Planning The Table

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  I have been so busy painting pumpkins for the last 6 weeks that I lost track of time and  I have neglected reading some of my favorite blogs! I am finally filling the home with Fall accessories and doing some finishing touches to the kitchen and butler's pantry. I started thinking about the Fall table and decided to begin planning and keeping a few must haves on file. Here are a few picks that I would love to have at my table and I cannot wait to see how all of you decorate yours as well.

I would love a few of these to mix in with real pumpkins!
Here at Pottery Barn.


I just love these faux branches from EarthFlora!

Monogrammed napkins in deep moss or bright orange from non other than The Enchanted Home.!

How cute are these Here.

Must have a few lovely Pheasant feathers in the mix and that should do it!

Modern Military Design For Mister

I was truly inspired today by Chairish! They had such amazing military pieces that could create a unique guest bedroom or man's cave for anyone's Mister.  I always see such gorgeous rooms on the internet and I myself am drawn to lovely feminine things.   I sometimes forget about a great masculine space.  I have gathered some perfect starters from Chairish, paired with some other finds from great sites and tried to do a modern take on military style. I almost feel like Fall lends itself to masculine design, with wools and earthy tones that pair well with a crackling fire.  Is there any military accessory that you find interesting?  For more wonderful finds go HERE!

A fun wall map as a mural!

A masculine rug like this one from Restoration Hardware.

If you cannot do a hide wall behind your bed this metal bed will suffice for sure!

Metal isn't the Mr.'s style then a gorgeous pewter leather bed by RHhome is the ticket!

A textural wall covering such as this one by Phillip Jeffries  give the room warmth.

A Pendleton blanket is always a winner.


Monochromatic Naval Art is a great choice it mixes well with modern paintings that have color.

Fall Fashion And Art Collide at Minted!

I love Minted! You can find fun affordable art as well as all your essential stationary goods all on one site.  Minted has even paired art with the latest fashion trends and asked if I too could play along. It was quite easy because Minted had so many great new pieces of art to choose from. You can even have it framed so it may be hung as soon as it arrives. Here are some fun pairings of Fall Fashion trends and Minted art.  To see more great  art go HERE! What is your favorite art or fashion trend right now? 

Anything that is warm orange screams Fall and is gorgeous.
 I paired this with a bold geometric that has touches of warm orange.


Jet black, need I say more?
