A Touch of Rust

The fall feeling in the air has me thinking of rust color decor and adding a few touches can bring a dull space to life. I love this modern white and gray living room made more elegant with a touch of rust. Via Furniture Arcade

I have always loved how in Manor houses and country estates they have painted panells in their doors rather than just having them painted all one colour! So i decided to try it for myself. As our house has a theme of grey, black and white i decided on white doors with grey inside the panells. I bought one tester pot of crown paint in grey and some small paint brushes and decided to attempt my trial on the door between the living room and the porch.

To coffe table…or not to coffee table…

To coffee table or not to coffee table…that is the question. I find that most apartment dwellers feel that a living room isn’t complete without a coffee table. My mother is the quintessential queen of coffee tables, and tables galore for that matter, since every corner of the living room has a table. Her mantra: Where else do you set a drink? The remote? Your feet?

I’ve opted out of coffee table world for years now. With kids, it makes sense. We play on the floor, draw, sit on pillows, play the Wii. And for me, it makes for a great yoga mat space.

But here’s a clever option for coffee table lovers who want the option of open floor space sometimes. The roll away coffee table! Above is the Wisteria French Industrial Coffee table. $649

Cool colored CB2 Go-cart Camo Media Table for $159

For more Traditional appeal, the Montrose Cocktail Table from Bring It Home Furniture.  $249

There’s nothing better than adding a touch of color, pattern or excitement to an otherwise dull sofa, loveseat or chair in your home. Even if you’re still in love with your seating options, they may be lacking that certain something that once attracted you to them.

The good news is that you don’t have to break the bank to find great throw pillows that can really cheer up your space.

A easy way to enliven a dull looking space...creative throws and pillows!

Pale Blue Decor

Soft, classic, elegant, stylish…all these words apply when decorating you apartment with pale blue tones. Cool, refreshing and inviting, pale blue is not a baby boy color anymore. Softly sophisticated, pale ice blue is best with white and dark wood.

Another creative pale blue bedroom idea…love the idea of the striped walls that flow up to the ceiling setting off this very unique space.  This image and one above from Design Decor Idea.
