Elegant Fall Entry

Welcome to my home!  I’m using warm and cool tones together…colors I’ve never used before and I’m soooo loving it! I went to the Hot Skwash design studio in Tigard, Oregon (just across the river) and sat with Daria to design and plan what we wanted to do for my entry.

But let me pause for a brief moment and let me point out my new favorite moto jacket.  It’s less than $50 and this khaki color is so gorgeous right?!  The quality is beautiful and fits so nicely.  Just perfect with the fall, especially layered over with this tank I purchased over the summer (sold out but similar look here). It would look cute over so many different tops.

Back to my pumpkins…

We chose to use these colors for our entry color scheme: Spa, Wedgewood, Latte, and Bone. 
To see the different sizes they’re made in and decide what sizes you want, you can click here.

A few weeks ago, I found these gorgeous gold eucalyptus stems, golden glittered faux money plant stems, and glittered beaded branches to replace all the cherry blossom stems that were in my ginger jars for spring and summer.

We added a couple of 4″ beaded pumpkins to adorn the arrangement and add a little something special.

I had a few gold ferns from last year’s stash as well I threw on the ends.

At the top of my staircase is a beautiful jumbo feathered pumpkin in “Cashew” and a 5″ Spa-colored pumpkin next to it.

I love this tall gold lantern.

I remembered I bought a dozen gold candle wreaths from World Market on clearance last year at the end of the season for less than a dollar each.  They were perfect for the tall gold lantern below and for this candle on the table also.  These jumbo velvet pumpkins with feathers from Hot Skwash are delicious, aren’t they?!

These chinoiserie panels make me swoon every time I walk up these stairs!

I love using furs in the fall and winter when decorating.  Throw a fur throw over a bench with a trio of pumpkins and it’s a perfect vignette. Easy peasy.

More pumpkins in Bone, Spa, and Wedgewood.

I love this view!  When we first moved in and received this chandelier from Bellacor, all 4 feet of it took my breath away. It’s coastal glam vibe with the mother of pearl, white wooden beads, and champagne finish was so perfect.  Every time we walk up and down the stairs or in and out the door, it makes me smile.  And now that it’s fall and the entry is adorned with pumpkins…I’m smiling extra big!

 

 

Elegant Fall Living Room

Last week I shared my Elegant Fall Mantel & Living Room In Gray & Gold tour.

I collaborated with Hot Skwash again this year to create the most beautiful scene of pumpkins on my coffee table and on my mantel.  Please click HERE to see my full post on my living room details.

 

Elegant Fall Kitchen

I originally had a few small pops of blush in my white and gold kitchen for fall but after setting my fall table, it just didn’t work with the blush in the background so I took it out.  So, white and gold it is and I’m loving it!  I have plenty of it, that’s for sure!

 

 

I cut some of this new beaded garland (I’ve bought a bunch of it for the holidays…it’s so pretty) and put it in this snack bowl with the pumpkin and loved the way it looked.

 

Find pieces, like cutting boards and metal wreaths or stands, that you love and layer them.

 

 

I used some of that beaded garland here too on this jumbo pumpkin by Hot Skwash. I love it!

 

The beautiful ornate hurricane on my mirrored tray.  It was a fun find at Ross. Can you believe it?! I just love it!

 

 

 

 

Elegant Fall Table

Earlier this week I shared my Elegant Fall Table in Gold, Ivory & Soft Aqua.

You can read that entire post for more details and to see the collection of limited edition Hot Skwash pumpkins here and here) that I used for this table, as well as all of the other pieces to create this look.

It was also a treat to add these gorgeous Aquarius goblets from my friends at Patina Vie.  I love creating fall tables with all of these beautiful details!

  

Elegant Fall Master Bedroom

I kept my blush pink velvet bedding for fall and winter and faux fur accents.

I brought my blush pink velvet pillows, also by Hot Skwash, from last year’s fall table and used them up in my room (and also Brooklyn’s room which I haven’t photographed yet).

I also brought up a few ivory pumpkins.  I thought they’d look so cute on my blush pink ottoman.

 

 

These mini pumpkins with Swarovski crystals are the prettiest for just the smallest, prettiest fall accents around my room!

In my sitting chair corner, it’s the coziest little seat with faux fur and pink pumpkins and I keep my favorite slippers there.  This is where I often sit to write in my gratitude journal.  There’s a lot of reflection that happens here!  And this sweater, by the way, is so soft and comfy for fall and winter!  I love the camel and blush colors in it too!

 

Pretty pumpkins adorn either end of my dresser and I love waking up and seeing them all each morning!

 

 

Each nightstand also has pink pumpkins.  I didn’t photograph my chaise lounge here in my bedroom!  But…there are some on my tray there too so I’ll need to update this post with a picture.  I just love the pumpkins!   I literally place them wherever I can in the bedroom and I’m so grateful my husband doesn’t mind all the pink because I sure enjoy it!

The post Elegant Fall Home Tour appeared first on Summer Adams.

Today I’m excited to be joining a group of over 35 talented bloggers who are also touring through part of their home ready for fall. Welcome to those of you coming from Amber Tysl’s blog! Wasn’t her fall decor so beautiful?! I always love seeing what she’s done!

 I’ve had sooooo much to share with you already this fall (see here).  I also shared my first fall tablescape earlier this week.  Today I get to reveal my master bedroom updates I made for fall and winter. Come take a look!

Here’s what my bedroom looked like BEFORE…

Above is what my bedroom looked like earlier this spring and summer.

Then I decided to make another summer update to my bedroom…because I felt like it. Isn’t that always why?  I wanted to do something fun, something different.  Those palm pillows were so fabulous and we were getting ready to leave to Hawaii with our kids and besties.

I loved bringing in more blush but this time it needed to be a bit more elegant and cozy.

Collaborating on my bedroom with Pom Pom At Home

My friends from Pom Pom At Home asked if I’d like to collaborate on some bedding for this season and I gladly agreed, as I’ve always loved their brand.  Everything they have is so soft and feminine and elegant.  They are known for their high-end quality and luxurious look.  I couldn’t think of anyone better to dress my bed for the fall and winter season.

Looking through all of their beautiful bedding, I was drawn right away to the Grace Collection in the pink champagne color, with it’s feminine embroidery and scalloped edges.  It’s more of a peachy-blush and I love it.  Downstairs I have more of a mauve-blush so I like having some warm pinks up here as opposed to the cool pinks downstairs.  I love all shades of pink and love layering them too.

The Grace Pillowcases are stunning and I love the way they drape over the edge of the bed.

The matching euro shams from the Grace Collection are so beautiful with the lace overlay.  I love pretty details, don’t you?!

I’ll be sharing some more pictures of this bedding soon but for now, I folded the duvet cover over and laid it on the end of my bed.  Since it’s fall, I love the sheet and white coverlet on me at night for a couple of hours and then as the house cools down a bit more, I end up pulling the duvet up over me.

I found some pretty throw pillows that I had planned on putting on the bed but the euro shams were so beautiful that I didn’t want to cover them up at all. Instead, I added an ivory faux fur oblong pillow.

I also bought the matching faux fur throw blanket on my bed to bring in those cozy fall and winter vibes.  Don’t you just want to go and cozy up here?!

It’s especially at night when we’re cuddled up in bed watching a show and we light these delicious fall candles from Agape Candles.  These are seriously some of my very favorite candles!  Rachel does such an amazing job creating these different scents and they smell soooo good in our home!  Pass on the popular bath company that sells candles and get hers….you’ll thank me.

Hotskwash Velvet Pumpkins

Taking this cozy romantic bedroom to another level for the fall was adding the most gorgeous velvet pumpkins around my room (and the rest of my home).

One of the fabulous things about relocating our family to the Pacific Northwest from Texas this last year was getting to meet some friends I’d met on Instagram that live here also.  Daria, the designer and creator behind Hot Skwash, was one of those people.  I’ve been a huge fan of her creative talents and it was an honor and a thrill to go to her warehouse in Tigard, Oregon (just across the river from us) and see all of the gorgeous pumpkins and other creations in person.  She was so gracious to collaborate with me and help me create gorgeous fall vignettes with her pumpkins.  I have a few fun things in the works with her so make sure to stay tuned for that!

It was really fun to see all of her custom orders in the backroom that were filled of pumpkins made with designer fabrics and even embellished with jewelry, fascinators, feathers, swarovski crystals and more.  I was so inspired by those that I grabbed a few fun pieces, including a small brooch of my grandmother’s, and placed them on one of my small ivory pumpkins.  Isn’t that fun?!

I also placed them throughout the rest of my room.

On my dresser…

Yes, those are real pumpkin stems!  Love it!

I just adore these mini pumpkins with the crystals.  They’re just precious!

I just find that they make the perfect romantic fall decor without being traditional colors or something you’d see in any store.  It’s truly something special!

I love this spot on my chaise lounge. We watch the sunset right out our windows and get to stare at all the tall trees and the horses running around.

Another way I like to make my bedroom cozy for fall and winter is to use faux fur or soft plush throw blankets and drape them on your chaise lounges or sitting chairs.  You can even add faux fur pieces over your benches and stools or bring in a faux fur rug to layer.  Also, bring out your slippers and if they coordinate with your room and are pretty, you can leave them out and not put them away.  They’ll add coziness to the ambiance.

As I finish this blog post, the sun is starting to set which means I get to light the candles and get on my pj’s and get cozy in bed.  Yay!  Oh how I love this time of year!

Thanks so much to Daria and make sure to contact Hot Skwash by Daria through the website and you can also follow her on Instagram to put together an order.  You will fall in LOVE with these pumpkins!  There is NOTHING like them out there.  The quality surpasses any others I’ve seen.  Tell her Summer sent you!

A huge thanks to Pom Pom At Home for collaborating on my master bedroom update for the fall and winter!  I’ll have these items linked below for your shopping convenience!

The post Master Bedroom Updates For Fall & Winter appeared first on Summer Adams.

A new year, a new vanity!  I’d been wanting a new vanity for a while but I’ve looked at so many different desks and vanities and haven’t found one I truly loved.  Or I should say, I hadn’t found one I loved that wasn’t way out of my price range.  Here is the vanity I had before.

In a blog post called Adding Glam To Your Boudoir, I shared that this vanity was a gift from my mother-in-law for Christmas when we were first married.  It was a vintage piece that had been in the family and I was thrilled to get it because I’d wanted a vanity.

I even shared it decorated with this beautiful swag and jeweled garland in my Christmas Bedroom Decor post a few weeks ago.

I loved it for years and was grateful for it.  I love things that have sentimental value.  However, it was little narrow and I wanted something a little more elegant and something I really loved.  I’d looked everywhere!  And then I found this beauty yesterday….

The best thing about finding it is that I wasn’t even looking. I was in a store looking for something completely different when I accidentally happened upon it.  Isn’t that how it happens?  The best surprises come when you’re least expecting them! Seeing it was like seeing my husband for the first time and thinking, “this is the one!” Ha!  Seriously though, I love it.

I love the french details and the vintage look of it.  The light grey goes perfectly with the rest of my room.

While the ivory and cream tones in my room might be warm and the greys and winter golds are cooler tones, I just love mixing them!  I like the depth it gives my room and how the difference in tones almost gives that feel that a “pop of color” gives a room.  It’s serene and calming and relaxing.

My vanity also compliments my vintage french provincial dresser (found on Craigslist) well and helps tie it in to the bedroom.

I actually brought home a beaded rectangle beveled mirror but to switch out as well and it was gorgeous.  However, it did not do this space, or desk, justice like the ornate ivory vintage one did.  So I took the mirror back and kept this one that I love so much.  I love french cottage furniture.  It’s so romantic and elegant and feminine.

I put back my jewelry display,

and I put back my perfume stand and jewelry dish,

and then threw my favorite Ruffle Throw Blanket from my online shoppe over my vintage vanity chair.  I’m actually looking for a different chair but I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet.  I’ll update my post when I do and let you all know.

The rest of the bedroom….

A few years ago we finally upgraded from a queen to king bed.  We thought we never wanted anything bigger than a queen but we wanted a new mattress and headboard anyway so we decided to take the leap.  WOW.  What were we thinking, waiting so long?

I picked an ivory tufted headboard with nailhead trim, a pin tuck duvet cover, some fabulous pillows, and a shimmery taupe quilt on the end.

I’ve wanted mirrored nightstands but I’m quite content with my large vintage nightstands for now so I chose a mirrored bench with linen tufting on top. I’m waiting till our next home (since this is temporary) to choose a different rug but this one works for now, since I no longer needed it downstairs, and brought a fun modern touch to this french-style room.

Often times, like this fall, I’ll switch out a throw blanket on the end of my bed.  This gorgeous, cozy chenille throw was a perfect choice for the winter when I’m sitting on my bed watching TV or working on my laptop.

I can’t believe I’m ACTUALLY sharing this picture but I want to show you that I have NOTHING on this side of the room.  I LOVE my bay windows and dupioni silk drapes.  I even painted an accent table to match my dresser.  BUT….I’m STILL looking for two PERFECT chairs for this room. I’m thinking linen arm chairs with either painted white trim or a natural wood finish, like the top of my new vanity.  There are many pairs I love but not at the right price.  I’ve also been scouring craigslist and Facebook marketplace for a vintage pair (at the right price) that I can makeover myself.  Crossing my fingers.  For now….this space is where we iron our clothing.

I found a vintage mirror (also painting it to match the accent table and dresser) and placed it above the left nightstand to add height because this master suite only has a window on one side of the bed.

It’s so strange and I was so annoyed by it BUT it absolutely works, balancing with something tall on that side.  I think we all have that “thing” about our homes that we wish we could change.  This would be one of them but it is what it is and the challenge is to make the best of it.

I love Oliver Gal canvas art, especially their chandelier prints.  This one is one of my favorites because it has the mixture of both light grey and gold AND it also has some blush tones used in the shadowing.  It’s the perfect hint of pink and compliments pink roses or peonies, whenever I pick them up at the market and bring them home.  My new chandelier is a “winter gold” so it’s not so warm and brassy and compliments the art perfectly.

I found these gorgeous, large, silver crushed velvet zebra pillows at ZGallerie and I love how they look on either side of the large ivory pillow in the middle that I found at Horchow. I had to throw in a long ruffle lumbar pillow.

I’m really enjoying my room and updated vanity. My dream would be to have this one (above) of Jennifer Lawrence’s,  from her home that she recently purchased from Jessica Simpson. But I still love it.

While the store I purchased the vanity/desk from doesn’t have an online store, nor did they share who makes the desk, I am linking a similar one below and similar pieces to help you recreate and part of this look or all of it.  Every girl should have a pretty space to sit and do her makeup and put on her favorite perfume! I’m also linking items from my bedroom for your shopping convenience.

The post Updated Vanity & Bedroom Tour appeared first on Summer Adams.

Hello there, gorgeous!  If you’re linking to my blog from my friend Tanya at The Blissful Lane, welcome!  I’m so thrilled you are here!  If you’re a regular visitor to my blog, I’m so delighted that you could join me again as I share some more of my home with you.  Today is a special occasion though because we’re not spending time in the kitchen or visiting my living room.  I am inviting you into my boudoir, or bedroom, to see how I use of few of my favorite pieces of jewelry and perfume to be displayed and double as decor by adding glam in this blog hop.

Over the years, I’ve been helping clients with interior styling in their home. I’ve also helped them with styling their wardrobe and re-organize their closets and dressing rooms.  One of the most common things I see, besides disorganization, is that they tuck away all their pretty accessories and perfume bottles into drawers and cabinets.

It’s such a shame!  Look how beautiful these perfume bottles are!  They were designed to be seen.  Your husband, or significant partner, isn’t the only one using this bedroom.  Make a feminine statement and add a touch of glam!  I’m not asking you to apply floral wallpaper, ha! Just personalizing a little more.

On my side of the room, just next to my nightstand, I have this lovely linen dress form from Pottery Barn Teen that I purchased years ago.  I bought one for my brick-and-mortar boutique and then loved it so much that I bought another one for my bedroom.  I add some of my favorite necklaces and switch them out from time to time.  A piece, like this sleeveless cardigan, is also a fun addition.  I may even add a belt or a scarf for fun.  Add a touch of glam by using things you already have.

There are so many fun ways to change it up.  One important rule though – make sure that the pieces you choose flow with the color palette of your room.  Remember, you’re not displaying all of your pieces. You’re just using a few of your favorites that can double as decor and add femininity to the space.

Even though I have a built-in vanity in my master bathroom, I love having a vanity in my room as well.  This piece is special because it is a family piece that my mother-in-law gifted to me years ago for Christmas.  On a girls’ trip long ago, I found this cute cake stand with crystals on it and knew I wanted to use it to display my perfumes.  It was the perfect addition.

Everything just looks better on a cake stand, don’t you think?  They’re not just for triple chocolate chip bundt cakes!

Apothecary jars are the PERFECT way to store strands of pretty pearls.  I have a lot of pearls.  Not all need to be displayed, just a few strands in one and some pearl bracelets in another.  A few weeks ago while spending an entire day antique shopping, I happened upon this vintage silver sugar urn.  I just knew what I wanted to use it for.  Any guesses?  My chapstick!  I love chapstick and apply it several times a day.  But instead of just tossing it on this vintage mirror tray, putting it in this small urn is so much prettier!  It’s another easy way to add that touch of glam to your boudoir.

Owning a boutique for over 9 years now and having been a girly-girl my entire life, I have a LOT of jewelry.  I have a dresser full of drawers and dividers to organize pieces by color and then hang a majority of my necklaces on a system in my closet.  For the pieces that I wear most days, like my rings and watch and a couple pairs of favorite earrings, I like to keep them on my vanity in these little dishes.  These two dishes are both gifts from friends and so that makes them extra special.

There’s no doubt when walking into this room that a woman lives here.  But it’s just enough glam and femininity without being overwhelming.  It’s classy.

I know I sound like a broken record in my household when telling everyone to put their things away where they belong each day.  But who says you can’t leave your handbag out if it looks so cute in your room and compliments the decor?

I’m pretty good about my nightly routine and getting ready for bed.  However, if coming home half-awake, I just want to take out my earrings or tear off my pearls and sink right into my bed and dream away.  It’s nice to have a little something pretty to put my lovely pieces in.

If you ask me, it looks like they’re meant to be there!

I hope you feel inspired to look through your pretty things and find a way to display some of your favorite pieces. Adding glam to your boudoir is simple and it’s fun. Thank you for joining me here and hope you come back soon! I would love it if you subscribed to my email list so that you’ll know when I’ve posted on my blog. It will also let you know when I have new items in My Shoppe or if there’s a sale!

I invite you to hop on over to the next blog, Moth Design, and find even more inspiration from Erica. I am loving the ideas shared today. Don’t forget to share these ideas on Facebook or pin them to Pinterest so that you have them whenever you go to decorate!
