While there is much to dislike about this time of year – shorter days and cooler temps – what makes it enjoyable for me is the entertaining and gatherings that happen. The festive spirit and gaiety of getting together with family and friends over shadows winters arrival. And there is simply nothing better than easy fall entertaining – the kind that can be thrown together in minutes, allowing plenty of time to sit and enjoy the company of family and friends.
This weeks gorgeous home tour is a California dream. A tonal palette and serene layout provide the perfect backdrop to pops of indigo and black. Over-scaled and ornate wood pieces offer interest and impact in the most natural and soothing way, creating a home that is stylish, yet cozy, and the perfect addition to my inspired interiors series.
I realize the actual line is ‘magic mirror on the wall ….’ but it didn’t have the same effect as the title for this post. So, mirror, mirror on the wall it is.
