Four Favorites – Halloween Edition 2015

Posted on October 28, 2015 by lasalledesignblog

Can you believe Halloween is only a few short days away?!

For today’s Four Favorites post I wanted to feature Halloween décor that I think is absolutely adorable. There’s still time to run out and grab some cute clearance items.

Personally, I have never been into super spooky Halloween décor or even costumes. So usually I don’t go big on Halloween specific decorations. These are just too fun not too share!

1) Sticky Pumpkin Face Kit – Paper Source

A super cute alternative to pumpkin carving and a great way to decorate smaller pumpkins

2) Halloween Luminaries – World Market

I could see these being a great addition to a front porch or front walk.

3) Mummy Owl – World Market

World Market has several mummy animals right now but I think this little owl might be the cutest. What a cute/not too scary accent!

4) Candy Corn Garland Kit – Paper Source

This could be a fun activity with kiddos to use on the mantel or above the front door for trick-or-treaters.

So bust out a fun bowl of treats and have a very Happy Halloween this weekend!

Four Favorites – 4th Edition

Posted on June 19, 2015 by lasalledesignblog

Hi There!

Checking in this week with another Four Favorites post. I’ve been out of commission posting while the plumbing in our townhome was being replaced. The work was completed late last week and we are putting things back together slowly but surely.

I am certainly ready to get back to a few DIY projects I’ve had in mind and am excited to share them with you soon.

Here are some items that have caught my fancy over the past few weeks.

1) Pierced Porcelain Tealights, 2) Amaryllis Measuring Cups, 3) Monogrammed Garland Ring Dish, 4) Retro Magnetic Timer

More on some DIY projects in the works and our deck décor early next week.

Four Favorites – 3rd Edition

Posted on May 15, 2015 by lasalledesignblog

It’s beginning to feel like we’ve been transplanted in the Pacific Northwest this week… rain, rain and more rain with no end in sight! Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful not to be having a drought similar to the one we had about 4 years ago. And yet, this wet weather has me daydreaming in cool tones… blues, aquas, and greens.

This week’s Four Favorites post is the joyful product of my imaginings:

Frosted Doily Plates, Glass Knots, Boxwood Trees & Wafture Planters

I love this lace/vintage inspired dinnerware at Anthropologie. It’s a funky fresh way to infuse color into a spring or summer tablescape. Next, West Elm’s glass knot is a elegant and contemporary accessory addition. It comes in a variety of colors, but I am drawn to the teal.

One of my favorite additions to any space is greenery. Whether real or faux, it brings an organic and natural touch to any space. When using faux greenery, quality is paramount. Cheap greenery looks like exactly that. These boxwoods would be optimal for year round use. Last, these Wafture planters remind me of two beautiful thrift store/estate sale finds I’ve snatched up lately.

Chinoiserie accents are a fabulous way to incorporate eclectic yet timeless items into a space.

Four Favorites – 2nd Edition

Posted on March 31, 2015 by lasalledesignblog

Here in the lone star state spring has officially sprung. This past weekend was one of the most glorious stretches of beautiful weather we have seen in a long time. Our days were spent with activities like kite flying, running errands and soaking up as much sun and fresh air as possible!

Today, I’m continuing the Four Favorites series that I started a few weeks ago. I find myself in a bit of a golden mood this week and in that spirit here are a few of my favorite articles of gold/brass merchandise.

1) Gold Foil Notecards, 2) Gilded Globe, 3) Marble Table Lamp, 4) Bestiary Pencil Holder

Somehow I managed to pick items that could all be used to create a stylish desk top. Although my workspace is more or less complete, which of these pieces would you like to supplement to your desk?

Ever have a week where you wish you could just curl up in bed and read a good book? For me, this is one of them.
It’s been fairly blah thus far between the time change, rainy days and cloudy skies.

Nevertheless, I did some web surfing/shopping over the past few days to get me out of this funk and here are four of my favorite things right now:
