DECK THE WALLS

    The holidays may be just around the corner, but we've still got a whole month to celebrate fall, and I've been gathering some ideas on decor for a harvest dinner featuring my dad's famous butternut squash ravioli that I've been craving lately.

    Then, inspiration hit me when going through some photos from a trip to east coast a few months ago...

    Fall leaves are one of my most favorite things in the world, and this stunning wall in the Twelve Chairs showroom in Boston may be the best homage I've seen on the subject. The leaves are actually pinned (!!!) on to create a stunning pattern.

    I feel like there's all sorts of ways to get crafty with this idea (maybe even some that are kid friendly?) I could see myself doing this in a smaller scale on my bulletin board, and tacking them up around a menu?

    Of course, I'm also loving this inspiration for walls as well...

    In the beautiful Seedhouse showroom in Manhattan, owner Ellen Carey created this wall all herself. Feathers, feathers, and more feathers in a gorgeous shade of yellow! A more permanent installation that could take some serious time, but again, done smaller scale could be fun for a fall party, no?

    What would you do with these ideas? My brain is spinning and my dinner party is this weekend!

GOOD GOURD.

    When you live in an apartment without a porch or patio, there's really no good place to place your Halloween pumpkins. I've basically got two options - put one out in the hallway (where I don't get to enjoy it) or keep it in the house where lighting it seems a little silly. So I'm thinking option number three might be called for this year...

    Take a little inspiration from your own home and paint that pumpkin right on up to match!

    It's fresh, festive and fairly easy. Not to mention a little less messy. I think I may do a last minute attempt for tonight! Also - that bedroom? Definitely going on the inspiration board for my own place. Loving the layers of white!

A GOLDEN GIRL BIRTHDAY

    I'm making my way home from High Point Market today, which means I'm spending my birthday in airports. And when that happens you've got to make a little celebrating go a long way...

    Like topping off a cupcake with some thing a little more fancy (or fancy-looking at least!). This adorable squirrel is really a plastic toy animal turned into fabulous candle holder. Makes birthday wishing a little more fun, don't you think?
