It's Fall Y'all!

   It is officially Fall now, the leaves are changing, pumpkins are growing, the crisp fresh fall air is all around us. So when you walk inside your house, make it feel the same way! 

   Changing your inside environment to match the outside environment is the best way to keep a fresh new excitement to your house. Take the beach towels and put them away and bring out some warm colored pillows and throws. Light a warm vanilla sugar candle to set the fall mood (or whatever fall smell you prefer, it's your nose that has to smell it, not mine.) and make some warm yummy soup with some loved ones!

   During the day, the windows can be your best artwork, open the blinds and crack the window a few inches to smell the fall air and see the changing leave. Incorporate as many warm colors into your house as possible. Fall  = Warm colors, the opposite of the temperature outside (rule of thumb for all seasons). 

Enjoy this beautiful season and bring it indoors, its super easy and gets you in the spirit of fall, y'all!

Fabric Rooms

Remember the old movies from the 1940's and 50's where the old movie stars would play the queen of Egypt or a princess of Persia? They always sat in rooms of fabric and circular chairs all covered in fabric. Although it was beautiful in the movies, never would you want to actually have that in your house. But with a twist of color and a downsize of room, plus some funky fabric, it could be really spectacular! This picture shows a room of fabric ceiling to floor, and a cushioned bed to match. This idea separated the space and gave a whole to elegance to the house, yet with the bright colors, it was a welcoming area.
