Ideas for Fall

The Lettered Cottage - Ideas for Fall

Layla and Kevin have inspired me, again, with this beautiful yet simple autumn mantle.  What I love about it is that it's clean, it's simple and it could see you from late September through November.  For October, all you would have to do is add a few pumpkins and you would be set.  I checked my local TJ Maxx and couldn't find the wheat bundles... so if you happen to see any, let me know where, because I want a pair.  I really do want Layla and Kevin to come play at my house.  Layla loves kitties and I have a sweet one :)

The Lettered Cottage

Layla (and Kev) over at The Lettered Cottage are debating putting down a brick floor in their kitchen... I say do it!  It looks fabulous!!!  Every Home I've ever been in that has a split brick floor looks amazing and it feels surprisingly good under foot. 

Anyway, she posted a picture of another beautiful kitchen that's just my style!  I love the combination of the Eames chairs with the weathered table... so wabi sabi!  My dream combo for a dining room table and chairs.  I can just smell the bread, tomatoes, basil and cheese  in a kitchen like this... ahhhhh.

Two Tone

The Lettered Cottage

OK, no, this still isn't my kitchen... but I've been toying with the idea of doing a two tone.  You know painting the upper cabinets white and the lower cabinets another color.  I love the grey color that Layla and Kevin used on their cabinets (photo above)... check out their blog/website, The Lettered Cottage... they are basically amazing!  Anywho, I'm thinking that maybe either a grey, taupe or sand color might be nice.  I'm still painting the inside of the cabinets apple green, so I think it would look awesome.
