When Less is More

Room by room I'm starting to scale back- where this dresser use to have several items on it, I'm optioning for just one. I like to call it minimalist magic. Not sure what is going on in my head, but I find that where I may have in the past pulled out all the stops in terms of decorations; by contrast, I'm starting to rely on a few carefully selected objects to make a statement. Yikes, I'm so feeling the need to take everything out of the house- and edit what I bring back in. 

With Fall right around the corner here's my personal Fall Forecast.

• Choose single items I love and keep them-  Limit what I display.
•  Mono-chromatic palette for my bedding- white or natural sheet.
• I'm really tempted to use a bold paint color inside a bookcase built in. {I'm I crazy?}
• Stay with my style of an eclectic mix of prints, furniture and of course my trademark, black furniture and mirrors. {I love painted furniture in Black and White}
• Every home should tell a story- I need to work on my Memory Wall- really need help with this.
• Be brave and change it up a bit- maybe go with something a little more sophisticated-or out of the ordinary.     

Here's a little Fall teaser-
 Enchanted Autumn

Just the makings of our Fall Event. It will be a little "Outside of the Box."

I always am scaling back THEN I go back to my whole "nesting" mentality which includes one giant trip to Ikea. Sigh. I am always selling/giving stuff away and buying more. Guess I just support the economy, and I really should be putting some of that money into a savings account! OH WELL!

This is great, Teresa, I agree with the scaled back approach! It sure makes a great statement!
