The Everyday Home

Category

If you’ve been following us for a while now, you know how much I love playing with traditional seasonal and holiday colors, and that’s especially true for the fall! Instead of a traditional autumnal palette of oranges, browns, and burgundy I love mixing it up. Last year I created a fall tea party with pink, green and gold pumpkins and this year I wanted to design a table that was inspired by one of our favorite paintings “Pastel Me a Story” by Carolyn Joe!

I have a lot of chinoiserie in our home, so I definitely wanted to incorporate that in the tablescape, as well as some pinks and light greens to tie in with my painting. I collaborated with Cavendar of Dream Creator Designs who designed the most incredible upholstered and velvet pumpkins with this color palette. I cannot get over how perfectly they coordinate – they completely transformed the look of the table and brought my visions to life. Plus the quality is impeccable and the stems are actually real pumpkin stems!

I paired the velvet pumpkins with some chinoiserie vases and jars and, of course, some fall florals and the foundation of the table was complete! To bring the whole look together, I brought in some blush candlesticks, sage green napkins, gold flatware, and place settings which consisted of my favorite glass beaded chargers, a simple white dinner plate topped with a chinoiserie salad plate.

I love how bright and colorful this table is. It still screams fall thanks to the adorable pumpkins from Dream Creator Designs but it still coordinates with the style and design of my home! The perfect combination!

Thank you all so much for being so patient with us as we have been taking some time off to get settled in our new home! As most of you know, Landon and I bought our first house a few weeks ago and we have been up to our elbows in boxes, packing tape, paint samples and fabric swatches!

So many of you have expressed interest in the process of how we turn our vintage little charmer into a home suit for everyday entertaining! We can’t wait to show you all the exciting projects we’ve been working on, but in the meantime, we wanted to share the inspiration board that we put together which has been serving as our guide in designing our home!

Style wise – we are going for a sophisticated glam look with vintage and traditional touches. Our home was built in the ’50s but has been updated in the past few years, so we are trying to build off the vintage charm and continue to bring in a sophisticated and contemporary vibe. We want it to have a sense of formality but still be comfortable and approachable for our guests and a little oasis for us when we get home. 

We are focusing on a color palette consisting of gray, seafoam, white, gold and dark brown accents. We are carrying this color scheme throughout the entire home to give it some unity, with the exception of our guest room and study, which will be a bit more bold.

We are having so much fun with this process and have some big updates for you over the next few months, but in the meantime, be sure to check out our Instagram story for daily projects and updates in real time! We can’t wait until our little project is fully entertaining ready!
