Fall Living Room

I have gotten all of my house decorated for Fall now! I keep tweaking SOME things but it is mostly staying like it is. I LOVE my living room decorated for Fall! These are MY colors that make me feel SO comfortable. Hope you enjoy. I love when I come down the steps at any time of day and see this view! Our master is on the first floor but some nights I end up upstairs in the guest room cause SOMEONE snores VERY loudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLdhcwiGddQCZ8T970Aw4kYgIyZcMNDiv344P4JRU-u9pkw7LAxaLJ78eBIj_6tSotLRWzfoRaa5a7xnUGvP3ipH-XtLRRTdbbPLUr97bn-YtqTg49cD4EUyMWXrbajMF57yrFc_dsxRom/s1600/IMG_1827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLdhcwiGddQCZ8T970Aw4kYgIyZcMNDiv344P4JRU-u9pkw7LAxaLJ78eBIj_6tSotLRWzfoRaa5a7xnUGvP3ipH-XtLRRTdbbPLUr97bn-YtqTg49cD4EUyMWXrbajMF57yrFc_dsxRom/s1600/IMG_1827.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I LOVE adding touches of russet to the blue and white that is in here, it is so harmonius and perfect for Fall!!!

It may have taken me a while (I started in June and finished in...October) and I did have to <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/06/freshening-foyer-part-2.html" target="_blank">redo the entire stencil</a>, (sometimes I guess it pays to read the directions) but it <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/10/freshening-foyer-finale.html" target="_blank">turned out even better</a> than I had envisioned and now it's fresh and bright and a jolly little welcome to our little home.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXGtx8xWJdUnjeM27BScLDuL9_hnQjyx8z5kD16gbdktwpZJRLTivpC52uvsA1JufdJjXUv9zHBl93QtYduH0W9SqE_RVnEt_UwPLWrNwX8ssPoBpjGShlIikkuT6r98qOf_htii_E3dN/s1600/GreenStenciledEntryStarPendant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXGtx8xWJdUnjeM27BScLDuL9_hnQjyx8z5kD16gbdktwpZJRLTivpC52uvsA1JufdJjXUv9zHBl93QtYduH0W9SqE_RVnEt_UwPLWrNwX8ssPoBpjGShlIikkuT6r98qOf_htii_E3dN/s1600/GreenStenciledEntryStarPendant.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />2. <b>Sew something. Anything.</b> - Bam! I rocked this one like a hurricane for the <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/11/one-room-challenge-week-6-aka-reveal.html" target="_blank">One Room Challenge</a> in November. It is amazing what confidence a looming deadline will give you. I had just days to go before the big reveal and I was staring at a pile of fabric and no pillows, so I bit my lip and gave it a go. I will say that the intimidation factor is squarely on that damn machine. Actually sewing a pillow is pretty simple, its that blasted bobbin that gets me. Every. Time.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZO9M4Edjomp3yVGcTZY0PdLEsiIe2_0ummRWGnGm2s9nEscf5RNdrbAawQqah3ux0QULYHiTJ0lMBbwL5pOP-2rbqZ_z537D9eIG0_3MfQSph7DEOohNEEp-YGuAHE1yG7LvuSGwXPf4L/s1600/greensofafamilyroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZO9M4Edjomp3yVGcTZY0PdLEsiIe2_0ummRWGnGm2s9nEscf5RNdrbAawQqah3ux0QULYHiTJ0lMBbwL5pOP-2rbqZ_z537D9eIG0_3MfQSph7DEOohNEEp-YGuAHE1yG7LvuSGwXPf4L/s1600/greensofafamilyroom.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I even went ahead and made myself some pillows for my <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/05/now-i-can-lay-down-bedroom-reveal.html" target="_blank">bedroom</a> while I was at it.

This was one of my favorite projects of the year and I'm happy to say the room still looks largely the same - just with the addition of a thick layer of clothes, toys and naked barbies strewn on the floor.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizGB_rDSgM_dqtsCO2C5pJ9ABtkQzdPsxq_mVyKe-EZiK3nyckYhOq7R25ggtkkbW88MWJkm771OeBoTQEinGHIaBaoexKXqv5us-9FUb5Nw82-zqFVtQijZchhfi56icl-NgnZZiIOeq/s1600/GirlsRoomWideShot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizGB_rDSgM_dqtsCO2C5pJ9ABtkQzdPsxq_mVyKe-EZiK3nyckYhOq7R25ggtkkbW88MWJkm771OeBoTQEinGHIaBaoexKXqv5us-9FUb5Nw82-zqFVtQijZchhfi56icl-NgnZZiIOeq/s1600/GirlsRoomWideShot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />4. <b>Bathroom Redo.</b> This one is a mixed bag. Yes, I have updated the bathroom. Good homeowner. But I have yet to share the updates. Bad blogger. I did share a very small sneak peak a while back on <a href="http://instagram.com/littleblackdoor" target="_blank">Instagram</a> but that is it. For shame! I promise a full reveal before we hand out Valentine's.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9HLYRwWgfgMbcq0WHZHcV0vSL1_dTWCu-evsay_irAQ2hcMU4VbTdBuMIZVMhCv153QJr5ZhptHQh_Vb23sRJxUmXWb1-_FDwVPqNJQTO6bfLCP4so_72AtpEUck8S7jGmdiIrKsJoa4/s1600/bathroomrefresh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9HLYRwWgfgMbcq0WHZHcV0vSL1_dTWCu-evsay_irAQ2hcMU4VbTdBuMIZVMhCv153QJr5ZhptHQh_Vb23sRJxUmXWb1-_FDwVPqNJQTO6bfLCP4so_72AtpEUck8S7jGmdiIrKsJoa4/s1600/bathroomrefresh.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />5. <b>Open my little black door a little more.</b> I just realized how...interesting that line sounds. But anyway, it was about sharing more about other aspects of my work, my life, and just putting myself out there more. And I did work on this. I shared some client projects <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/04/before-and-after-farmhouse-kitchen.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/05/blue-and-orange-library-before-and-after.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/12/family-room-design-board.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I started a new series, <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/09/fess-up-friday-animal-prints.html" target="_blank">Fess Up Friday</a> and shared more of my crazy life on <a href="http://instagram.com/littleblackdoor" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, which I consider like a mini-blog of sorts. I have more plans and more work to do this year, so we will call this one 'under progress'.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-H9b_u06NAsWE_9Dq8EK5vHHjm_Ig1nACG2g6O4Kqr8M5TSAKUh3tNdDLfhlsEh-wrC_sXOQGWoRwxpJiesAHZpZ1rFh2Ub9qv6T7TnTqMWfomvPnaLq-GPkkztMYCWFYjjN-YZ3J-VX/s1600/ClientWork.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-H9b_u06NAsWE_9Dq8EK5vHHjm_Ig1nACG2g6O4Kqr8M5TSAKUh3tNdDLfhlsEh-wrC_sXOQGWoRwxpJiesAHZpZ1rFh2Ub9qv6T7TnTqMWfomvPnaLq-GPkkztMYCWFYjjN-YZ3J-VX/s1600/ClientWork.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />So all in all, not so bad for old Elizabeth. And I'll tell you, this has gotten me motivated for 2014. I'm ready to get working! And I'll share those plans tomorrow.<br /><br />So how about you? How did you do with last years goals? Do you make any years goals for yourself, your business, your home?

So we can't get started on the new year without seeing how I did last year, right? It's always fun to see if your December 2013 self...

i've got my sources

One of the best parts about the <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/p/one-room-challenge.html" target="_blank">ORC</a> is hearing everyones comments. It is so interesting what people notice and what sparks their interest. I've had several source requests so I thought I'd lay it all out nice and neat, just like this room was - for about an hour. I am happy to report it is now perfectly trashed, and will probably stay that way for the foreseeable future. Also, the sun finally came out so I got some more true-to-life pictures.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiefdTD0z76s3dQ-ztNIkUJ1RNxwYTTn7lXX5THU9d6TTMBJPd0SZdWE3ZgQXBsGFcyWkHr7hpdK9Sf9sDp4cg7qNv_yuDMxiXLYmIqdCfsNv734Rb8B9R1B_X_RZfVZ6WldYcfaSZ1JnDN/s1600/familyroomfinal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiefdTD0z76s3dQ-ztNIkUJ1RNxwYTTn7lXX5THU9d6TTMBJPd0SZdWE3ZgQXBsGFcyWkHr7hpdK9Sf9sDp4cg7qNv_yuDMxiXLYmIqdCfsNv734Rb8B9R1B_X_RZfVZ6WldYcfaSZ1JnDN/s640/familyroomfinal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The rug towards the front of the room is an outdoor rug from <a href="http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Saddlestitch_All-Weather_Area_Rug/840/" target="_blank">Home Decorators</a> and I love it.

i'm in HGTV magazine, let's celebrate with pillows!

A few months ago I was sitting on the beach, sipping a cocktail (no lie) and watching my girls giggle in the sand. Life couldn't get any better. And then my phone beeped and I saw an email from HGTV magazine. What the what?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnycG6zgPSZSt0SLJiT1meq2EOteLNjOffSZJDo5NpOUV8adEIIqdnCiu0vdSAtXtsTzvtdhWHgyjroEVFS5oU7HJg3s4qe3feQ4VKbxAFMGJ3LEppxCiXOnWby2AP9gB0HkS658A3lQjK/s1600/HGTVMagazineFeatureNov2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnycG6zgPSZSt0SLJiT1meq2EOteLNjOffSZJDo5NpOUV8adEIIqdnCiu0vdSAtXtsTzvtdhWHgyjroEVFS5oU7HJg3s4qe3feQ4VKbxAFMGJ3LEppxCiXOnWby2AP9gB0HkS658A3lQjK/s400/HGTVMagazineFeatureNov2013.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><br />I am over the moon to be featured in their "WOW!

Continuing the Tour, The Front of the House Decorated for Fall

I have shown you the foyer so I better show you the front of the house before we proceed to other spots!  I know this may change some but right now ths is how the front of the house looks, decorated for FALL!!! Fall is my favorite time of year. Yes, I LOVE summer and now that we live here, I LOVE having the pool to go to. But Fall brings so many things I love: hot cider, football, cozy throws, pumpkin anything, comfort food, I could go on and on!!!! So here are a few shots of the front of my house.
