Fall is so ready to step in and so are the holidays that come with it. That’s why I thought it would be nice to blog about table setting ideas, hoping you might get an idea or two for your upcoming get together-s with close friends and loving family. First of all I’ll write about burlap used as tablecloth, as the idea has me hooked and won’t let go :). The rustic feeling burlap gives to a setting is beyond heart-warming and cozy, so I highly recommend giving it a try.
Pick a color for this fall? Check!
I’ve finally chosen a main color for this fall season! I never do that normally, but this year it just came onto me and I couldn’t help, but melt and accept the idea! You won’t be surprised to hear what is that color as I blogged a few times about it (like here, here and here) – teal/peacock blue! I’m fascinated with this rich and deep hue, it’s so sophisticated and glamorous! I love it both in interiors and fashion, so I guess my choice couldn’t be more perfect! I already bought a few scarves and pieces of jewellery and I won’t stop here – it’s been way too long since I had some popping colors in my life.
What is your color for this fall season? Are you sticking to the traditional brown or going with more daring shades?

Monday with a dash of lavender
I’ve been always in love with lavender, it’s such a pretty and feminine flower (the same applies to the color, right?). It’s simple enough to be used in a day to day arrangement yet it’s sophisticated and elegant (perhaps because of its simplicity?). As for the color, I’ve said it many times, it’s my mother’s favourite color so how could I not love it? Other than this, lavender is a shade you can go no wrong with if you want to get a romantic, French inspired space. What can I say, I’m a girly girl :)
The weekend
Make it wonderful, sweets, because there’s a new week right around the corner (which I won’t be speaking more about), so make sure you take full advantage of the (perfect) weather, some you-time and a book, perhaps. Hugs to all!

Mantra of the day
It’s been a crazy week over here, so today I’ll make it fast and simple (it’s Thursday after all, which to me feels like not yet Friday, but definitely not Mon-Wed work mode). Anyway, here’s a reminder we should all frame and put on the fridge, I mean it! The words are so true and the quote is motivating (to be grateful and stop seeking perfection).

Last days of summer
I have to admit I’m being sad that summer days are almost over. I know the other day I was craving pastel colored homes, but today I’m back again at happy yellows, bright pinks and turquoise – I’m the person who can never have too much of this. Or summer, that’s why I’m a bit nostalgic today. Dear summer, it was amazing having you with us. Till we meet again – love, L. This is an homage to you, you rock!
Happy Hump day!

Indoor fauna
It’s always fun to spice up your home with attractive little pieces that might be inherited treasures, thrift finds or pretty home decor investments. That’s why I thought you’d like to see a post about how people bring fauna into their homes. There might be peacocks, elephants, horses, frogs etc., one thing is clear to me – the idea is brilliant!
Warm homes
Perhaps I’m anticipating the cool days that fall (and winter afterwards) has to offer to us, but I found myself today craving cozy, warm homes. And just perfect felt (I swear, I really had my heart skipping a beat at the idea of) an image of a soft beige room, without any bold hues or details, just the grandeur of a soothing space where it’s all about earthy, warm colors. These shots from the latest Lonny speak for themselves:
DIY: photo-wreath
I fell in love with the idea of making a photo wreath, such an easy DIY yet so heart-warming, a piece that will remind you of important people and events in your life, so I promise you’ll cherish it for a very long while. It’s impressive how often we’re reminded that life it’s all about small things.

Wishlist: wishbone chair
Isn’t the wishbone chair by Hans Wegner so amazing? The shape, the impact on the room – it’s all so catchy. What can look like a simple chair might transform your space into an epic design piece. I’m totally digging a wishbone chair (or even a replica), I know my home wouldn’t mind such a treat :)
