Art Nouveau (French for 'new art'), also known as Jugendstil (German for 'youth style'), is an international movement and style of art, architecture and applied art—especially the decorative arts—that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century (1890–1905).

Rather than focusing on the usual interior design furnishings stores, consider import stores, auctions, antique stores, flea markets, and architectural salvage shops. Eclectic interior design undoubtedly requires creativity and vision. But if you are up for a challenge, no other design style can so perfectly capture your one-of-a-kind taste.

This is where I will keep you all updated on the Credit Crunch Competition, where you were asked to design one room on three separate budgets; Splurge, Spend and Save.

All you have to do to be promoted around mydeco and be featured on the Buy The Look homepage for a week is design three very similar looking stylish rooms, on three differnt budgets, Save, Spend or Splurge. These should be the titles of your rooms too so we can find them! Each week we hope to have an amazing new winner who will get the design fame they desire by being featured on our home page, which should raise their profile and give them the appreciation they deserve. Good luck everyone, and get credit-crunch savvy spending!

Design Diary - Your Calendar of Events 121 members

This is the place to be, and the place where we tell each other where to be! Got some info on a local interior design event you want to share with the mydeco community? Or want to tell everyone to get to a big furniture fair? Maybe you want to meet other mydeco users? You could arrange a date to chat online or meet at a related event outside of the website too. Just start a blog or discussion in this group with the event information and I will add it to the Design Diary in the Magazine section of mydeco. Then we all know about all the hot design events! This is also a good place to direct your events reviews and reports, so we never have to miss out. Can't wait to hear your stories! Clare -_-*
