Spice up your room: Wallpaper

The days are near where I get to be creating vision boards for the rooms in my new place. I can't wait to move out again and have the option to really decorate and settle comfortably. I truly love a well decorated room and someone who has the interior design skills! One thing I do enjoy seeing is the use of design wallpaper. A bathroom would be the perfect place to try out these kinds of designs. A great design worthy backdrop with simple white touches. The white touches being the towels in a woven basket, small flower arrangement, soap & tray, and candles. How soothing and luxurious does this sound?? The next post on wallpaper will be my actual walls...stay tuned, but don't hold your breath! ;-)

Pumpkin Decor for the Trendy

Looking to keep your home trendy and simple, but still play in with the Halloween spirit? Leave it to Martha Stewart to have the perfect holiday projects for kids and adults. Halloween doesn't have to be filled gaudy, cheesy, and bloody decorations. Try filling your home with stylish fall pieces. The pumpkin is a great way to start. Too late to start? It will work for Thanksgiving as well! Martha has projects for Glitter Pumpkins, Pumpkin Vases, A Pumpkin Cooler, and Monogram Pumpkins.

Glitter Pumpkins: See link for the perfect glitter. Place on stands for a chic touch. Find stands at your local thift shop and spray paint for the color you desire.

Hey Pumpkin!

Pumpkin Vase: Carve out pumpkin and place flowers. For easy flower add, insert mini vase inside pumpkin (easier add: insert floral foam and attach flowers in vase).

Pumpkin Cooler: Similar to Pumpkin Vase, carve out pumpkin thoroughly and insert round bowl. Add ice and drinks!

Monogram Pumpkins: No more ugly jack-o-lanterns. Go for a monogram pumpkin theme. Include the members of your family or go for vowels!

Cluster Love

I'm a huge fan of home interior design and adore creative projects. I especially enjoy the home design blogs when they show before and after photos of a room. If you know me, you've seen my room designed so many times throughout the years. From tie dye walls, Starry Night themed, to now Victorian birdcage. I blame this on my mom, she is constantly re-decorating the house. I remember visiting from college and always finding the living room re-positioned or some room painted a different color. At least she has a good eye for design. So no one really minds, unless we are involved in the constant moving of furniture or items. Ha.

A new obsession has been this cluster of items for wall art. I can't decide whether I like china plates, mirrored frames, or photography art being clustered. How creative are the three projects below?! I can't wait to start my own cluster project. Is there a proper name for these type of projects? Haha, someone inform me. Anyways, who knew various sized and shaped items can look so well together? LOVE. Do you see the Keep Calm and Carry On poster in the last photo? ;)

Tips: Do a mock-setup before pinning the items up. Don't be afraid of gathering from different collections and finding the best items from thrift stores or swap meets. Don't like the color of a frame you like? Paint it!
