De-Summer-izing the House

Hello everyone!

 

I hope everyone who has been in the path of Hurricane Issac is doing OK.  It has been sad to see all the flooding and property damage caused by it so far.  We were spared the wind and torrential rains that were originally thought to come our way, but have been left with hot, humid, sticky weather now.  Yuck!

 

Now that September is near, I decided it was time to part with some of my summer flowers in the house.  I moved a few things around (nothing new, right?) and pulled out some more masculine accents to de-summer-ize my house.  That's my own made-up word.  Ha!

 

I'm still expecting a few things that I ordered, so things may change again after they arrive, but here is what I've done so far. 

 

 

 

 

I painted my blue wire basket, black! 

 



 

I have a different pillow planned for this chair after it arrives. I will place this one in another spot.

 

 

 

I just received this new jute pouf from Joss & Main!  Lordy, it was bigger than I thought.  I didn't use it where I was originally planning.  So it ended up here. 

 

 

I know.....here is the kitchen.....again!  This is my LAST change!  I moved my black vintage stool to the end of the cabinet and I'll show you a few other changes I did in this room soon. 

 

Hint..... 

If you look v.e.r.y closely you can see a clamp light on my curtain rod.  Yep!  Love how it looks at night.  More on that soon.



 



 

So, basically, if you haven't been able to figure it out by now,  I've been adding more pops of black in my decor.  This should help warm up the spaces for the cooler months coming.

 

Are you making changes with your decor (other than Fall decorations) to prepare for cooler months?

 

Thanks for stopping by!
