Vintage Map Pillows

I love vintage maps. Their history, charm, and antique feel are great additions to modern living. They warm up rooms and provide that comfortable (worn in) feeling. That said, I love these pillows. Cute, functional and great as an accent piece with other neutral pieces.

Pumpkins

I love decorating as most of you do know. With the weather changing and harvest season upon us, what better way to welcome autumn than with rich hues of yellow, red and orange. A simple and cost effective way to get into the spirit is to creatively decorate with pumpkins and gourds. Whether you just mix and match a few out on your front steps or decide to go all out creatively, you’ll definitely have some festive decor to carry you from Halloween through Thanksgiving. Here are some of my favorite pumpkin design ideas to date.

Toadstool Pumpkins

Darling Ribbon Wrapped Mini Pumpkins

Peek-a-boo Pumpkins

Gilded Pumpkins

Cutie Scarecrow Pumpkin

These are all too cute. Can’t wait to get my hands dirty and start on some of these. First up, gilded pumpkins!

Since Domino is done, dead, and gone forever, Lonny Magazine has taken over as my favorite interior decorating/design resource. Better yet, it’s free, online, and probably won’t be going anywhere for a very long time. Home decor. Eat your heart out.

A great conversation starter when your guests come over and hang up their jackets.

I saw this and my heart melted. It literally translates to “I climb, You climb, He climbs, We climb.” How French. I love it. Great idea that I’m going to steal. Not sure what text I’d choose but it would definitely be in French. Je l’aime.

If you’re a fan of Legos, I think you need these candles. Yes, they are stackable! My mind is already spinning with ideas.
