I truly love warm weather and sandy beaches, but when fall rolls around, my heart swells. There is just something about the crisp air and pumpkin-apple-cinnamon-scented-everything that makes me crave a warm and cozy home.
I have always equated fall with a certain color palette…orange, amber, yellow, red and brown. This year I wanted to push myself outside of that traditional take on fall and come up with a new scheme that still felt “fall” to me. The Modern & Fresh Fall series that Lindsay and Kristen created gave me the perfect opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
I found my inspiration in fabric. I was drawn to a combination of rich colors…dark teal, plum, mustard yellow, charcoal gray and black. And since every girl needs a little sparkle in her life, I knew I’d be adding some metallics into the mix, as well. ;)
I used my inspiration fabrics and ribbon to DIY new curtains {which, forgive me, are still not hemmed because I am installing new curtain rods in the very near future}, new table runners and envelope pillow covers. Then I brought in a bunch of décor that screams fall to me…lots of candles, snuggly blankets and textured pillows. I painted pumpkins, acorns and branches…and added some peacock feathers and pine cones, too.
So, enough with all the words…time for some pictures!!
I hope you guys enjoyed taking a peak into our Modern & Fresh Fall home! I really enjoyed the challenge, and am so grateful that I could be a part of such a talent-filled series!
