My Favorite Color is Fall

📷simonberger/unsplash 🍁🍂In the Pacific Northwest, this fall, all of the trees are at their peak colors! Everywhere you look, bright red, burnt orange, show stopping yellow! Because Fall is all around us, we like to bring those fall tones into our homes! I love it! Baskets and rug textures keep our decor down to earth and are a great accent to shades of oranges and golds. Gray is a great compliment to orange!🍊 Get this fall look!👇 Shop Mali Table Runners & Pillow Covers

NEW Design Trend: Coastal Grandmother

Coastal Grandmother Style, the new interior design trend is inspired by many of my favorite movies, such as, "Something's Gotta Give". The cast is wonderful, but the backdrop of Nancy Meyers' interior design style, just makes it all the more wonderful! As I watch Diane Keaton roam about her wonderful Hamptons Beach house in the movie, I am consumed with the interiors and how it is all so perfect. Homey, classic, modern, beachy, casual all at the same time. I became familia

Small Spaces, BIG Design

photo- ItsMyFavoriteDay Small spaces, BIG design! This month we are learning design tips for small spaces! Smaller spaces don't have to be deprived of beautiful style! A lot of us have downsized, or are now using our rooms differently. For example, more of us prefer to have a home office. You don't need to build a home addition, we can be creative, and use existing small spaces to supplement our needs. For example the "Cloffice". A closet transformed into an office space
