Theme Design: Purple and Gold color combination!

Purple and Gold is a gorgeous combination. The colors compliment each other beautifully and adds a royal touch. Purple and Gold accessories can add instant sophistication to any room. Combined with rich textures of silk and satin it looks absolutely stunning.

Use a hint of Purple-Gold in upholstery, or paint the wall in purple shades. Wall paper in gold and purple can add a glamour quotient to any space. This is a very popular color combination, and is totally worth a consideration.

 Beautiful Moroccan style bedroom in Purple and Gold. Exotic fabric and floral motif looks absolutely regal. This color combination specially suits exotic themed decoration.

Beautiful pastel lilac wall looks absolutely gorgeous with an addition of few mirrors in antique gold. A sure way to add a bit of elegance, use spray paint for a budget makeover!

Diy Tip: Scout for ornate picture frames in any color, spray dull gold and pop a mirror into it.

A fantastic wall paper can be the best investment! Even with a few tasteful pieces of furniture it can look expensive. A very vintage glam styling that's absolutely fabulous.

Mixing texture and finish is a good way to add interest to any corner. A distressed industrial style table with delicate satin shade table lamp and a retro plastic woven chair. What a treat!

A striking gold ornate bed set acquire the focal attention. Burnished gold is so regal, it is complimented perfectly by the velvet purple. Definitely a few notch above simple living!

Combination of gray, purple and golden yellow is so unusual. This tastefully done living room is cozy, vibrant and very polished. Bits of flowery print compliments the striped wall paper. Love!

Bright intricate purple Moroccan style tiles for the bathroom. Don't limit this amazing color combination to only the rooms, even bath can look absolutely stunning!

A classic appeal with twist! Lovely beige walls lets the purple cabinets take center stage. Beautiful brass knobs and vintage kitschy furniture. This kitchen is made for laughter and memories!

Thanksgiving Centerpieces and Wreath: Go Natural!!

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away! With so much to plan for the Thanksgiving dinner, let me help with the decoration :) Go natural and find inspiration in the selection here to help create you very own personalized centerpiece and wreath. Crafting is a great stress buster and will enjoy the simple pleasure of creating and display.

There are different levels of difficulty but with even a few hours you can make a gorgeous table setting or a simple center piece. Hope you find some inspiration here!

Carve a pumpkin to look like a basket, insert a bowl, place a flower foam. Add flowers and candles, some berries and leaves, done! Its a simple but beautiful craft idea.

Next trip to the farmer's market look for colorful corns. A vintage wire basket, scented pine cones and a bunch of corn is all you would need. Finish with a broad gingham ribbon for a cottage chic appeal!

Fill an egg basket with wheat sheaf. Lay some corn and you have an all natural centerpiece for Thanksgiving table setting. Color coordinate for a more sophisticate look.

This looks like a vase/pot or small bird bath, but use your imagination! Fill some gravel/pebbles, add a few branches of red berry, fall leaves and small thank you notes for the family.

Love this Martha Stewart craft. Corn husk wrapped around dollar store votive and ribbons. Natural texture of husk and soft rose petals together is so unique. Frugal and fun!

Fill tall votive with wild rice or any gains. Add some dry branches, hang string tied small pumpkins. Place them in a mix of pine cones, red berries, pumpkins and moss pebbles. Prettiness!

A simpler version, pillar candles in traditional fall colors, decorative branches/vines, pumpkins and berries. Autumn leaves on the napkins looks absolutely in sync too.

Wheat sheaf look so pretty by themselves. For a minimalistic uber chic look put hem in tapered vase and add color coordinated pillar candles. Sometimes less is more!

A simple table runner decorated with lovely fall elements. A basic candle stand flanked by leaves and fruits. Remember some bold additions can elevate the entire look.

If you have absolutely no time to create or are in a hurry, even a small posy of wild flowers can cheer up the decor. Natural rustic is also a coveted style. Sweet surprise :)

Amazing wreath made of succulents! A mesh cone, fill it with fine gravel and planting medium. Add small succulents and plants. This should thrive the season and plant them in soil when they grow big.

A vintage inspired chicken coop wire and old frame wreath. Staple a piece of wire mesh to an wooden frame. There are so many possibilities, memo card holder, display holiday cards, or earrings holder. Love!

Home Tour: Dining Room

Hello! :)  I am continuing on with my Home Tour! 

Today, I am sharing my dining room with you.

I like how my dining room looks.  I think it feels light, clean, and inviting!!

And it's SIMPLE!!!

I don't keep much too much in here and I like it that way.

I made the curtains, I bought the white table cloth and napkins at Target.  And everything else in the room in from my Mother-in-Law or from a garage sale.

I love these photos that we took in Florida.  I showed you how I hung these photos with command strips here.

I will be honest here and say that we never eat in here.  I do think we even need this room so I have some other ideas.

What is your dining room like?

Do you eat in there?

Do you use your dining room for a different use?

Have a great day,

Theme Inspiration: Gothic Decoration!

Gothic decoration is unique and packs a lot of impact! If you love trying edgy and a bit of drama in your decor, this surely is worth consideration. There are so many interpretation, from architecture to color schemes, unique features and a sense of mystery. This is my interpretation of this stunning theme decor.

Surely Halloween has put me in the mood to explore Gothic too, but my understanding is very limited. Enjoy these unusual delights!

The pointed arch is one of the most important characteristic of Gothic architecture. The canopy bed and the spartan bedroom in black and white is surely evocative!

Amazed by this installation. Every day objects come together on shelves to create this interesting skull design!

via James Hopkins

Black and amethyst are a good combination for Gothic decor. A stylish decor, with just the perfect dose of romance and mystery. Candles and candlesticks are perfect choice for accessory.

Gorgeous decor here. The matte black is an amazing backdrop and the hint of purple is the perfect color for this modern Gothic decor. Love the ledge and b&w pictures!

A good idea for makeover! Find an interesting bureau and paint it black (surface damage no problem!) use a decal or simply trace a Goth design and paint it metallic.

Add a new twist, how about glow in the dark paint..wow!

via Jimmie Martins Ltd.

Wood is a good choice when looking at Gothic features. Make it a little more interesting, add mosaic mirror to the staircase. Its eerie and creative at the same time :o)

via Apartment Therapy

Purple and black is popular color combination. This Christmas decor is so unique as its part Gothic with so many elements of Gothic decoration. Very enticing!

via HouseofFraser 2010

Gothic is not just black and ornate, it is stunning and stylish! The simple addition of pointed arc glass accent adds a subtle touch of Gothic. So chic and elegant.

This might not be the perfect Goth decor, but its black and teal walls are so visually striking! The ornate fireplace and black furniture add to the mysterious appeal!

Cute black bird for Halloween and Gothic decor. An easy craft, bunch of black craft paper and some time is all you need. Adorable!

via Etsy

And as always, add a touch of this interesting decor to your life! what an idea, the whole setup is so funky and dramatic. Imagine a holiday red punch for Halloween maybe?! ;)
