As a designer I pay attention to the details of everything. When one of the Kardashians instagrammed themselves in front of a stove, I think I was the only one who looked first at the backsplash. When I go to … Continue reading
This tablescape is stunning. Love the hues and how warm it feels. Pretty and light for a Spring or summer wedding and perfect for fall. The burlap natural elements makes it a little rustic. The gold accents brings in the glam. I also like the idea of different seat cushions. Making sure the colors stay in the same party, keeps the look cohesive despite various patterns.

From bedroom interior to tablescape. Yes I know it’s not the same blanket. However the purple hue made me think how easily we could use a scarf, sheets or curtains with a bold pattern for transforming a tabletop.
Have you repurposed something for dressing a table?
In Wisconsin we had a super mild winter which had an impact on our apple orchards so a lot of farms didn’t offer apple picking due to the shortage. I was looking forward to it too since I went last year. But it’s still a great time to bake, cook, drink….and even decorate with the fruit…
When people have fall weddings, especially rustic barn ones, I love to see apples on display. Paired with wine barrels and other woodsy elements like branches, it offers a pretty fall atmosphere…
But you don’t have to have an outdoor wedding. An upscale one inside a hotel is just fine…
My favorite part of fall is caramel apples….and fall colors. You can set up an interactive candy apple bar for a fun end to a party. That can serve as guests’ favors as well for a wedding…
Apple cider stations are another great way for guests to mingle….
I destroyed an apple crisp a few weeks ago. I put it on broil because I was too impatient with it baking. Walked away & four minutes tops….the top layer was charred. I said I enjoy cooking, not baking. But I will master it because it’s just so good.

I recently did a Rachael Ray recipe with maple glazed apples, potatoes & sweet onions. I’m very picky but it was good surprisingly. I want to try the above.

Haven’t done a QOTD in awhile. When I came across this pretty almost perfect teal hallway, it got me thinking. We all don’t like every single trendy thing that makes it’s way to published interiors everywhere, so I ask, what are you sick of seeing? Or what trend never floated your boat or rocked your cradle?
For me, I loved sea urchin decor, especially in lighting but it is everywhere. And I’m tired of it. I have even been reluctant to feature a room that had it in recent weeks. I was going to even crop out the whole top part of the image above just to use it without rolling my eyes at the lightning. I even rolled my eyes at the real life aea urchins that were at the georgia aquarium 3 wks ago.
Yep, that was me touching starfish. I guess the little sea critters have to get some shine too considering how popular their friends are in coastal design…
However, despite my annoyance, it’s my frugal design goddess duties to give you an easy diy tutorial to get the look with styrofoam balls & tooth picks spray painted. Thank me later.

Leave it to a sequin linen table cloth or seat cover to transform a nice chic tablescape into something glitzy and glam. If I were staying in Milwaukee for my 30th bday next month, I’d do something like the black, white & pink setting for the dessert table…

{Brooke Keegan} When I saw the above on Pinterest, I blurted out “shut the front door”. I’ve blogged about fun ways to use balloons and ways to display photos but never thought of this. So simple. This would also make … Continue reading
