SWEET + SUBTLE

I know spring is on the way and I couldn't be more excited but, Im just loving this space. The gorgeous stone on the fireplace, the tufted chairs, and the soft color palette.. yum!

FEELING FALL

Call me crazy, but I always feel like fall is the time to add a little more to our living spaces, making them cozier, warmer, and slightly more lived in ( for those of us in the north, our homes are about to become a lot more lived in!) As well as adding a few things here and there, fireplaces are always set aglow beginning around this time, and that perfect ambiance we always think of this time of year.

Here are 3 quick and easy tips for  adding some warmth and seasonal glow to your home:

Candles: Add them where you can in small arrangements in odd numbers (like flowers). They will add  a new texture to the room, not to mention a whole new ambiance.

Textures: What are textures that say warm to you? Fur, velvet... even beige linen. Add some richer accents that compliment your existing color palette in the form of pillows, blankets, curtains, or new chair covers. These touches are easy to change in and out with the seasons.

Filling Open Spaces: If you have open spaces like tables, or a mantle, dress them up with some decorative pieces. These things don't need to be seasonal, just some things you like. Add books, candle and flower arrangements (think about branches instead of bright summer flowers) Set framed pictures into these vignettes or create a small gallery wall on a usually baron wall. 

Loving Lonny

All of us in blogland are drooling over Lonny Mag's third issue (you probably are too)! Every issue is deliciously packed with goodness and beauty, and while I am also totally smitten by Betsy Burnham's home and most certainly her living room, you have probably seen it on many other blogs (I sure have!). I also couldn't possibly pass up on Ryan Korban's super sexy home. So, I am going to share with you things in the entire issue that caught my eye, and hopefully your's too! What space is your favorite?

This entryway is so simple, and so classic. I'm so jealous of that gorgeous campaign piece. I saw one on Craigslist the other day just like it, and I was dying to have it. Unfortunately the person never got back to me!

I like the idea of a little hallway menagerie for some visual pleasing! A la Victoria Thompson.

I die. What an inspiring room. I don't think I would ever leave this place. Its elegant, eclectic, chic, omgsh... on and on. So fabulous Miss Betsey Burnham!

This is just a snapshot... I think I'm going to have to dedicate a whole post to this brilliantly talented boy. Ryan Korban's home is so sexy, so warm. I am totally intrigued!

This is just subtly beautiful. It feels so warm and cozy. It is clearly home to Antonia Thompson. The character that fireplace gives the room is unmatched.
