Joss & Main

Right now on Joss and Main is a curator's collection by Just A Girl.  The pieces are fantastic, go well together or you can identify a carefully selected chosen piece as these were all individually selected by Chris Carey.  Featured in Better Homes & Gardens and Glamour Spain magazines for her creative spin on design, DIY-enthusiast and decorating guru Carey offers stylish inspiration, tips, and projects on her blog Just a Girl.  And may I add, the prices are great!

Holiday House Tour

Today was our town's Holiday house tour- there were some amazing homes decorated oh-so perfectly for the holiday's- all in their own unique style. But no photos allowed… boo! So I went on to Pinterest to see if there were some pictures that depicted what I saw today:

Holiday Doors:

 Check out the chalkboard!

 Mantles:

Tables:

cute for Hannukah!

Pillows:

I love the trend towards non traditional colors- lots of silver and grey - so sophisticated but the reds/greens are appreciated especially when combined with natural elements- boughs and branches.  Happy Seasonal Decorating!

Thanksgiving Tables

With Thanksgiving just a week away- I perused Pinterest for some table setting ideas and pinned them to my autumn board.  I found an array of tablescapes from traditional to contemporary and love the different color schemes which all felt autumnal in their own way!

Upholstery Sauvage

Its amazing to see how paint, a staple gun and a little styling can turn trash into treasure.  I love the look in this brownstone by prop stylist Hilary Robertson.  Going on an expedition soon to find some new treasures to transform and these photos are giving the inspiration!

Easy updates!

1- Monogram wall art from Ballard- spell a word or use as a monogram. Available in weathered black (vintage feel) or a spa blue (cute for a child's room)only $79 each for the small size or $169 for the large size- super cute!

 2- Mirrored Gallery frames from West Elm-- West Elm frames are the best for either a single frame or an entire collage-- they also make great gifts!
