Halloween inspired interiors -great ideas and inspiration

Because I haven't lived anywhere with any real storage yet, I don't really have much in the way of decor. I still like to look at holiday homes though..and I think the ones below are all completely doable decorations!

I don't know how safe it is to put candles on the floor.  Either go the flameless route, or make sure there are no kids/pets that could knock them over.

This table scape is seasonal but still sophisticated...

Absolutely fabulous living rooms from our dearly departed Domino

Luckily, more and more great online mags have been popping up. However, I still miss Domino mag ...

such pretty colors...



This white and tan living room is one of my all time favs...


I think this adorable space is Rashida Jones's apartment...

Love this REAL vintage living room, which one a contest.  It's the apartment of the super talented Lara of Piewacket


light and pretty and feminine

Gorgeous little outdoor escapes...

Before we know it snow will be falling and ice will cover the roads ...atleast here in the north east. So enjoy these beautiful days of autumn outdoors while you still can... happy weekend!

I hope there's a beach behind that cottage....





so gorgeous...

Pale and Interesting - a home with calm and simplicity

There's nothing like moving to a smaller dwelling (which I recently did), to encourage one to purge excess stuff from the home. These photos give a taste of how serene it is to ditch the stuff and go minimalist, but with a rustic twist.



I love worn leather club chairs



that dresser is gorgeous - it definitely doesn't need accessorizing. Same with the chair.


*love that chair - a piece of art in itself


What do you think?  Do you purge your home on a regular basis? Every now and then? Never?

House tour: A lovely Swedish home in black and white...

This home is so pretty - I definitely have some home envy going on. I could never be so disciplined though, as to only buy things in black and white. I'm bad about that - If I like it, it could serve a purpose, and I can afford it, I buy it. I worry about it fitting in (and sometimes not) later.







I'm digging the birch(?) branch!


How about you?  Are you good at sticking to a color palette in your home or do you stray?

A bright and airy home filled with reclaimed beauties

This home is gorgeous on it's own - but discovering that it's filled with reclaimed furnishings and architectural elements makes it even prettier.

Love the table with the mid-century chairs. 


Such a pretty workspace!


I'd love to have a sliding door like this one day

can't go wrong with a crisp, clean white bathroom
