All Good Rooms Take Time

All good rooms take time to decorate, it doesn't have to be done all at once! A common question I get is "Can you mix the woods in your home?" Absolutely! A mix of woods is wonderful, and keeps the room from feeling too matchy. In my home I have a varied grain laminate floor (which I LOVE!) mixed in with antiques and newer pieces. It gives the room a warm feel, as though it's been decorated over time.

Don't forget to add personal items to your decor. I love to include pieces from my travels, even simple things such as pine cones, shells and corks can be displayed beautifully in hurricane vases and help to tell a story. Don't forget pictures, they help to tell that story too!

Happy Decorating!

Add a little spice!

I was driving the other day and was noticing, along with my 9 year old daughter, how beautiful the trees are right now! The colors are truly inspiring-the golds, reds, oranges, and various shades of green.

Let these colors inspire you for your fall decorating! All of these colors, with the exception of green, are very warm and comforting. Green is cool and calming...

A little pop of color by adding some new throw pillows, a throw or some new place mats or a tablecloth can go a long way in adding a little spice to your home!
