how cheery.

again, considering the effort it takes for me to try to put together one room with foresight and style, i truly admire an entire home that is this beautiful. enjoy!

moss

this savannah home was featured by martha stewart. i am so enchanted by the setting. i love the spanish moss hanging from the trees and the way the house looks nestled into its surroundings.

so calming. love the single plant.
what a great table.

welcome.

we moved into our home about a year ago and one of the first purchases i made was a wreath quite similar to the one below. i felt it was the appropriate way to welcome fall and to welcome guests. there is something so cheerful about a pretty wreath. i imagined other wreaths that would grace our front door -- an evergreen wreath for Christmas, a wreath of forsythia to bring the spring...but then I was so enamored with my fall wreath that I couldn't bear to take it down and to be honest I never purchased any other pretty wreaths to take its place. so it is still on my front door welcoming the fall again this year.

i like the idea of the transitional door hangings below. harvest and winter themes mingled together. wouldn't these be lovely for late november and early december? i am feeling motivated to find another beautiful wreath.

isn't this front just fabulous with the red door?

open me.

this is a tough one for me - endless options. and something so small that can have such a huge impact. decorative hardware, kitchen cabinet knobs and pulls. there are too many to choose from. or make for yourself. they can spruce up an outdated kitchen, bring a whimsical side to an otherwise regimented kitchen, or make a bold statement in a simple kitchen. you choose.

how convenient.

what can you do when you have an empty stretch of wall? i love a skinny table - plus it's a great place to keep your keys - even if it's not in your entry way!

also great when they are fully stocked. from pottery barn



never would have thought of painting only half, or having different legs, but it's incredible, especially combined with the rest of it. from house to home
