Time for Seasonal Changes

Don't you just love these cool mornings!  I certainly do! I now can enjoy my early cup of morning coffee out on the front porch. Yippee! Seasons change...and when that happens it's also time to make some decor changes, wouldn't you agree?  And...the front porch is a great place to start.

I know this isn't a front door...but it's a wreath I found that I really like since it has some red tones in it and less orange.  For me, I tend to lean more towards the reds and golds for Fall, but I do like other colors too.  This wreath, or a similar one, would be a great way to welcome your guests at the front door...don't you think?

Then I have found these wonderful Fall colored outdoor pillows (here) for the front porch chairs.  Aren't they lovely with this wreath?

And here's a look at these Harvest Bouquet pillows on a deck...with a lovely gold throw.  I'd say these looks would definitely welcome in Fall...and your guests...how about you?

And it's always nice to add in a couple topiaries in decorative planters...if you have the space for them on the porch by the door.  

Do you have any Fall ideas for YOUR outdoor entrances?  Be sure to update these areas and incorporate your favorite Fall colors.  Oh, and keep in mind, it's also a great time to brighten up your doors with a fresh coat of paint if needed!  Fall is definitely "in the air"!

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

From Scrapbook to Room Design

Happy Monday!  Today we'll look at a few more designs in scrapbooking and then the coordinated room designs for each one...what a way to start our week!


For those that haven't been aboard with us for long, I love to scrapbook, but rarely seem to find the time to do it much any more. I am hoping that will change during the winter months!!!  I have always said that scrapbooking is much like interior design.  The planning (room design), coordinating papers (like fabrics), embellishments for the page (artwork and accessories), etc....get the picture?  Take a look at some fun examples.

Now, don't YOU think they are similar?  Do YOU scrapbook?  Just curious if any of our readers do indeed have that creative flair for this.  I also want to thank my dear friend and neighbor, Tammy, over at NC Scrap Addict for allowing me to use several of her beautiful scrapbook designs!  Also, click over to Lea's Cupcakes and Sunshine for some more fascinating scrapbook creations.  Enjoy!

Happy Weekend!

Well, it's Friday again.  It's been a busy week here and I've been sort of slack with my blogging...when life gets crazy AND you are in the midst of many projects going on...well, let's just say this...I NEED a weekend!

Enjoy YOUR weekend...and...

make it "Simply Irresistible"!
