Fall Homes

While I am home recooperating, I am very lucky to have these top award winning chefs to prepare my food each day. My husband Jim and son David are doing a great job of keeping up my work at the house. Lucky lady.

Fall is here and nothing gets those creative juices going better than a cup of tea and reading my Romantic Homes magazine. Also be sure to check out the new items with my site at Layla Grayce.

Projects

Labor Day weekend has so many things to choose to do with family and friends! My problem begins with all the projects I want to work on and so little time.

Another way to enjoy this wonderful three day weekend, just stay home, curl up with a good book and some relaxing tea!

Do I go flea market shopping for those special finds that are just begging me to buy them or at least pick them up and hold the item in my hand. I just adore these little hat boxes! So many ways to use them and great gifts.

Do I choose to work on this chair recovering project? I love the chair, but the blue and white is really draw me in. Such peaceful colors.

On any day of this special weekend, I most surely will have a good cup of coffee.

Home Sweet Home Sale

For the month of August, we are having a Home Sweet Home Sale. Just in time to get our homes ready for the beautiful array of fall colors. Shown here are the placemats with the Papika color. Each place mat sells for $6.00.

How can you add beauty to a bouquet of flowers? Just bring some fruit to the table and in the vase. Also add pumpkins and indian corn as center piece settings for fall dining.

This is another warm and fresh wall hanging of Heritage Lace for $20.00 each.

Floating Headboard

Need a vacation? Need to update the beach house bedroom? For some quick and inexpensive change, lood at these two ideas.

Romantic Homes magazine has wonderful articles on relaxing bedrooms. A perfect way to create that floating headboard will be using beautiful lace sheers like these shown here in this photo. Mount curtain rods above the bed and add this refreshing breezy peaceful look.

This headboard treatment has been created with the use of wall hanging plate holders, french bulletin board for refreshing look at travel photos, framed with blue/white/beige decorator fabric and beige tiebacks hung on Restoration Hardware swing out rods.

Summer Decorating

With all the grad parties, a great way to put some drama on the manta is to add black. Shown here is the before.

Now the after. A fun way to dress up the mantle, great with candles galore!

One day this week while coming home in all the rain from Hurrican Alex, this little guy was there in the pool, all alone. I think he was wanting me to join him.

I love summer decorating. Sea glass is always fun to use in your table settings. Shown here are some cute shell shaped dishes.

Cool Colors

I do love those cool colors of red-white and blue. Independence Day is coming up soon. Get the flags out and show honor for our great country we live in and the freedom we have.

Hope you and your families have a great 4th of July.
