{Throwback Thursday} Design 101: Design Terms Pronunciation Guide

Throwback Thursday today calls for my most popular and most pinned Design 101 Post.
From June, here is my Design Terms Pronunciation Guide. 

There are some design terms that I've heard since I was a little girl...{I grew up with an Antiques Auctioneer as a father and "Chinoisserie" and "Trompe l'ouile" were things that were regular vocabulary words around our house). But every now and then a design term comes up that throws me for a loop and sometimes as I'm saying the name of something, I wonder if I'm pronouncing it correctly. So I've reviewed and rounded up a few for us all.
Ever wondered if you're pronouncing "Matalesse" correctly?
Have you murdered "Ikat"?
NOW YOU'LL KNOW!

Halloween Roundup {Simply Done= Well Done}

I love Halloween Decorating. And it seems like Halloween has really taken off as the main event in Seasonal decor for Fall. Each year Halloween decorations come out earlier and earlier and are more and more elaborate. I'm sure you can guess, I'm not a fan of tacky plastic decor...
even when we're talking about Halloween.

Here are my top picks for tasteful AND fun Halloween decorations.

Sometimes, simply done is well done.

Falling Forward: Warm up your interiors for Fall

When Fall rolls around I love to cozy-up my spaces. Cozy doesn't mean CLUTTER, but thoughtful layering, just as you would layer your clothing, you can layer your interiors!

No matter what your style is, there are ways to add warmth to your home. Here are my favorite ways to warm up my home for the change of Seasons.

1. Books

2. Warmer Metallics GOLD AND BRASS

3. Organics {feathers, branches, wheat, wood, natural shapes and textures...more than pumpkins and gourds, etc}

4. Cozy Textiles

Happy Fall!!!

XXXOOO.
