Decorating with Pumpkins for Fall






Spray paint your mini pumpkins in gold!



Silver spray paint looks great too



White is interesting


Cute Candy Corn Pumpkins


Black spray paint adds a very bold splash and lends to Halloween decor


This is cute- the branches and bats for Halloween.  Love the contrast of the white wall with the black table and then white and orange decorations.


I like the idea of painting the pumpkins and also using urns.


Gorgeous home-

An American in Mexico- article from House Beautiful, October 2012.  A furniture maker from the Catskill mountains built a dream retreat.


I want this sofa with the live cherry wood edge.  


The shower wall is pebbled with red heart stones found on the property.

Find it For Less-

LOVE LOVE LOVE this raindrop mirror and I wanted to buy it so badly.  At the time, I could not justify spending over $500.  They retail at many stores for around that price.  Now, I admit that the les expensive versions are not as delicate, they give the same look for way way less.  This one is from Home Decorators- http://www.homedecorators.com
This one is $549


For Less- I got mine at Home Goods for about $50- here is an image of it on my wall-


It is not as nice as the one for $549 but it is pretty close.

I bought another one at Home Goods that isn't as large and it was $39- here is a photo of it on my wall-


Home Decorators carries the less expensive version for $69


I don't like the cheaper ones as much but you are saving a tremendous amount of money!!!
If you do a Google search for raindrop mirrors, you might be able to find some other ones.  There are a lot out there.

Invent, Create, Design, Take a Risk, Attempt, Try Your Best, Break the Rules....

these are all things I have done with design in my home- if it doesn't work or you do not like it, do it over again.  

Loving these images for inspiration today after I enjoyed my bottle of Auberge du Soleil sparkling wine with dinner last night!
These can all be found on my Pinterest page. http://pinterest.com/swimen/wine-and-cheese-please/




Awesome design under the stairs for wine storage and I love these bar stools!
