September 2017

I'm so lucky to have Michele as a friend.....she inspires me with her calm aura.....and even though it may seem like we are complete opposites....she is blonde and beautiful with a romantic sense about her and I'm all masculine and clumsy.....we've been connecting online for years! She is going to share some fall inspiration with you today while I did the same for her readers......

Happy Fall, Design Indulgence fans!

I'm Michele, author of the decor inspiration blog

Hello Lovely, and I'm pumped (see what I did there?)

to bring you pumpkin spice-inspired fall

inspiration as a guest of my friend, Sherry.

It's easy to admire the organic, lovely,

and fresh approach with which Sherry

infuses her designs, and how they sing with an

under-baked and cozy-without-clutter vibe

(yep, I sure did steal "underbaked" from Tom Scheerer).

Sherry is young at heart, and the resultant

buoyancy of spirit illumines her beautiful work.

Much of the interior design inspiration

I share on Hello Lovely features muted,

quiet neutrals, but I appreciate how

luscious, luminous color, like

pumpkin spice orange,

breathes with life, energy, and warmth.

Let's peek at inspiring design accented with

varying shades of this comforting autumnal hue,

and maybe you will decide your own decorating scheme

can be enlivened with a subtle dose of pumpkin spice.

Can't stop staring at the demilune and curtains above,

and the space below? So chic it hurts.

You know that Thoreau quote "I'd rather have

a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be

crowded on a velvet cushion?"

Isn't a pumpkin-spice-hued velvet cushion...like,

the wisest compromise that solves everything?

I created the edgy, urban, raw painting below,

and Melissa James placed it in a sitting area

with a pumpkin-spice Midcentury chair.

(That's Flossie in the pic...a rescue all the way

from Claire Lloyd in Greece.)

Do you like the suggestion of pumpkin spice

which a richly patina-ed wood can add?

Thanks Michele! I feel all cozy now until I walk outside and it is a 1000 degrees and I start cussing:)

Hello Lovely

Y'all it is still so hot here....90 degrees. I had a keratin treatment about 6 weeks ago and now my hair is a hot mess again.....but I feel kind of like a chump complaining about hair when there are people without homes in Texas and Puerto Rico.

So sad.

I hope some of you have had a chance to get to the Serenbe Showhouse. I know you enjoyed the last group of pictures so I am here to serve with more!

This gorgeous space by Elizabeth Ferguson

You guys know this room spoke to me with the neutrals, texture and eclectic feel.

This beautiful space was designed by Jena Salmon who actually picked out all the elements of both homes meaning tile, fixtures, and kitchens and baths.
