When time is short, you can still do some quick decor around the house that really creates the mood! Use what you have around the house already and just add a pumpkin and something fun that represents Halloween. I had these metallic candle holders here in my home from Yankee Candle and they added to this easy grouping of a pumpkin and adorable witches potion bottle from Pier One. And, if you like the banquette seating behind my table, that's from Ballard Designs.

In the center of the fireplace are these gorgeous Scottish Law books, which I purchased from a used book store. They create the perfect authentic feel and add a sophisticated look on the mantle. My pedestal stands are from Grandin Road, the black color adds a bit of sophistication and the staggered heights provide great interest. The pumpkins sitting on top of these stands are from Pier One, as is the white velvet pumpkin that I added to bring a bit of glam into the scene. The art plaque hanging above the fireplace mantel is the Smithhouse Indoor/Outdoor Medallion from Ballard Designs.

Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future. While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.

To anchor a modern house, designed by Frederick Fisher & Partners, Campion Walker brought in a mature oak grove that at first frames the home and then invites the visitor to explore the grounds including an intimate culinary garden and stone fruit orchard. The neglected hillside on the back of the property once overgrown with ivy was transformed into a California native oak woodland, with under-planting of ceanothus and manzanitas. We used recycled water to create a dramatic water feature cut directly into the limestone entranceway framed by a cacti and succulent garden.

My client' s table runner is one she's used for many years. All of the items used on this tablescape were gathered from around her home using her existing fall decor. Combined all together on the table runner they make a eye catching display!
