It's Fall!

It’s September and that means fall leaves, cooler weather and pumpkins. Fall is my favorite season and while it will be a few more weeks before our weather actually looks and feels like Fall, I can't wait to decorate my home and garden.

There's so much to look forward to in fall: cozy sweaters, falling leaves, savory meals, and — of course — all things apple.

...and I add vibrant fall colors and warmth to the coziest place in my house - my kitchen, with my hand-made kitchen towels.

Love for Wine, Wine Art and Gifts

Remember the line from Maya, the character from the film Sideways as she was describing why she loved wine to Miles:  "it tastes so f---ing good!"  

Like Maya, I love drinking wine.

Wine with peaches

Often, I imagine myself traveling along private vineyard lanes in a sidecar similar to this one mixing great wine, fantastic food and scenic locations.  

When I snap back to reality, I settle for wine décor and crafting wine themed gifts.

Wine Wall Art
This wall art in my kitchen brings warmth and magical memories....besides it makes a great conversation piece.

Home-cooked food and a glass of good wine seems to be more enjoyable when surrounded with great company and beautiful wall décor.

Polka Dots and Citrus Decor in the Kitchen

Polka dots are cheerful and Citrus bring sunshine.  They both work well in a wide range of interiors from modern to traditional to eclectic spaces.

Deco dot with citrus twist

Citrus make everything smell fresh and clean.  They’re a great choice for kitchen décor!

Thinking of giving your kitchen a refreshing summer look? Few colors bring the perfect balance between sophistication and elegance like gray and yellow...especially with stainless steel appliances.

CREATIVITY!

“In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude.
 One must overcome the fear of being alone.”  Rollo May
