Gobbling Up Goods!

In the midsts of the black friday hoopla and scrambling to get your home perfect for thanksgiving…let's try not to forget all the beauty around us!  Thanksgiving in Connecticut (where i'm from) is one of the prettiest times of the years.  I love all the colors and Fall is the perfect inspiration for some pretty color combinations that you can try out in your home!

Fun Finds

I found some pretty purple door knobs that I want to use as coat/purse hangers and a fun shag rug to add an interesting element to my room!

 I like that the purples are different shades and the diamond cut helps reflect the light beautifully!

I found this rug and loved it! but it only came in a 2x3 so I bought 2 and sewed them together.  I just bought 2 more to attach so I can make an area rug!

The rug ties in the lavendar, creams and greys from my bed nicely!

 My kitten even gave her stamp of approval!

Reclaim The Past!

Being eco-friendly doesn't have to mean your home is aesthetically unappealing!  There are so many ways to incorporate "green design" into your home!  One way is to reuse things such as wood.  Reclaimed wood is one of my favorite elements to add to a room.  It really warms up the space and the look can be a little more rugged or more polished depending on your taste!

I love the juxtaposition of the earthy wood elements with the stark white contrast! Simple but it makes a big statement!

One of my favorite sources for reclaimed wood is Elmwood.  They have beautiful selections and are amazingly helpful!

Emerald City

Jewel tones are some of my favorite colors and Emerald has been everywhere.  It's a summer trend that is making a nice transition into the fall!

Emerald looks great with other Jewel Tones that are equally as saturated, such as fuchsia, navy, mustard, and violet.

Neutrals such as silver, black, or beiges let Emerald take center stage and enhance the color!
