<div style="text-align: center;">Hello LBD fans, I'm Tiffany and I blog over at <a href="http://tiffanyleighinteriordesign.blogspot.ca/" style="color: #8e7cc3;">Tiffany Leigh Interior Design</a> about my decor inspiration and my studies in interior design school!<br /><br />I'm thrilled that Elizabeth invited me over today while she is away on vacation (lucky lady).<br /><br /><br /><br />Fall fashion this year is calling for lots of army greens and camo wear.<br /><br />Often we see fashion creep into decor, but this one might be a bit trickier. Too much and it could start to look too masculine, or worse...themey.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUgiIymXcoFmgcAHfyHCrrWkXa8Mk6Ls8eUOQY5fhGCGEV7dcB12puEIS549JHFUiOz3TGTSncXYgRpp224-o142uK2RFxN35-Kbn4AJsGsp57nA41R3NC-wvDC_TNYWau1OYHGbbyCUv/s1600/camo+pants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUgiIymXcoFmgcAHfyHCrrWkXa8Mk6Ls8eUOQY5fhGCGEV7dcB12puEIS549JHFUiOz3TGTSncXYgRpp224-o142uK2RFxN35-Kbn4AJsGsp57nA41R3NC-wvDC_TNYWau1OYHGbbyCUv/s1600/camo+pants.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/44543483784751428/">via pinterest</a></td></tr></tbody></table>The key to getting this look right in fashion is to keep it a little edgy (notice the leather jacket), mostly neutral (the hat) and add in some feminine touches (the gold nails and black pumps!).<br /><br /><br /><br />With this in mind, I've gathered some pieces to show you how to translate this fashion trend into timeless home decor:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYN4zFlY8yN1FZ7b8nELsmGyhIOnDVoqwzUVIAGjItgdgpB2LyyWTF8aIKeCINwyse_iXjwiplQc7cBBMrXYa6aiXVC0_AP8Ftf9hnksA08qjXmEmqXvwnNa2PBCkUgih_K_CfRt2qtNfv/s1600/get+the+army+look.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYN4zFlY8yN1FZ7b8nELsmGyhIOnDVoqwzUVIAGjItgdgpB2LyyWTF8aIKeCINwyse_iXjwiplQc7cBBMrXYa6aiXVC0_AP8Ftf9hnksA08qjXmEmqXvwnNa2PBCkUgih_K_CfRt2qtNfv/s1600/get+the+army+look.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Kevin-OBrien-Studio-Deer-Decorative-Pillow-in-Twilight-DEE1420-TWI-OVB1043.html"> 1 </a>/ <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/102751397/abstract-art-painting-black-white?ref=sr_gallery_30&ga_includes[0]=tags&ga_search_query=black+abstract+art&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=black+abstract+art&ga_includes[]=tags&ga_view_type=gallery#">2 </a>/ <a href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/code/44321.do">3</a> / <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/5952353/?catalogId=56&bnrid=3917995&cm_ven=AfCmtyCont&cm_cat=CmtyContOth&cm_pla=GAN&cm_ite=Std">4</a> / <a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=19167&catalog=filter&menuCatalog=room&menuCategory=201&menuSubcategory=198#">5</a> / <a href="http://wellappointedhouse.com/Products/157951-the-well-appointed-house-antique-gold-drum-garden-stool.aspx?clickid=0004c7e10ae936460a2a06129e0052ef">6</a> / <a href="http://www.stephenkenn.com/#">7</a> / <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_willow">8</a> / <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/93696851/two-gold-brown-olive-green-gray-black">9</a> / <a href="https://www.tonicliving.com/productsDetails.asp?categoryid=87&productid=1062&currentpage=2&onsale=0">10</a><br /><br /><br /><br />The main army piece in this room is the chair:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OJfZf_gNVr3OkIBwvLtth1jeiiuNu3ROeJVv6wr46Z1PIPNvC71ExwSZ0KX86RIKougNryTezEg57FRNCm-BkpSFS8Kw_TGPkzwnzsLVzZDGFnLbl4-9mKgZ2Im235FLa0LOI_ygkxma/s1600/army+chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OJfZf_gNVr3OkIBwvLtth1jeiiuNu3ROeJVv6wr46Z1PIPNvC71ExwSZ0KX86RIKougNryTezEg57FRNCm-BkpSFS8Kw_TGPkzwnzsLVzZDGFnLbl4-9mKgZ2Im235FLa0LOI_ygkxma/s1600/army+chair.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stephenkenn.com/#">via Stephen Kenn</a></td></tr></tbody></table>It's actually constructed from genuine repurposed WWII military fabric. How cool is that? A conversation piece with a sense of history. It works because the khaki green colour is a classic neutral.<br /><br />The floral pillow uses the same colours as camo and the deer head pillow creates a slight hunting feel.<br /><br />The silver tray, bronze garden stool and blue sofa help to break up the army motif and add contrast.<br /><br /><br /><br />Let's see how this motif has been used by others:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuYS7zsThhvaOC7MGUpFFGElnYiHZM8HOQ_5pi4r-Yk8pM0_u-M2HPKyxHOcp4fE3t75ZoSG9jA8iKHcEzfbvKVLWUOeCGGBvp8FCZhOrL8kBkyr0j0yy5MAEjv08b_apBssEyhLNbySUn/s1600/army+wallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuYS7zsThhvaOC7MGUpFFGElnYiHZM8HOQ_5pi4r-Yk8pM0_u-M2HPKyxHOcp4fE3t75ZoSG9jA8iKHcEzfbvKVLWUOeCGGBvp8FCZhOrL8kBkyr0j0yy5MAEjv08b_apBssEyhLNbySUn/s1600/army+wallpaper.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.housingtouri.com/modern-baby-room-plans-wide-with-new-concept/">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table>^ A subtle and abstract camouflage wallpaper used in a nursery!<br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGfne-Z3_mvVpFZrmiyJJbPOQI_zW3BTSxKsVafMIPmoAWI1mcq4O89obmRw-wDnGi8odbhqmLTiz0OuOKYeTdY7XKrc32erzVg6Xcl0k5jC-wCQnT9U4TbQbSncoU-DdAHMsg245aKgA-/s1600/sarahs-boys-bedroom1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGfne-Z3_mvVpFZrmiyJJbPOQI_zW3BTSxKsVafMIPmoAWI1mcq4O89obmRw-wDnGi8odbhqmLTiz0OuOKYeTdY7XKrc32erzVg6Xcl0k5jC-wCQnT9U4TbQbSncoU-DdAHMsg245aKgA-/s1600/sarahs-boys-bedroom1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/sarahshouse/photo/?gid=1339183962940&pid=00UeeI73wq3WO#/13">via Sarah Richardson</a></td></tr></tbody></table>^ Sarah Richardson employs this scheme subtly with wool army blankets, olive green walls, and camo colored fern window treatments. <br /><br /><br /><br />What do you think of this fashion trend?
