Fall Inspiration

Fall is coming and I love it! By the end of summer I don't know about you, but I'm done with BBQ's and bathing suits, and am ready for some warm, cozy wool sweaters and some home-made mac-n-cheese, straight from the oven...bubbling with cheesy goodness.

Along with weight gain, comes all things exciting that is fall: the smells, the colors, the fashion, ....I could go on forever! This year along with the usual apple pie inspired color palette, grey is the new black. Followed by the ever popular plum.

When changing your seasonal decor why not try something unexpected? Bring some purples, olives or even black into your festive theme. Keep the ultimate inspiration in mind: Mother Nature. You don't need to go out and buy new items. Go for a walk and collect twigs, pine cones, ferns, leafs and anything that can be transformed into a beautiful center piece or accessory in your home. Why not spray paint your new found items in one of this seasons colors? Or use root vegetables and fruit that can be both beautiful and delicious.
There are thousands of ideas available for center pieces and home decor that can be made with the whole family online. Have a quick search! (I like www.marthastewart.com/)

If you're feeling adventurous, why not paint a focal wall in a fall color? It's easy to do and really adds a wow factor to your space. If you like the look but you're not sure where to start look for any interesting architectural elements in your room that you might like to highlight. This will also create some dimension and add some depth to the space.
