I’m sure there are many people out there living alone or with one or two other people that don’t need a huge, huge dining table, yet they need the option for one when entertaining. Isn’t that what leaves are for? Are those table inserts still even called leaves? Or a leaf? Ah, whatever!

The point of the matter is that this adorable little TAble is actually two TAbles in one. Perfect for small spaces and those that only require a small table for everyday use, the TAble has a way more stylish and more modern way to extend itself than with those wooden leaf extension things. I love it!

TAble is designed by Elda Bellone Studio.

Would you be able to live in a home with a room decorated completely in one color? Or is it just a look that you love but would never consider replicating?

I think I fall in the second category. I love the idea of a monochromatic room – it would be far less daunting to decorate, I think. Kind of like an “anything goes” approach – as long as all of your anythings are the same color!

While I love the idea of keeping the floors and the walls similar colors, I love the red room with bright white walls decorated in only red wall fixtures. And the red floors with layered red carpets. Now that’s fun.

But could I live with it? Maybe I could… What about you? The real question is – what color would you choose to do an entire room in? Of course I love the pink, but my boyfriend probably wouldn’t!

Hello and happy Fall Friday! Does anyone have a fun weekend planned?

Since I have come down with a nasty cold, I’ll be spending the weekend on my couch – wishing my couch was this awesome Cupcake sofa shown above!

Hopefully, I’ll have enough energy by Sunday to make this Braised Pork as previously planned!

I may waste all that energy convincing my boyfriend to buy me one of these faux beauties.

Anyway, wouldn’t you love to stay in this beautiful home with rooms decorated in Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel? You’ve gotta check it out!

If you have a scarf addiction, here’s a great way to store them.

And finally, a fun paper mache DIY for you to try.

Halloween is creeping up on us, so it’s time to start thinking about what fun things we can make in the next week. So today’s recipe radar focuses on some deliciously eerie Halloween treats to keep on your radar!

Do you have trouble eating any of these spooky treats? Some of the recipes I saw really grossed me out – even though I knew they were completely edible! Well anyway, what are you making this Halloween?

How cute is this entertaining idea from Better Homes and Gardens? Add some fall festivity to the table by serving snacks in the gourds, rather than surrounded by them! I love the detail it adds to the table.

Wouldn’t it be even more fun to make a fall soup and serve it to each guest in one of those gourds? Or to get even more creative, I would serve a dip in the cut-out gourd and then do the same thing to a large pumpkin, line it with saran wrap and use it as a chip bowl. And then use the pumpkin bowl for Halloween candy. And just as I was wondering how a hollow pumpkin would work as a punch bowl… I found one on Pinterest, also from Better Homes and Gardens!

I love these festive ideas – and how relatively simple they are to make!

What other ideas do you have for hollow pumpkins and gourds?

Since it’s almost Halloween, I thought some orange home decor would be appropriate. Even though I really can’t stomach the thought of too much orange in my life, I know there are plenty of people that absolutely LOVE the color orange!

The first image above is a living room with orange walls. The room has lots of light and the orange is a bright, happy addition. How about orange furniture, as seen in the next two images? A matching orange sofa and chair are the focal point of this otherwise neutral living room, and an orange headboard is perfectly accented with white and orange bedding.

Finally, why not entertain in orange? This bright tabletop can make anyone happy with its vibrant linens and colorful flowers. Although these spaces are not Halloween-related, they make the perfect foundations for Fall and Halloween decor!

How have you implemented orange into your decor?
