signature style so you are never 'off-trend'. Listen to our podcast episode how to create your own style HERE.
Here are some classics that have stood the test of time and aren't 'on trend' but are always 'in style'.

| 0:00.0 | Our trend is no trend at all. |
| 0:11.5 | Hi, I'm Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:16.5 | Today we're discussing the anti-trend. |
| 0:19.3 | I think this is a great topic for us to cover. |
| 0:22.4 | It is. So anti-trend decorating. And the speed with which trends come and go, especially now with |
| 0:29.1 | Instagram, TikTok, and even on Pinterest, it is a crazy rapid fire speed of trends coming in and |
| 0:37.2 | trends going out. |
| 0:39.0 | And let's just think back a little bit. |
| 0:41.4 | Maybe the early 2000s, the Tuscan Renaissance, the vineyards, the cypress trees and |
| 0:48.8 | boston backslashes and corbels. |
| 0:51.9 | Does that ring a bell for anyone? |
| 0:57.7 | Is anyone still in Tuscany? And then we went on to the distress painted cabinetry. I almost fell prey to that. I was so close and I didn't do it. And I'm so |

| 1:18.4 | And then most recently, the 80s came back. Did anyone say that? That was like a blip. |
| 1:23.0 | The shiny brass, the loud color. But needless to say, each had its day and now we're so over it. |
| 1:31.0 | So if you had a Tuscan kitchen and you woke up one morning to realize you actually didn't live in |
| 1:35.5 | Italy, and then you were in the pains of redecorating or pulling that kitchen out, it's a costly |
| 1:43.1 | mistake. It's so costly to go deep into these trends. |
| 1:47.7 | So we want you to avoid decorating like that, not only for the aesthetics, but also for their regrets. |
| 1:54.9 | You know, this is so interesting because I just redid a kitchen, as you know. |
| 1:58.9 | Oh, it's beautiful. And we'll talk about that later on another episode. |
