These Are NOT Your Typical Autumnal Color Schemes

I have had fun this week pinning inspirational images of Fall that don’t feature the typical autumnal colors.

I am going to share them with you today. Maybe it will help you make some decisions on your Fall décor for this year.Hopefully it will inspire you as much as it has inspired me to think outside the box.

You will notice there is a paint chip that shows you the color combination you could add to your home.

When you look at these color combinations think of your very own home and how you could apply them. Maybe in a Fall arrangement, pillows, candles or any other accessory you change out for the season.

Some colors could be used on the walls, but the darker, brighter colors would make great accents for Fall décor.

I found a new program called Chip-It from Sherwin Williams. It is so easy to use and as you can tell I have had a lot of fun using it this week.

This next image seems to be a favorite on my pinboards!………

If you enjoying using blue/green in your home this is a great combination for your home.

I called this combination the softer side of Fall. Eucalyptus green is a color I enjoy using in the Fall in my very own home.

By adding pears and white pumpkins this can be used for Fall! Such a pretty combination.

Not everyone would use PINK for fall but when it is a pinky red and pulled together with golden-green, browns and gold it is a wonderful combination for Fall.

In fact I love to wear pink with camel for Fall……..

Camel is a staple in my Fall wardrobe!

(All above images can be found on my Pinterest boards)

I hope this has inspired you to step out of the box this Fall and use some fun and different fall combinations.

18 Ways To Decorate For FALL "WITHOUT ORANGE!"

   

 VIA

Every year when Fall comes around I find it hard to get motivated to change out my Summer décor to Fall décor. 

I love Fall weather, crisp air, beautiful colors in nature, but inside my home I have a hard time accepting Fall.

Fall decorating can be hard for a Springtime gal like myself. Especially when I don’t decorate with the typical Autumnal colors,( NO orange in my life!)

To help me get motivated I had to write down the elements, and colors that I DO enjoy.

I thought about what represents Fall to me and made a list.

By having this list on hand it makes it easier for me to change my décor to a more Fall-like look.

You will notice that in my list there are no russets, or oranges! 

So you see it is possible to decorate for Fall without using any of the colors in the orange family!! 

Do you like to use traditional autumnal colors, or are you like me?

My New Bedroom Lighting Is Up!!

  

We have been busy around our house. Well, I should say the electrician was busy around our house. This past week we had new lighting put in three rooms.

Over a year ago I ordered two Capiz shell chandeliers from West Elm.

I have had the fixtures for quite awhile, but was waiting until all the stars aligned to have them installed!!

(not really but I think Hubby was!)

Since my master bedroom has a soft ocean-like feel to it, I thought these would be a perfect addition.

 I have always had a fascination with this type of lighting.

What I love about them…….

*The shimmer and iridescence

*The way they move softly in the breeze.

*The tinkling sound.

*They look ethereal to me

*They add a bit of romance to the room

We had a few problems getting them hung at the right height that I specified, but the end results look exactly how I had hoped.

A dimmer is in place so I can get a wonderful candle glow at night.

I think you have all been very patient so I am going to show you them before the night stands are staged. 

I have something very special that is coming my way to place on my stand so that will be shown in a later post as soon as it gets here.

BEFORE STYLING

I am really anxious to style the nightstands, but all in good time, this has to be done just right!

To say I am happy with the lighting is an understatement. 

You should see them at night! 

They give off the most wonderful glow, and the shadows on the wall are fantastic. 

I only wish I could capture them in a photograph for you.

Even during the day with the lights off they have a wonderful shimmer to them.

Still more to do in my, 
"Good Life Of Design"!

Stay tuned for one more change!!
