Southern Hospitality



I found fall!
It was right here is Texas, all along. Never made it to California, so I had to travel here to find it. 
Everyone knew I was from out of town, by the way my mouth hung open as I gazed into the trees.  The colors are like nothing you've seen before... well unless you live here. :) 


Staying with Anthony's parents in their gorgeous home, I felt spoiled. We even had a cute coffee bar upstairs, so we could enjoy a cup in bed. His mom is so thoughtful. I snapped some pictures around their home, because I was so in love with the decor. 

Deb really did a fantastic job styling and decorating everything. 

This chandelier was brought all the way back from Italy, they have moved it from their home in California. Who could blame them, it's gorgeous! Their home had a ton of custom work done by the builder. The floor plan is nicely laid out and flows from room to room. 





Treated to freshly baked croissants every morning. 
My bathroom had a Buddha statue and was very spa like. 



This amazing light fixture was actually carved from a tree in the front yard. It's suspended from the vaulted ceilings and adds just the right touch to their kitchen. 


A few more details. 
Deb has been hunting for all things peacock lately.
Another Buddha statue, guards the fireplace. 


The picture above, is taken from the landing that runs the length of the great room. It's the prettiest hand scraped wood, and I'm bummed I didn't get a picture of the underside. The home is filled with natural light from huge windows throughout.

Yes, that is real pasta enclosed in the front paneling of the drawers. 
An inexpensive touch, that adds a ton of flare.

Thanksgiving Tablescapes

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m sure there is all kinds of 
Holiday prep happening at your place.

Did you make up the menu and decide on your desserts? Have you chosen who’s eating at your house and whether you’re going to attempt Black Friday shopping?

There are a lot of decisions that go into making this Holiday a memorable one.
Since I’m sure you’ve being stressing and planning your menu, have you given any thought to your décor?
You can’t have your turkey dressed and not your table…

I’ve pulled a few designs that I hope will give you inspiration to create your own table décor, or give you guidance you were looking for.


Happy Thanksgiving


 Beauty all around You

I love the idea of using seasonal pumpkins for your centerpieces. The small or the medium size, or a mixture of both to add height and contrast. In the photos below the white pumpkins really pop against the colorful table runner. How pretty would they be if you painted them silver or gold. 









Keep it Simple


 For the more modern and minamilist household I suggest a less cluttered table and pick one item as a focal point. The tablecloth or table runner, the centerpieces, candals or the place settings. Go for bold colors on the big items, and classic white dining peices. 





Creativity is King

You can learn how to make these charming paper flowers, here. 
What a way to impress your guests, by giving them a beautiful hand crafted table centerpiece. A DIY tablescape cuts on cost and is a great conversation starter. I live the mix of colors; blush, periwinkle and the rosy orange. You can pick whatever colors match your home. Or mix it up a bit with patterened scrapbook paper.

Dee Eye Why

Being the crafty person that I am.. I decided that I should try and make some of the items I want to furnish my house with.

Well, I stumbled upon the KING of DIY blogs and found some pretty amazing projects, 
that I need to recreate. 


The first one I have chosen to do is a headboard for my bed. 
I was inspired by this one from West Elm. Found this tutorial on pinterest. 
And am still in the process of finishing mine. 

But here are some other projects that I think might interest you.

                                   check it below







this is my finished headboard :)
