Fabulous Fridays: Get in the Halloween Decorating Spirit

Halloween is round the bend! Spooky spooky! What a fun time of year. I am telling you, I think starting about now is probably my favorite time of year. No more summer vacations for me, so I just uped this to my favorite time of year spot. I’m a huge fan of fun and creative décor for Halloween. A little creepy and a little creative touch around your home to honor this time of year is awesome.  I am super into the funny and spooky part of the Halloween. The sexually oppressed part where people want to express themselves one day that year, not so much. Hopefully one day, the ladies and gents will leave their Little Bo Peep delicates in the closet.J Here are a few home decorating inpspirations for your home. Enjoy!

WHalloween fun factW
So back in the day, Pagans used to burn jack-o-lanterns on Samhain to ward off evil spirits. Samhain, being on the night of the 31 of October. Not to name names, but cultures, religions plunked other holidays, such as Halloween on top of Pagan holidays to crowd out and overshadow Pagan celebrations. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas and Halloween, but come on dudes, that’s mean. Anyways, if you are interested in a little history of the jack-o-lantern, Better Homes and Gardens has a very interesting (and short) article.

Cozy-Glamorous Living Rooms: The Best Kind

There is nothing I love more than cozy and glamorous. Do I want it both ways? Yes I do. And these living rooms are proof that you can have a fun and glam room, but at the same time kick up your feet in sweats. Or whatever you like to kick up your feet in. I have to say bright colors and sparkles do it for me every time. Of course, white rooms are lovely when done right (a little touch of gold, please!). JThese little dollops of gorgeousness make for some pretty glamorous and cozy rooms! Don't you think?

If you don’t want to invest in a zebra couch, but want to try the print, I love the idea of getting zebra table clothes! What a cool idea. Perfect for your sassy side.J

Fall Colors: Falling for Red

Aaah the lovely red room. Not to be confused with red rum.J Ok, tasteless joke out of the way! You know, I have not seen too many red rooms in person, and I do not know why! Look at these beauties! Red is beautiful and vibrant, and appears to make any home look fab. Red seems to amp up the energy and vibrancy of a room, if you ask me. I think everyone needs a red room in their home, at one point in life, at the very least. Enjoy!

Red represents the fire element in Feng Shui. Fire brings high energy into the home. It’s a good color to use for forging your career ahead and making a good reputation for yourself. Red is also a great color for the home if you want a little extra joy, passion, excitement and sexy time! J

Even Rumpelstiltskin Would Be Pleased With This Gold Décor

Gold. It is simply a magnificent, glamorous and elegant hue for your home! I love gold in the home. Plus it’s a marvelous color with my skin. :-) The kings and queens were on to it long ago. Course, then things were dipped in gold, if not solid, but now you can get gold paint and make you space look dashing. If you want to add a little glamor and fun to your home, gold will most definitely get you there. As much as I love a fun home, you don’t have to go overboard and paint your walls gold. Believe it or not, I am a firm believer that simple is sexy. A touch of gold is sometimes all a room needs. Something to ponder. :-)

Cozy Little Mantels

I love mantels. They are a perfect place for your beautiful accents and favorite photos. I grew up in a cold place, so fireplaces have a special spot in my heart. You can dress them up or keep them simple. In my opinion, they add so much to the home. So, if you are lucky enough to have one, take advantage. Make it good. :-) Use it every now and then and get cozy! Enjoy!

Pets: In Cozy Spaces

Pets are one of my most favorite things in life. Nothing like hanging out with a sweet little friend. I believe there are few things that make your place and life more cozy than the company of a pet. I have to say, these pets look like some straight up lazy bones and pretty happy about it. :-) 

~Feng Shui Tip~

     I've read in several books that pets bring very vibrant and positive energy to the home. That they keep the energy moving freely and keep it from being stagnant, as long as they are are loved, healthy and well taken care of.

That said, I am by no means endorsing anyone to go out and get a pet. Wonderful, but no spontaneous investment! Enjoy!

Chandeliers. So Sparkly. So Classic.

I have to say, it has always been on my bucket list to have a chandelier in my home. I have loved them since the day I was born. These rooms show you the range of how dreamy chandelier decorating is in every kind of room.  Chandeliers make any room look at least semi-glamorous, if not full-on glamorous!
