Fall Decorating Inspiration

One of my absolute favourite times of the year to decorate is fall. I love the cozy fabrics, rich hues and most of all halloween decor. I am especially loving that this year white pumpkins are becoming more available - definitely a nice change from the traditional orange. Below are a few fun ways to decorate for fall.


How do you like to decorate for fall?

Artwork Dilemma

When I moved into my house I had no problem finding furniture and other decorative pieces that worked well together. But the one thing I have had a really hard time finding is artwork. I have looked at a ton of different places but everything I have found just missed the mark - too traditional or too modern. Since buying my home I have really got into reading interior design blogs which have given me lots of inspiration. I have discovered that I really like typgraphic and digital art pieces, which give a minimalist modern feel to a space but also add a personal touch. Below are a few spaces and pieces I have fallen in love with..
 
 
What style of art do you have hanging on your walls?

Now that I have my own house I have had the urge to get more decorative items for my kitchen. These are a few of my must-haves and also a few items I am still hoping to purchase!

And that's all my iphone has to say about that...


The past few weeks have been pretty crazy, getting settled into my new home, painting, unpacking and picking up the last few items from my home wish list. Although I still feel like there's a lot to do it's finally starting to feel like home. This past weekend I finally had my house warming party which was a lot of work but totally worth it. We also enjoyed the fall weather and went to Chudleigh's Apple Farm and went on a hay ride, fed the farm animals and got a white pumpkin!

Apparently I have really been feeling moustache's this month!

Fall Trends: Faux Fur

If there is one thing that adds an element of interest to a room or makes a boring outfit more fabulous it’s faux fur. I absolutely love adding a dash of faux fur into a room as a way to add interest and texture without adding too much pattern. I purchased a fur vest from Michael Kors last year and I can't wait to take it out of my closet.

Home Sweet Home

After a lot of unpacking, breaking down boxes and washing dishes my new place is finally starting to come together. Below are a few pictures of my new place - although not complete you can get a pretty good idea of the style I am going for. I still need to get some pictures to hang on the walls and some furniture for the entrance foyer, which is looking unbelievably bare right now but I'm sure over the next couple of weeks I will be able to fill in those gaps.
