5 transitional fall home accents

Transitional fall accents for the home. Pumpkins, green and wood
Green is my favorite color, and combined with wood and some soft color pumpkins, I'l have a simple Fall look around this dining table. Small changes for a big impact!
Just today I noticed how late I've been approaching Halloween decorations around our home. Perhaps it is the fact that we just moved and still assimilating the change. Having a new space that you can finally call "mine" (like children do) is a big thing for us.

Transitional fall accents for the home. Harvest bouquet.
On our front door we place a Harvest inspired basket to welcome Fall. Perhaps later on this week we might add some plastic spiders or even stretchable spiderweb for a spooky look.  
I love coming home and seeing how our bare walls reflect the beautiful sunlight coming from our front window in the morning, and our kitchen area later on.
We are planning on having larger windows in a near future to take advantage of the natural light that works around our home. But in the mean time, I've been busy incorporating Fall accents here and there. I love the colors that this season brings and the more because they go so perfectly with our neutral decoration.
Because of this, today I'm sharing some of the accents around our home that bring Autumn in and that can work from the beginning to the end of this season (including Halloween).

Transitional fall accents for the home. Cotton and natural colors.
Over our mantel, I've decided that cotton was the perfect accent to balance the rough surface of the stone. It is reminiscent of this season and creates a great balance and contrast against the wall.
Transitional fall accents for the home. Pumpkin, spiders.
These pumpkins have gone from our front door (without the spiders) to our dinning table as a Halloween centerpiece. With a couple of transfers, available at Jo-Ann, they are ready to trick or treat.  
Transitional fall accents for the home. Greenery, pumpkins.
Adding greenery to a this pumpkin vignette, made a welcoming statement in this receiving area. Add faux-spiderwebs for a Halloween look, or  some dry wheat bunch for a Thanksgiving table setting.

New outdoor furniture trends

Cost Plus World Market summer

Recently I attended a Cost Plus World Market webminar in which they announced their new trends for outdoor decoration. For me, a seminar through the internet was a new experience, and needless to say, an exciting one. From this I could notice that their selection of products was well thought-out and picked. The color palette World Market have selected ranges from the blues to the reds and greens. Here is their collection which they divided by names of exotic and beautiful places: Bali, Rio and Timber Cove. (Keep reading to see how to win a gift card from Cost Plus World Market.)




The Bali collection if filled with lots of bright and exotic colors. Each and every item here evokes the lifestyle of that far and tranquil island.





Blues, fuchsias and greens all convey in this selection. Reminiscent of Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival, this collection will transport you to this lively and vibrant city.





The Timber Cove collection is an all classic American beach destination. In this coastal inspired selection, you’ll be surrounded by everything from whimsical ocean icons to driftwood and jute materials.



If you want to see more, visit Cost Plus World Market website or take a look at their latest catalog here. Also take a peek at their Bali collection video.

What I want now: garden stools

Original art by Lindsey Meyer

Lately everywhere I go, stores are fill with new merchandise for Spring. Color is all over the places and it seems that gardening is the main topic. Since I live in an apartment and the only plants I take care of are two succulents and one orchid; I can not fill my living space with garden stuff. Or can I?

In comes the garden stool! This seating thing for gardens is now very popular among interior spaces. You can find it made in ceramic, metal and even wood; pop color or the old fashion white. The only thing I know is that I can not live a minute longer without one.

I found many cute ones around the web. Although it is spring and colors are the order of the day, my focal fixation are whites just because this color can go anywhere you put it.
