DIY Fall Decor

September 30, 2015

Fall is without a doubt my favorite season, I love the colours, the fashion and the flavours.

I’m lucky, my living space is decorated in oranges, browns and golds, so transitioning to fall is easy.  Regardless of that palette you’ve chosen for your space, transitioning between season doesn’t have to be hard to break the bank. Pillow, throws and themed accessories are an easy go to, but just as easy is re-purposing things you already have, like this simple Mod Podge DIY.

September 27, 2015

We are now officially in fall and with that comes the end of fig season.  Figs have a long and illustrious history, dating back to biblical times and are an incredibly versatile ingredient working in both sweet and savory dishes.

Curating a Well Traveled Home

September 17, 2015

A big trend in home decor for Fall 2015 is a curated look – that could be anything from a gallery wall to an entire space.

Have you finally settled down and bought yourself a quaint little home to set up camp in? Or maybe you’ve had Charleston home builders design you a brand new home you can start a family in after years of moving around? Whatever your situation, if you’ve been traveling around the world a lot before finding a house to call your own, you’re going to have a lot of items from your travels that you’ll want to show off. But how do you do showcase your travels while also making it look nice?

Since I have a wandering spirit and adventurous travel is a big part of who I am, reflecting that in my home is important to me. But doing so doesn’t mean carting home tonnes of souvenirs and artifacts, in fact creating a space that reflects your adventures is a delicate balance between timeless staples and subtle injections of far off places. Too many treasures from your travels and your home will start to look like a Grand Bazaar. Of course, I know some people who like to purchase different country flags after they visit. Some people will put the flags up in their house, whilst others might like to put them on house mounted flagpoles. It’s completely up to the individual, however, I would personally prefer to make subtle hints at places I’ve been to keep the house looking casual.
