We don’t know if it’s true that blondes have more fun. (Although, as a lifelong blonde, I could made a strong case for it!) But we’re pretty sure, if these gorgeous homes are any indication, that blonde wood make a house more fun. We’ve never seen anything quite like these blonde wood pendants! They are incredible and blend so well with the bar stools. Can we talk about these vases too? All we know is that we want them!
Hardwods are obviously a perfect choice for kitchen style. We love them in a variety of shades, but we think a lighter flooring choice feels casual and fun. What do you think?
From bright bold, shades….
To more subdued tones or neutrals, every color pairs well with blonde wood!
Shiny and fresh or raw and rustic, we love blonde wood any old way! Are you a fan?
Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day! We love our readers!

With “her signature warmth and Southern charm” (E! Online), the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds and the Peachtree Bluff series presents a tender and touching novel about a young woman who discovers the family she has always longed for when she spends a life-changing summer in North Carolina.
Present Day: Keaton Smith is desperate for a fresh start. So when her mother needs someone to put her childhood home in Beaufort, North Carolina, on the market—the home that Keaton didn’t know existed until now—she jumps at the chance to head south. But the moment she steps foot inside the abandoned house, she’s confronted with secrets about grandparents who died in a car accident before she was born. And as she gets to know her charming next-door neighbor, his precocious ten-year-old son, and a flock of endearingly feisty town busybodies, she soon finds she has more questions than answers.
1976: After meeting her adoring husband Townsend, Rebecca “Becks” Saint James abandoned the life she knew and never looked back. Forty years later, she’s made a name for herself as the best hostess North Carolina has ever seen. Her annual summer suppers have become the stuff of legend, and locals and out-of-towners alike clamor for an invitation to her stunning historic home. But she’s struggling behind the façade. Becks strives to make the lives of those around her as easy as possible, but this summer she is facing a dilemma that even she can’t solve. And as the end of the season looms, she is brought to a decision she never wanted to make.
As both Keaton and Becks face new challenges and chapters, they are connected through time by the house on Sunset Lane, which has protected the secrets, hopes, and dreams of the women in their family for generations. For fans of Summer of ‘69 and The Notebook, A Happier Life explores the power of family, the bonds of friendship, and the boundless nature of love.
This is cute.
I recently received by grandmother’s Singer sewing machine housed in a table that my Papa customized in “blonde” (like Nona), complete with three drawers, wooden organizer drawer drop-ins, blonde slats and even hand turned spool holders. The cutest is the and brass pulls on each drawer (that are next level).
Blondes have more fun while brunettes get things done so bring on the fun, and let’s stick together while we forge on through (this silly poem’s end).. whatever!
Good Morning Girls,
So refreshing! Blond in design is Back. I grew up with Blond Mahogany furniture! Slowly I have revolved back from dark woods in flooring to blond tones. I now have very light floors in blond with gray tones..(matches my hair!) They meld in with all my gold textures perfectly and of course we have have pops of black!
I also love those kitchen pendants!

While the blond woods are gorgeous, it was the video of you, Kristy, that really captured my attention this morning. { was tempted to make a play on blond and your name – but restrained myself}
The book sounds exciting, and I can’t wait to read it! Back to the other blondes, those pendants are sublime. Blond woods really work in any setting, don’t they?
‘ve always loved blonde woods, especially blonde floors. I’ve just bought a home, circa 1918 with all original maple floors – blonde! I’ll be giving them a sanding, no stain and satin finish. So excited!
I LOVE the blonde wood as an accent in a room, but when it is on the floors, walls and ceiling? Oh my! Way too much of a good thing! Just keep thinking of the time and expense of removing when the trend is over.
