Fall Color

What inspires you this time of year?  Where do you get your fall inspiration for COLORS?  Seeing that we probably all dislike (well, maybe not 'all') saying goodbye to summer and all of it's bright and cheerful colors...did you know you CAN punch up color even in the days of fall...you can!

This beautiful durable outdoor rug is from one of the lines we carry.  It just really captured my attention this morning with it's bold 'pop' of color...which just happen to be colors for this season too!  Isn't it lovely? A porch, lanai, or even a sunroom could be easily transformed for fall around this scrumptious rug! Change your cushions and/or throw pillows to accent a few of these lovely colors and...VOILA...a new look...for a new season! 

(Not too sure monitor resolutions will make these pillow choices a perfect color match, but you get the idea, right?)

Oh, and don't forget your fall pumpkins!  

What about you...will you be spending the cooler days still enjoying the outside?  I know I surely will. Do you transform your outdoor space...just for fall?  We'd love to know!

Thanks for stopping by...

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

My Saturday Happy Place Room of the Week

It's weekend again...can you even believe it? The days seem to pass by so quickly!  I just wanted to pop in and share a room that I voted as my 'happy place' for this Saturday morning.

I love the soft tranquil colors of the sea used in here along with the pillows and artwork displaying beautiful seashells.  The woven wood shades and cute little side table bring in a touch of texture in this space...which I love.  So, I voted this little area my 'happy place' for today.... so, Happy Saturday!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Wallpaper Mania

You do know that wallpaper is making a comeback in the world of design, right?  It is and I am happy about that!  After years of having wallpaper myself...when it came time for 'change' and I only wanted painted walls...I felt the entire 'feel' of my home changed! Not that it wasn't a good change, but it just felt so bare to me.  I guess because wallpaper makes a statement, you get use to it, and then all of a sudden it is GONE! Does anyone know what I mean? Of course that's when you add in other things such as more art, mirrors, etc...all the other beautiful things that add that warmth and feeling back into your home.

BUT...I had not really realized just how popular the REMOVABLE wallpaper is also becoming!  I know exactly why too...you aren't 'locked in' to it for years and you certainly don't have the mess and the expense of removing it later. If wallpaper doesn't come off your walls easily (even with a professional) it can make a huge mess and end up costing more than you'd planned.

I headed over to J & M and simply could not believe my eyes! The choices that even they had for removable wallpaper...oh my! 

Here is just a sweet picture of what the right kind of wallpaper can do to transform a room!  And...it's BIRDS and PINK...woo-hoo...two of my faves!

What about some 2" gold dots

Take a look at some others I found simply irresistible...

Wouldn't this be so pretty in a little girl's bedroom...maybe even on just ONE wall.  

I love this chandelier decal here!  Oh, yes please!

This one if you wanted to keep things toned down a bit, but still have some interest and texture.  It would even be nice to use in the back of a bookcase...to add in more charm.

I'm sure this pattern is popular too!

Hum...a great guest bathroom idea perhaps!

I was just thinking also, what a GREAT way to add some pizzazz to a home especially if you RENT.  Sometimes you may feel so limited to what you can do in a home you rent, but this would definitely solve that issue...since it's removable!

How about some gold dots that are a little larger...I think these are 3 inches.  What a lovely foyer idea...ya think?  

And look, you can also wallpaper other items...such as tables!  What a great, easy and affordable way to dress up some furniture you may have.  I love this one here!

Oh my....how cute and creative is this one here?  Where in the world might I use this one?  Not sure I have a place, but perhaps YOU do.

   

What great headboard ideas!

Who could forget the classic b/w wide stripes!  Love this one too!

More fun birds...where to put?  Maybe in a breakfast nook perhaps?

And I simply love these birds...looks like they are really hopping around in the room on the headboard and lamp, doesn't it? 

Decisions, decisions, decisions....and as if that isn't enough, you need to head on over to Joss & Main for even more removable wallpaper themes and colors!  Yes...MORE!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Decorating Wall Niches

Hi, lovely readers!  Are you getting in gear for the upcoming long weekend to celebrate the 4th of July?  I bet most of you are!  

I guess you could say I have 'designer's block'...when it comes to wall niches.  The simple fact is...I do not like them...at all. So with that being said, my question to you is...how do YOU decorate wall niches if you have them in your home?

Here are a few photos I found...

An iron ornamental?

Framed pictures?

A niche with a ledge could house a floral, right? I do like the contrast paint in the niche...I think.

Yes, I do like the contrast...yet, I still can't bring myself to like niches at all...what's up with me?

Even here, in a nicely framed wall niche...to me...it's way 'too busy' and 'clutters' the wall.  And, what else would you even consider putting here? 

Candles?  Ugh!  Perhaps some sort of mural here might work?

Here is a home I was in that had a huge mirror inserted into a foyer niche.  At first glance I thought "it's ok"...but, honestly that mirror would be much prettier on a solid wall...it sort of looks crammed into the niche!  What do YOU think?  Give me YOUR opinions please!

In ALL of computer-land I have yet to find one single idea for a wall niche that I even remotely like!  So, let me ask...is it just ME?  Or do any of YOU out there have issues with these special niches?  Any great ideas?  If so, do tell.

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Room of the Week

Hello, lovely readers!  It's been quite awhile.  There have been many recent changes in our lives, all of which are good, but it has really taken me away from blog-land!  I hope to be back a little more often during these upcoming summer months. 

Now that it's practically summer...let's heat it up a bit with some RED!  Shall we?  Since the kitchen is usually known as the 'heart' of our home I thought we'd get things going again with this lovely red kitchen...voted as our 'Room of the Week'.  Isn't it beautiful?  Be sure to check out all the details (an easy habit of mine when it comes to design!) such as the ceiling, the lampshades, the art, the red trim around the roman shade treatment on the window....shall I go on, just in case you miss any?  OK then...the plant on the island, the stripe fabric on the bar stools (yep, even a red stripe here).  Isn't it lusciously decorated?  It's definitely a place I could stay in for awhile...whether cooking or just gathering to fellowship!

How about YOU?  Could you handle a little sizzling RED in your kitchen?  I'm pretty sure I could!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Sharing a fun and colorful room with you today.  I love the mix of chair styles along with a banquette.  How about the colors in here...I'm a lovin' it for sure!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Ta-Ta!
