apartment therapy

{a new headboard+vintage-inspired pink mirrors add depth to my once dull bedroom}

i took some time this past week to do a little fall cleaning & sprucing up of the apartment- adding new accents to the guest room and a few empty nooks and crannies.  it seems like decorating is an ongoing projects, and with every season a little touch-up is just what the doctor ordered… leaving the atmosphere fresh, clean & continuously inspiring…

hocus pocus

this week i finally got around to adding some halloween touches to the apartment… with my halloween cd on full blast {yes, one of those cheesy ones you buy at the supermarket} and the smell of pumpkin muffins fresh baked in the kitchen, i added the touch of halloween trees, some faux webs & sticky bats to bring some seasonal flair to my abode. with only a few short weeks left until my favorite holiday, i look forward to enjoying the eerie decor while i can…

baby sookie

hi dolls, sorry it’s been a while since my last post… lots has been going on this halloween season. including the addition of a new baby kitten to the family. i picked up my little persian kitty last friday… i’m not sure if its the time of year, or my true love for true blood, but i could not resist naming this little furball after the telepathic main character, miss sookie stackhouse.  she’s absolutely precious and has become instant friends {thank goodness} with henry dog.  i see adorable pictures of them cuddling up in the near future…

fall all around

{pumpkins & gourds welcome our guests}

loving the crisp chill of fall the way that i do, i have been ever so fortunate that this season our so-cal fall has, in fact, felt like fall… nonetheless, every so often we will have an unseasonably warm day, in which i delight in the fact that i have already transformed both my apartment & wardrobe into a fall haven… thus, despite the high 80′s & low 90′s we experienced the last few days, i was constantly reminded it is my favorite time of year by the presence of gourds, tiny pumpkins, festive candy & a rich fall color palette.

here are some snapshots of the things that keep me in the fall mood…
