Fun Fall Ideas

If you are in the mood to do something creative for fall...why not try this!


A Decoupage Pumpkin - Genius! 
This idea was in Country Living and you can go here for instructions on just how to go about this.  You can buy a faux pumpkin and even your kids can help.  

Here's another fun idea...
Once again, these were created using faux pumpkins.  Hey, I guess PINK pumpkins could work too, right?  You can go on over to here and find out more.

Look at this cute little idea...from Funky Junk Interiors.  
Painted pumpkin with the stem wrapped in twine...and topped upon a candlestick.  What a neat idea! The attached key is another unique little addition.  See how far your creativity can get you!

You can even customize your pumpkins with words.

OK, now...if your are really daring you can try something like this...
Can you?  Would you dare?  

What are some fun fall decorating ideas going on at YOUR house this year?  We'd love to know!

Thanks for stopping by...
Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

A Little more ColorLESS?

Don't quite know what's up with the changes in my design style lately, but I am so very drawn to creme as a neutral backdrop these days.  I usually go for the bold and colorful, but now find myself eyeballing a change.  Here's a room I'm envisioning for my own greatroom...and I simply love how any color can then be accented (and easily changed when I grow tired of that color!).  Hum...do I see re-design in my near future?  Could be!



Or what about this lovely neutral bedroom...
 
where to pops of color are found only in the accessories!

And yet another beautiful foyer area...

Or a kitchen with just the pops of color...

What do YOU think?  Neutral...or lots of color?  Just wondering!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!
Ta-Ta!

A Positive Thought...



I saw this on a friend's FB this morning...and thought I'd share with all of you.  Let's change today and make it special.

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Simple Fall Decorating Tips





Wow!  October is already upon us.  I simply cannot believe it and wonder where in the world summer went.  Any of you out there feel the same way?

I have been MIA (again!)...can you tell we have been busy? Busy is even a 'understatement' around here!  I wanted to pop in today after a quick online visit to J&M this morning (while enjoying another hot cup of delicious coffee).  I know it's just a simple thing, but if you'd like a quick, easy and affordable way to spruce things up at home for Fall...just have a "Pillow Crush"!  Just shop around and find a few new pillows that you love...and change them out around your home. J&M is even a great place to get started...and you never even have to leave your coffee house! 

Pillow Perfect

See the basket on the far right side?  Why not buy a few extra to brighten up and fill a basket...yet another simple thing to add Fall color around.

Here are a few I have my eye on...

Maison Pillow in Atomic

Monroe Pillow in Atomic

Nora Pillow in Tangerine


Corinth Pillow

Nora Pillow in Yacht


Agadir Pillow


Ambrose Pillow 

Farrah Pillow in Tango


Copa Cabana Pillow


Toucan Pillow


Stara Pillow in Atomic

What about YOU?  Will any of these work in your rooms?  Head on over there to the J&M sale while you finish enjoying your hot cup of coffee or tea this morning!

And....one more simple tip...add in some new accessories in Fall colors...take a peek at this design plan we came up with for some inspiration.

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!
