fall decor

I've been looking around for good fall harvest decor (still in nesting mode!). Everytime I see decor in the stores though, I always second-guess how good it will look in my house, so I can never commit, and I just go back to looking for inspiration photos. Eventually I'll have some fall decor in my house!

Traditional Home Inspiration

I have really been into the interior design magazines lately: home decor, painting, furniture, textiles... I just spent a good deal of time looking through the galleries of Traditional Home and saved some images that stuck out at me for one reason or another.

wrap the walls

If we owned our home, I would definitely consider putting wallpaper in a (small) room or two. Something unique and unexpected, like these patterns from Anthropologie, with fun names like Mansfield Court, Topsy-Turvey, and Lady of the Manor. Cranesbill Castle is my favorite.

cottage in the woods

Wouldn't it be lovely to build a little cottage tucked away in the woods?

awash in color

Oh Happy Day is one of my absolute favorite blog reads. Jordan's creativity never ceases to amaze and inspire. I am loving the mix of letterpress and watercolor she recently featured; two favorite art forms combined into one lovely project.

creative ventures

Our fabulous photographer, Kate Headley, just launched her new blog and featured our engagement photos as one of her first posts. Congrats to Kate on the new blog--I love the new design!

I've also been meaning to post a congrats to the ladies of the Hive at 1511 for the recent opening of their new creative studio!

We were lucky to visit during our engagement shoot and during their recent open house and it's such a great concept! Ritzy Bee Events, Simplesong Design, and Kate Headley Photography all in one space, and a ridiculously awesome space at that. What an exciting venture!

that hat

I am in love with Carolina Herrera's latest bridal collection. Purely gorgeous. And I'm dying over that hat!

Oh that people still wore hats that way.

a book by its cover

That saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover"...? I totally do. And I'm totally judging that these coffee table and art books, recently reviewed in Veranda magazine, must be pretty fabulous. Just look at their covers!

I want to flip through them all.
