My favorite season to decorate is Fall. I know it sounds a bit cliché, but as I write this, I’m taking in the most beautiful scenery in front of my kitchen nook.

On a daily basis, I get to witness the changing colors outside my window. It is a gorgeous, colorful escape and it’s no wonder that this process inspires so much creativity as nature becomes our muse.

I prefer to feature the season with pumpkins in different shapes, colors, and sizes to create visual interest. This season I added less expected colors from the customary varying shades of orange and played up different pops of colors throughout the room.

This color palette consists of blue, orange, and white to draw the eye primarily on the main featured work of art in the living room, the Venice canvas painting. I made sure to keep the mantle decor neutral to avoid distraction from this focal point. As you can see, the shades of blue in these pumpkins blend into the adjacent, small piece of artwork on the mantle. The beige pumpkin adds warmth, an organic element in the display, and grounds the neutral overall tone of this look.

After some careful and detailed planning, one can create a decorative space resembling the outdoor foliage hues that are indicative of the beautiful Autum season. Sitting in my living room, I feel like I’ve successfully created the outdoor/indoor feeling of Fall within the confines of my home. I can almost sense the crisp air and long for a cup of hot apple cider or pumpkin spiced latte. More importantly, I’ve accomplished to display a look that depicts my sense of self and style. Don’t be afraid to show the world exactly who you are. I can honestly say that my creative, warm, and playful personality have truly come through in this space making me long for the joys this season provides while I spend time with those I love.  I hope this inspires some original ideas for your home. Please feel free to comment or write me with any decor questions you may have. Cheers!

 

Relatable Whimsy

Functional, Cute, and Decorative Pieces

If there’s anything I can’t get enough of when it comes to home accessories, it’s the need to incorporate whimsical decorative or serving pieces. These decorative and functional items add a lot of personality to your home and invoke a feeling of playfulness and joy. The lizard dip bowls can be used, not only for dipping snacks into, but as tea light holders for a decorative lighting ambiance. I should add that the frog I’ve featured is, also, a measuring tape that can be retrieved and retracted by its little tongue. Whether these items express your individuality or sum up your experiences, the sentiment they create is undeniably unique and lasting. They can spark up a conversation that can take you back to your childhood, travels, or other memorable moments.

These lizards are adorable and remind me of my earlier years when I was a child living in Puerto Rico. Lizards are everywhere on the island and one never tires of seeing them. They are the cutest creatures and it’s not rare to find one just hanging around stuck to the wall staring back at you. So collect as many whimsical pieces as you can and spread them throughout the house because, I promise that when least expected, they will make your day.
