Would you be able to live in a home with a room decorated completely in one color? Or is it just a look that you love but would never consider replicating?
I think I fall in the second category. I love the idea of a monochromatic room – it would be far less daunting to decorate, I think. Kind of like an “anything goes” approach – as long as all of your anythings are the same color!
While I love the idea of keeping the floors and the walls similar colors, I love the red room with bright white walls decorated in only red wall fixtures. And the red floors with layered red carpets. Now that’s fun.
But could I live with it? Maybe I could… What about you? The real question is – what color would you choose to do an entire room in? Of course I love the pink, but my boyfriend probably wouldn’t!

Hello and happy Fall Friday! Does anyone have a fun weekend planned?
Since I have come down with a nasty cold, I’ll be spending the weekend on my couch – wishing my couch was this awesome Cupcake sofa shown above!
Hopefully, I’ll have enough energy by Sunday to make this Braised Pork as previously planned!
I may waste all that energy convincing my boyfriend to buy me one of these faux beauties.
Anyway, wouldn’t you love to stay in this beautiful home with rooms decorated in Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel? You’ve gotta check it out!
If you have a scarf addiction, here’s a great way to store them.
And finally, a fun paper mache DIY for you to try.

How cute is this entertaining idea from Better Homes and Gardens? Add some fall festivity to the table by serving snacks in the gourds, rather than surrounded by them! I love the detail it adds to the table.
Wouldn’t it be even more fun to make a fall soup and serve it to each guest in one of those gourds? Or to get even more creative, I would serve a dip in the cut-out gourd and then do the same thing to a large pumpkin, line it with saran wrap and use it as a chip bowl. And then use the pumpkin bowl for Halloween candy. And just as I was wondering how a hollow pumpkin would work as a punch bowl… I found one on Pinterest, also from Better Homes and Gardens!
I love these festive ideas – and how relatively simple they are to make!
What other ideas do you have for hollow pumpkins and gourds?

Since it’s ten days before Halloween, I thought some orange home decor would be appropriate. Even though I really can’t stomach the thought of too much orange in my life, I know there are plenty of people that absolutely LOVE the color orange!
The first image above is a living room with orange walls. The room has lots of light and the orange is a bright, happy addition. How about orange furniture, as seen in the next two images? A matching orange sofa and chair are the focal point of this otherwise neutral living room, and an orange headboard is perfectly accented with white and orange bedding.
Finally, why not entertain in orange? This bright tabletop can make anyone happy with its vibrant linens and colorful flowers.
Although these spaces are not Halloween-related, they make the perfect foundations for Fall and Halloween decor! How have you implemented orange into your decor?

How’s the weather where you are today? It’s a beautiful sunny Fall day here in NJ and it would be a wonderful day to spend walking in a city or a little lovely park. Too bad other commitments prevail and we can only dream about meeting an old friend, a new love or a fun family member at the gorgeous restaurant shown above.
The high ornate ceilings allow you to take in their amazing seating arrangements. But the real question here is not what would you order, but which seat would you choose? The plush tufted purple sofas or the intricately private chairs? If it were me, I’d ask my lunchmate to switch with me half way through the meal, so that I could get a taste of both seats.
What about you – which would you choose?

Happy Friday!
Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Ladies, if you do – maybe you should consider this adorable 1960s hairdo for whatever fun fiesta or outing you may be attending.
Even though it’s still morning, I saw this mac n’ cheese over at Happiness Is… and I can’t fight the cravings! I might have to make the recipe from Gojee this weekend.
As far as fashion goes, check out this new unique watch from Nooka or these endearing bracelets from Gracelette that donate to the homeless.
If you have a few minutes, check out this beautiful tree house. Would you want to live in one of these? I think I would!
And finally, a fun filing cabinet project to add some fabulousness to your office.

How do you decorate for Halloween? If you’re the type of person that switches out your pillows seasonally, we’ve got the perfect bunch for you, found on Etsy.
My mom always switched out pillows for Christmas, and I think it would be fun to do for all seasons now that I have a place of my own. It’s a fun easy way to add some festivity – and if you just buy covers, they don’t take up too much storage space.
What’s your take on seasonal pillows?

Why give up a room in your house for a pool table when you can have one right in your dining room?
These unique modern pool tables from MBM Biliardi of Italy give you plenty of stylish options to do so. If a few guests want to hang out and snack while the rest want to play a game of pool – it’s so problem with the convertible billiard table.
What do you think about having a modern dining room that’s also your billiard room? Is it making the most of your space or just a ridiculous idea?!

When it comes to bedrooms, what do you prefer?
Would you rather a dark, dramatic bedroom with bold walls, monochromatic decor and minimal lighting? Or would you rather the complete opposite with high white cathedral ceilings, flowy curtains, bright decor and plenty of sunlight?
Planing your interior, don’t forget about your windows. High quality curtains that you may find here is a must for your room harmony.
Maybe you prefer a little bit of both…dark walls with bright bedding – or vice versa.
Tell us – when it comes to modern bedrooms – what would you rather?
