Falling for Fall-ish Interiors

I’m one of those people that always dreads the onset of the cold winter months – short days, long nights and freezing temperatures don’t rank very high on my list of awesome things.  However, now that there’s a little nip in the air here in Dallas (at night, at least), I’m actually finding myself looking forward to snuggling up in front of the fire under a blanket while sipping hot chocolate.  (Actually, that’s already happened, minus the hot chocolate partAnd we turned on the heater the other night – let me tell you, we are wild and crazy around here.)

Maybe because of the impending chilly nights, these days I’m really loving rooms with deep, warm browns, rich pumpkin tones and lots of crisp white.  Something about that color combination just feels cozy to me.

What do you think – does that feel cozy to you, or is all that white too stark?  Are you a cold weather hater like me, or are you counting the days until the first snowfall?  And are there any color combos that are inspiring you these days?

Neutral Territory

When it comes to neutrals, I’ve always been more on the tan side of the fence than the gray side.  In fact, I’ve never decorated with gray in my own home – weird, huh?

Well, I’m thinking about changing that but I’m not sure I want to take the plunge yet.  The room that I’m thinking of playing around with {my office} has beige carpet . . . and I’ve always kind of thought that gray & tan aren’t friends, that they’re kinda like oil and water.  But lately I’ve come across oodles of spaces that feature this {somewhat} unlikely pair and do you know what?  I like it!

{Wouldn’t it be so much more designer-y if I called these colors something like smoke and cream, or mist and almond?  Oh well.}

Most of the interiors I’ve been finding use gray & tan in a soothing, relaxing manner with breezy curtains and nailhead trim – absolutely gorgeous.  And while I love that look, let’s face it – I need some serious color.

Here’s a sampling of the more fun & funky gray/tan combos that I’ve found so far:

Feeling Blue . . . & Green

When I was sourcing accessories for a recent Design Consultation I kept falling in love with pillows and other goodies in cobalt blue, crisp white and citrusy green.  Something about that color combination feels so fresh and preppy and fun, don’t you think?

Even though I’m in love with the turquoise & orange combo I have going on in my living room, there’s a big part of me that’s wanting to chuck it all and start over with some goodies like these:
