It's been a busy week for me! Getting lots of things done around the house and I've been checking out the fall and Halloween decor in the stores and in blogland. I know it's not even September, but I love to decorate for the holidays and I am so ready for fall. Stop back later in the week for some fall color inspiration and adorable vintage inspired Halloween decorations. I've got these two posts just about finished!

In the meantime, I had lots of links from last week to check out and they were really great. Here's a few I want to spotlight for you. There is so much talent here and thanks to all of you for linking up!





Check out this beautiful tin lunch box from Christie at Three Pixie Lane. Not only is it a great find, but all the styling that went into this post is just adorable. Check out the full post where you will see all the cute wrapping and food that went into making this pretty picnic.

Tres Chere

This one is a major makeover by Angela and Debbie of  Tres Chere. It began it's life as a wooden cornhole (bean bag) game. Seriously, never in a million years would I have guessed what it started out as. Lots of great details make it a beautiful garden addition. Check out the post over on Tres Chere!



Last but not least is this gorgeous card from Lori at Choux Choux. It really is a work of art and I love that dress form adorned with fabric and the little pearls. The colors are fabulous! Wouldn't you love to get a card like this?


Thanks to everybody that linked up last week; I can't wait to see what this week brings.. If you've been featured, grab a button!

Summer is fading... the days are slowly getting shorter...

The weather is cooling off (thank goodness!)... only getting up into the 80s of late...


The children in my neighborhood are back in school and my purple coneflowers are in full bloom. I can always count on them for some late summer color in my garden. I love the color combination of pink petals and rusty centers; I think these two colors only blend together well in nature.

From the book, Modern Space by Jane Withers, photos by Christoph Kicherer

It's stark... with the only furniture a chair. I don't even like this chair, but it doesn't matter. The most beautiful thing is the light... the soft light through the sheers and that fabulous, glamorous crystal chandelier.

The fireplace is lovely... but not essential. The containers on either side of it and the orchid are pretty too, but they are not the star. It's the light and the pale beauty of the "uncolor" of the neutrals. The wood flooring is simple and beautiful; it doesn't really matter it's exact shade. Keep the "bones" of the room simple... the walls, the flooring and the window coverings; they are the canvas to build upon. Add one amazing star for the eye to savor... this crystal chandelier. After that, does it really matter what else you add?

The next time I begin with a blank canvas of a room, I will start with pale, neutral walls, wood floors, sheer draperies and most importantly, a fabulous crystal chandelier. If you cover the top portion of the picture with your hand so that the chandelier doesn't show.... the room simply does not have the impact that it does when you include the crystal light fixture. Start here... you can't go wrong!

I hadn't looked at House Beautiful Magazine in years. Of course I knew of it; it just seemed that the decor pictured in it wasn't something I would want to emulate. All that has changed.

Check out these images from the March 2011 issue. I've been picking up House Beautiful Magazine at the library... anxiously awaiting each issue as it becomes available.


 Now that I have exhausted the library's stock of the last 12 months' issues... I am now, a fan. Even better, I am a subscriber! Even though I may not choose to purchase the $2000 chair or $4000 headboard, I know exactly how to get the look... for a fraction of the price.



I wish I could find this March 2011 issue for sale somewhere... I have renewed it from the library three times; that's the limit... and I would still enjoy turning it's pages. The focus is on pink... in accessories and paint, and they give lots of paint suggestions by brand and name.

I became a subscriber for the inspiration... and to enjoy the large and glossy pictures in each issue. I turned to the web for inspiration over a year ago as I wasn't seeing decor that I liked in magazines. That is beginning to change. I still find amazing rooms on the web; perhaps the magazines are just catching up to the trends that have blossomed through blogs! Where do you turn for decorating inspiration... and just where do you think the trends begin these days?

Our house has been in full "off to college" mode in the past week. Both of my girls are living in apartments this year and I do believe they enjoy decorating as much as I do!

One of the things we saw that would be perfect for their walls were some city posters from HomeGoods. There was one for Paris and another for London.

The price tag was not in a college student's budget... even from HomeGoods! Instead, we decided to take pictures and try to replicate the art.Here's what we ended up with... pretty close to the original, if I don't say so myself! I have to give credit to Kim Klassen... this deisgn uses one of her incredible textures which she generously shares as freebies on her Texture Lovin List.



I've made an 8x10 version of the Paris poster that you can download and print if you like. You can find it here. That's what I have to share this week...
 

And if you liked Paris... you'll love London {available by clicking here}.

The fabulous features from last week's party begin with Lavender Garden Cottage. I am a huge fan of vintage luggage and this post brings on suitcase envy! On top of that, check out how she has styled her photo with the lace and bench... beautiful!


My favorite thing about this flea market booth styled by Stacey at A Sort of Fairytale is the strings of  flashcard like words! Her booth from Kane County Fairgrounds Flea Market is adorable!


Lynda at Something Created Every Day shows off more of my favorite things... bling! I would love to have stumbled upon this sale and been able to come home with these pretties!


 This Chicken Mansion by The Vintage Bag Lady is over the top... you can tell these chickens are living the good life, in style! I love all the beautiful details.
