Dear Jane-Marie,
decorator
I'm addicted to lightened wood.  Maybe it's from years of living in the land of Early Americana where medium to dark wood reigns supreme.  Maybe it's a revolt against my "orangey" oak trim.  Or, maybe it's this more organic look that I'm striving for and the look of lightened wood evokes thoughts of nature. 

If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, you can learn more about August's Product of the Month in this great article from House Beautiful.  It takes the mystery out of words like pickled, cerused, limed and more.  See below for recent examples of this style that originally became popular in the 1950's.  I think you'll agree that the look can work in a traditional or contemporary environment.
 
Sincerely,

Jane-Marie
