hello friends, hello fall

Well, it's fall...

all summer I kept meaning to get get to the blog, to get to your blogs, but life just got in the way. I've missed you, friends.

Project Brownstone has wrapped up, except for a few key delinquent pieces, whose absence have prohibited me from taking proper photos. Now that the family has returned, it may not happen, but I'm happy to say they were delighted with their home... It was few months of crazy, and somewhere along the way, summer passed me by. It's time for a much-needed slow-down at work, with only a few clients on my mind at the moment.

I love this time of year, with crisp days requiring cozy sweaters and the return of crackling logs in the fireplace, apple cider and fresh bread warming up the kitchen. While I'm not too keen on the traditional muddy earth tones associated with fall, orange always has a special place in my heart, and I've just come across two very beautiful spaces that feel very au courant.

first, it was this room  um... can you say perfect? I literally gasped when I saw it. I love every single piece. For those of you who love interiors as much as I do, you know how rarely that happens.

then, this room caught my eye... a more relaxed take, but the vibe is very similar.

a little swagger, a bit of cool, a lot of cozy... and there it is again, perfection. That, lovelies, brings us to my first fall palette: 

Caught up, I went digging around to find more of the same...want to see them? (of course you do! We're all in this for the eye candy, aren't we?!)

What do you think? Are you feeling it?

a little pretty

First of all,

THANK YOU for taking the time to read my curtain post yesterday,

I was blown away by how many of you commented - so sweet.

 It's unanimous - Roman Blinds got all your love. And mine!

I've been looking at some tutorials,

(thank you, Jennifer!)

and have been thinking about the simplest way to make them - 

I'll show you all my trial and errors :) when they are finished.

Keep your fingers crossed I do not trash any of my precious three metres, LOL.

Today I thought maybe a little pretty was in order.

Pantone loves pink and Benjamin Moore loves citron,

put them together and they form a palette that puts some spring in your step.

( okay, this skews a little more lemon than citron, but it's so pretty!)

Nina Ricci
This is true citron as I see it - more yellow than green,
with plenty of white to make it a tint rather than a shade.

This home has such a positive vibe.
A darker "citron".
Don't you just love that striped setee? Yummy :)
I am quite sure my husband would never agree to it,
but a girl can dream..

This has been around for ages, and talked to death,
but I still love this girls style - fearless.
