I don't know what it is about the changing of the seasons that makes me want to nest and revamp. You too? In the fall, I gravitate towards cozy things like velvet, the warmth of gold and a little bit of fun to lighten things up! So, I thought I would find some fabulous and lovely things to inspire you for the fall and beyond. I hope you enjoy! — Melissa from Melissa Loves
I do love a gold objet d'art! And though there haven't been many a deer in these parts of late, this sweet little golden fawn has me thinking of a stroll in the woods on a crisp fall day.
This drawing is a pretty and graphic reminder of warm and cozy drinks in the cooler weather. Plus I love that yellow. (It would be so pretty with the gray couch and blue pillow.)
The texture and color of this pendant reminds me of the walls of a barn or an old wood plank floor. Nothing cold about it, and three of them would be so pretty over a kitchen workspace.
I love scents in a home. I know not everyone agrees, but I love to light candles to add a warm glow to the room or a beautiful scent to the scene. This "scented oval" by Diptyque is to be put in a closet or a drawer, but I bet you could put it anywhere and be happy.
I love the illustration on this lampshade; it's modern but like something our of a book about fairy tales. It would be so pretty hanging above a side table next to that handsome gray couch.
Can't you see a big bowl of oatmeal or cereal in this sweet bee bowl? A cup of tea or coffee beside it and you are off to a great start in the morning! I love handmade bowls with whimsical designs and an unfinished appearance to the glaze — so warm and so lovely.
Who couldn't use a larger-than-life wooden horse on a wall in their home? It could point you in the right direction or add some much needed character to a space.
Did someone say "fun?!" I did! This little guy is sure to make you happy every time you see him on your counter or use him to open your favorite bottle of wine.
And while you are drinking that glass of wine or reading that book (perhaps by a cozy fire?) you can rest your feet on this sweet pouf. I love the bright, cheerful colors. It's unexpected but totally sweet.
I love all the things from my childhood that are coming back in force this year, like friendship bracelets and dream catchers. This simple, rustic one would be so pretty hanging next to the round mirror above.
I have visions of beautiful bookcases dancing in my head... with beautiful, colorful books and lots of pale and pretty accessories. These porcelain "books" would be a great place to start.
Laura Gaskill Oh, my my! I saw that gray table at Ikea last week and wanted it, it's really cute! Plus the gold deer and velvet pillows are screaming out to me. Really nice finds, Melis! xo Laura
