Decor seasonally styled...

I have a hard time when the season of summer ends
and it becomes fall as you probably have already figured
out by my previous post.
To help with the transition I decorate or what I like to call
a little re-merchandising of my house. It's a mind trick I play
on myself and you know what, it works.

Here are some of the little things I do to spice up the season.


a little burlap on the table...




leaves are natures way of dressing the season...
 



accessorize the mantel with touches of fall...
 


different nuts sprinkled around candles add textures and brown tones...
 



placing orange and white pumpkins balance the orange...
 



sunflowers are my favorite transition flowers...
 



a few pillows or blankets in oranges and browns make a room
that much cozier...



The sun is still out which makes this all that much easier and of course little changes
in my scenery goes with out being said.
Have a little fun with your own seasonal changes.

What's your color?

Everybody has a color or two they gravitate to,
and when we decorate our little nests we sometimes
pop them in to our rooms but more often then not we
shy away from adding color
because we aren't sure how or if it will look good even if
it is our absolute favorite color and can't imagine life
without it.

Here's what I say, throw it in! Start with some pillows
or a throw rug; pull in some small pieces that might have
some of that favorite color in it and then when you are
feeling confident and realize you can make this work
buy a piece of furniture in your favorite color; paint a wall
or two in it or find a rug popping with color.

I know, you are thinking that's easier said then done, but
really people it's not that hard, it's your favorite color just
remember baby steps if needed then go for the gusto.
You'll love it and everyday when you walk through your
little nest you will smile because it's your favorite color.

So, what's your favorite color?


tango orange...



 blues...



yellow...


pink...




lavender...



green...

Tell me, inquiring minds want to know what is your favorite color in your nest?
