A little bit of fall magic...

I love when fall arrives...

I love the smells...

the warm colors...

the super sunny days filled with a crisp breeze...

it always inspires me to organize and create warm and inviting spaces in our home...

I have a few items on my  (and my husbands) "to do list"

but that's another post....

today I wanted to look at great inspiration for fall...

How about grabbing a good read and cozying up in that great chair, wrapped in that soft blanket....

and how about that great ottoman...not over kill, but screams warmth...

and these are so cute and whimsical...

I especially love the letter...

and this simply classic mantel...

I love this wreath and against the black door, it is simple but what a statement...

and a little bit of modern chic.....

Well hope you enjoy thinking of fall decor...

I'll post pics of some of mine.....

A great little get away...

We went to visit some friends who have some property on a nearby lake....

They have just recently built a carriage house...

a three car garage and an apartment above it...

I wanted to share some pics of their pad because I love the rustic charm...

and check out this amazing lamp...

My friend did such a great job designing everything from doors to floors...

I love her lighting choices and the coziness she achieved in her open space....

She added such great architectural detail with the open stained beams contrasting the natural wood...

and this amazing lofted area....

wouldn't ya know she bought a piece for the house and I DIDN'T take a picture????

I was so excited to share her design that I forgot about my own????

OH WELL, the bathroom is coming along and I will share updated pics in a few, until then....
