Gorgeous stones seem to be popping up everywhere these days! Although not a new home decor trend, quartz,  malachite, amethyst and agate are just some of the natural minerals being featured in furnishings, lighting and accessories. It’s simply stunning how natural rock can be transformed into sleek, beautiful forms that give a space that special touch.

Decorating Trend :: Camels

We’ve seen lots of home décor items featuring animals such as elephants, owls, horses and even foxes. So, what’s the next hottest animal you may be wondering? It just might be the stately, humped-back camel.  There are two species of camel. The first which is native to the Middle East and the Horn of Africa is the single humped camel or dromedary. The second, Bactrain, or two-humped camel, which inhabits Central Asia.

Check out all the beautiful items I found featuring camels!

ELLE Decor asked bloggers and designers their take on quilted pieces and guess what? They ask me! (yippee!) I actually thought the email was spam at first and almost deleted it.  I’m glad I didn’t and am thrilled to be included in their Tastemakers’ Take on Trends.

Thank  you ELLE Decor – you made my day!
