Decorating for the Fall

Well, my favorite time of year is here again….FALL!  I was excited by this cool weather, and went out this afternoon to buy mums and pumpkins to decorate my front porch.  From that, I was inspired to provide some affordable tips on decorating the front entry of your home.  The entryway and/or porch of your house, is the first thing everyone will see when visiting.  First start off with hanging a festive wreath that has leaves, berries, sugar pumpkins, fall ribbon, and/or sticks.  I prefer a wreath that is simple using only one element, but this focal point into your home can be as ornate as you’d like.  For a step further, get some hay bales and set them up on your porch or at your entry way.  Then arrange some pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, and/or leaves on the hay bales.  Also add a candle or a small birdhouse to make it even more unique!  Lastly, place the mums in decorative pots that you’re no longer using for your summer flowers and arrange them around the hay bale(s).

Enjoy the Fall!

Making Lemonade out of Lemon….it begins today, NOW!

Today is the day that it all begins…the next step of my design career.  Over the past year, life has definitely been thrown some curve balls.  And like the old expression, “Make lemonade out of lemons”, that is what our family has done!  After lots of thinking and contemplating about returning to the “design world”, I am taking a leap of faith and have signed on as a Design Consultant with Willow House, a home accents company featuring beautiful and stylish accessories and products for your personal space.  In conjunction with this new endeavor, I am starting an Interior Design Consulting company, which is a personal goal that I’ve always wanted to fulfill.  I want to assist people in making their personal visions of a space into a reality.  Too often people have an idea or concept, but can’t implement it, and that’s where I will come in.  I want to get into their minds (without being their psychologist) and try to envision what they desire.  Hopefully with these two ventures, each will complement each other, and this will be a true success!
