Trend Alert: The Tripod

The old world style has really made a comeback this year-Antique globes, compasses, columns, and very traditional statues are mixed with modern elements to create comfort and familiarity. It's almost like being at Grandpa's house again, but this time Grandpa has GREAT taste! Restoration Hardware started this old world revolution, and it has dribbled into all mainstream design. One way to get this look without going overboard is to incorporate something -anything- on a tripod.

From lamps to binoculars to globes, anything goes on a tripod.

 I incorporated this look in my office by adding a compass on a tripod, and I have to say, it was a hit. Everyone leans in to take a closer look, and it provides and instant overall style to the room.
