Fall Inspired Decor

Since it is officially the Fall season I wanted to share some fall inspired pictures. The fall season reminds me of rustic woods, deep chocolate browns, burnt orange, rich burgundy, yellow umbers and olive greens. All  of these images make me think of comfort, warmth and curling up on a cool fall night in front of a cracklin' fire with a cashmere throw and a mug of chai tea.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Outdoor Inspiration

With the great weather we've been having lately in Toronto I have been thinking about furniture for the new deck we built last summer. Come this spring and summer I will be decorating my outdoor living space. I actually need a patio set and lounge set as well as some accessories, an outdoor rug and yes even plate, glasses and cutlery sets (that will come later). So I went online to Pottery Barn and found some inspiration photos. I probably won't be actually purchasing any furniture from PB (a little pricey pour moi) but I have seen similar pieces at Walmart and Home Depot. For now I am just brain storming, trying to figure out colour scheme and all.

I love the burnt oranges and bright yellows

This is by far my fav, chic black and white with moroccan inspired lanterns

I really like the bright blue, very Mediterranean with the lemons

Calm and serene, pale blue and green palette

My outdoor living space checklist:

1.patio set

2.lounge set

3.pillows

4.area rug

5.moroccan lanterns

6. timer lights for the deck

7.Industrial outdoor lights for the deck

I have some more inspiration pictures coming soon...

Pottery Barn

I recently received a lovely belated Birthday gift in the form of a Winners gift card from one of my near and dear friends. She explained that she wanted to get me something super fantastic for my home, something like a lovely book full of inspirational pictures for home decor and decorating, but she couldn't find exactly what she was looking for, so she opted for a gift card instead...to which I happily accepted!

Soon enough I was off to Winners in search for home decor, when I came across just what I wanted...a new coffee table book, "Pottery Barn Home." Let me tell you, is it every fantastic, so many inspiring pictures! So in the end my friend got me what she had initially planned to get, and I got what I never knew I wanted, but can't live without.
