I want/need to "winterize" my home

photo from REALSIMPLE.com
Holly from the decor8 blog has a wonderful post about "Fall: How to Cozy Up Your Home", a very thorough review of how to "winterize" your interior, and go from summery feel to that cozy, warm feel for winter.
This is how my living-room looks like in summer :
I'll add pics of my own to tell you what I do to prepare for Fall and Winter time!
When nature starts to look like this:

Or even this amazingly beautiful "Haiku" by Lumase:

Then, I'm looking for a color palette like this:

The Fall textile range from etsy seller Cicada Studio. Also the makers of Cloud9 Fabrics.

And also lots of candle light (see above), a good, warm blanket in the following color palette (maybe from Behr.com? not sure), to match my deep chocolate brown vintage couch.


Luxury silk pillows from Agnes & Hoss
I'm also adding silk pillows (see above), changing the rugs, adding silk flowers from SIA... As a centerpiece, I put tangerines in a big glass bowl, for the taste of fresh fruits, and also for the splash of color, that goes so well with the brown background.
And now... winterized !

My Sunday Walk

Here's a picture of my Sunday walk in the outdoors. Meet the Marsanne forest in the fall, in the South-East of France (Provence). Here are a couple of leaves I gathered along the way and taped on Awagami paper:
Tomorrow, we will be back to design and all things lovely!
enjoy!

Daily Poetics
It all started with Fall Colors, Yellow, Red, Orange, Green. All collected by the PoppyTalk blog that I so love.

On the "collecting red" day, I noticed a picture i really liked, it's on the fourth (and bottom) line on this mosaic, the third in the row, when you start looking from the left. And I immediately noticed that said picture was by Flickr member "dailypoetics". I immediately fell for that name.
And what a delight was is to discover that behind "Daily Poetics" stood a very interesting collage artist, Kariann Burleson, and a delightful blog, that I highly recommend?!
Here it is:

We all need a daily dose of poetry!
enjoy!

I can’t wait for fall!

dreaming of fall..,
originally uploaded by Citrushearts.
The photographer nicknamed Citrushearts and found on Flickr is very dear to me. I love her photographs, and especially this one, that captures the essence of fall. Go see it real large!
I love Fall. It's time for back to school (this year I'll be learning Japanese, lyrical singing and how to throw a teapot!). It's time for that perfect balanced weather, neither too hot nor too cold. It's time to cuddle in warm throws or blankets, for wearing sweaters again, for canning what summer still has to offer, to cook and bake...
I love Fall.
enjoy!
