art imitating life?

I'm sure by now many of you have opened your new Elle Decor to ooh and ahh over Jackie Astier's NYC apartment. I love it, too.

But it reminds me too much of Ashley Stark's apartment from last month and raises the question for me - is Elle showing us what we like or are we starting to like what Elle is showing us? Some of us have been looking for 70's glam pieces for a couple years now as we can afford to buy them, and I hope this look is a classic, not a trend. I own Murano lamps, fur throws, leather poufs, mirrored Mastercraft furniture, lucite glam pieces, suzani textiles and brass fixtures, so I am not hating on them at all! But the all too familiar-looking rooms pictured here are starting to feel stale, and that scares me - because I love them and it is my style!

What do you think? Do you think we will all be off on another "look" next year? Or is this type of home going to still feel fresh and fun into the next decade?
