Below you will find the gorgeous inspiration and then our “Get the Look” ideas. We think either would be a lovely place to enjoy leisurely morning coffee chat with friends.  What do you think?

We felt inspired by the colors {and smells} of the season to bring you our first “fall must haves” style guide. We wanted to focus on ways you could incorporate the colors of the season into your home.  By accessorizing with pop color items you can bring these yummy colors into your home and then change it up next season!

What will you incorporate into your home this season to bring in the beauty of the outdoors?

Style Guide

Lemon Orchard Serving Bowl and Platter – We liked this because of its relaxed and whimsical nature.

Amber Tumblers – A nod to the antique depression glass that reminds us of our grandmothers!

Rust Woven Placemat – We love to use placemats as runners down the middle of the table.  More cost effective than tablecloths and show off your beautiful table!

Banana Bark Napkin Ring – A natural material put to good use.  Improvise with twine or raffia for a similar look or for a party!

Paper Pretender Dishes – Echoing the fluted edges of paper plates, these dishes bring that picnic feel indoors.

Promenade Flatware – Simple and classic lines make this an ideal flatware pattern to compliment the more detailed items on the table.
