~autumn inspiration & an etsy update~

Happy Saturday everyone!

What a beautiful fall day here
in the Pacific NW!

clear blue skies....and the air is soooo fresh,
lovely......

I found these pics & thought they
were perfect for a little fall inspiration~


I love the hydrangeas mixed with the branch...
and what is it with the old books with the
covers torn off....that we all love so much??

I have been quite neglectful & not doing
that yet?  Any of you need to confess as well??
;)


the mixture of weathered wood,
with neutrals is so nice ~
it really warms up a space....


this is an interesting little vignette,
an egg, a pitcher, a snail & a french postcard!

loving the little succulent in the silver cup


the lighting in this shot is gorgeous ~
love the light streaming thru the window.

How about the eclectic mix of chairs in the dining
room?

they make it look so effortless!

a few must haves...sisal...painted floors...
*cough cough*


and I'm completely addicted to the idea
of painted wood walls as well!

I would seriously put wood up on every wall
in our home if I could!!


more natural wood & neutrals...
yummmmmy...

now here's another slight obsession...
bleached/pickled floors....
don't they look fantastic??


and how I would LOVE to find french
doors like these! wow!

Their bedroom is also quite amazing.
the little touch of grey is just right~



I don't know much about this home other
than it's the Hoopwood House, in the
Inside Living magazine...but I'm pretty
sure I'd be content movin' right in.....
what about you?

love the cute little burlap or linen
valance....I might try that in our room....
just a little burlap adds a lot of warmth
& texture to a room, don't ya' think??


and speaking of burlap.....
I've been playing in it....
a lot....

here's what I came up with while
playing....

a little somethin for your halloween
and fall decor....

available now in The Linen Shoppe








so take a peek if you like....:)

Enjoy your weekend friends!!

Hey Shellagh,
I'm completely jealous of your 'Fall' weather. I just have to turn my AC down and pretend. I love the colors of fall as well....it's the only time that the color orange can live in my home! The white pumpkins aren't down here yet, but I have one that made it through from last year, and bought some bittersweet vine from an Etsy shop.

Your new pillows are very nice...like 'em a lot! I hope to feel up to sewing next week...I've changed my plan again!

Have a great weekend,
Susie

Hi Shellagh!

As I am snuggling in with your pillow, (which I love), resting my tired head I am thinking of how refreshing those bedrooms look up above. It's inspiring me to paint some furniture. Beautiful burlap work. You're very talented! ;)Alyssa

Hi Shellagh,
Thank you for the fall inspiration, because I am not :(
I look around and say what am I going to do with October and November? I am almost certain I will skip it and move right onto Christmas :)
Unless somethink comes along like your great post.
I loved evey bit of it, the rooms inspire the feeling I have so I took great notice to this posting.

Love your pillows in burlap, I too have my latest post with a burlap pillow I made but did not talk about it :) just placed it for part of the story the photo tells.
love the inspiration.
sending it off to a friend in Utah!

HOW the heck
you have time to
find these gorgeous
inspiration pics is
beyond me, but I'm
soooo grateful that
you share them with
us!! I have plenty
of dried hydrangea
in the yard and will

first look. Love your
new pillow slips, too!
Your business must be
booming : )?!
