Fabric Scheme for a Fall Living room

Can you believe that we have our windows open in North Carolina today? It is just beautiful and I now have a little Fall Fever. How about you?

Speaking of Fall....I have started putting together some of the Fabrics I would like to use for our living room during the Fall season.

Last week I told you about my little lumbar inspiration for the sectional couch. That is what started my obsession of finding some patterns and colors that would work in our space.

I love the Mustard color that we see in wheat fields and on colorful leaves in the Fall. Some people really don't like that mus-tardy-yellow...Not me! As you all have figured out, I pretty much love every color in the rainbow if it is paired with the right accessories and Fabrics!!


So here is the plan:

1. The Yellow stripe is going to be made into a floor pillow so it will add a little punch below the sofa.

2. This Moroccan inspired Yellow Fabric that I found at Jo-Ann's will help me recover the rocking chair seat that is currently sitting in the corner of the living room. Also, if I have enough fabric leftover I would love to add a small tab to the side of my floor to ceiling white grommet curtains.

3. Not sure if I will use this pillow or not, but I made it from some napkins I found in Kiawah last year.

4. I am in love with this Ikat fabric that I also found at JoAnn Fabrics. I will make the Lumbar Pillows out of this fabric and might also use what is leftover to spread this color in the kitchen area.


I am anxious to find some time this week to finish some living room projects!

What colors inspire you and get you in that Fall mood?

For the Love of....

Gray & Yellow

Yellow Door

I am totally in love with the color gray. I really think it is fabulous. Many people are scared to try gray in their homes because they feel that it will make their room very sterile and not so inviting. Many think that it would make their home feel cold.

I am the opposite. I think gray is the new "neutral", just like beige has been the neutral over the past 10 years or so.

Gray is very versatile. It adds a kind of modern sophistication and when you add a pop of color like yellow, orange or turquoise it adds the warmth people are looking for.

Isn't this kitchen gorgeous? Very simple and a great use of space.

OK...if you are not drooling by now...there is something seriously wrong! I love everything about this room: The painted lines to look like molding, the carpet that looks like ornate tiles, the bedding and the yellow tufted ottoman. Oo La La!

This room is very regal! It gives you an idea how you could mix gray and yellow with some black and white. The chrome fixtures around the room really draw your eye into the room. Just beautiful!

Light and bright mantel. Doesn't it remind you of spring?

Those Yellow chairs really pop with the gorgeous herringbone patterned floor.

So have I convinced some of you that Gray can be warm and Fabulous!??
