Flight of elephants

I came across the work of Terry Fan a few weeks ago and I must say that I have the urge to buy it all and wallpaper my house with his beautiful drawings. AND: buy all his laptop skins and iPhone stickers. Terry Fan is a Canadian illustrator working with ink, graphite and photoshop and to me he seems to be brilliant in creating alternative worlds using a beautiful mix of playfulness, darkness, dreaminess and a sense of humor. What to think of Flight of Elephants in which he uses balloons to lift them in the sky? Obvious: love it! Check out his website here.

A carry-with-you-forest

This necklace makes all the 'greed monsters' living somewhere inside me wide awake and dance fiercely. These autumn treasures of the forest are embedded inside the beads of the necklace, so you would carry around green and silver moss, flowers and pine apples. It was designed by Polish designer Sylwia Calus. Beautiful to wear autumn or any time of the year really. Here’s the link to Sylwia Calus’ shop on Etsy.

Guest Post: Piles of Pillows for Fall

Hi, I'm Susi, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, a fabulous online lighting store that has all the latest lighting fixtures and lamps for your home decorating projects. Fall is officially here. Are you ready for it? Fall outdoors means a riot of foliage inspired colors. Why not bring some of that gorgeous color inside with piles of pillows in fall colors? These happy hued colors and seasonal fabrics inspired by fall fashion make great accents for beds, sofas, chairs and even floors. Enjoy!

A pile of harvest gold and white pillows would look great on a grey sofa or any neutral upholstery or bed. Sunny with a touch of winter wheat, these patterned pillows are a beautiful fall color.

Love the autumnal feeling of this bedroom created by the pile of pillows on the bed. Fall fabrics like tweeds, tartans and wools give a cozy feeling to this pretty room. Love the eclectic mix of furnishings, ceiling lights and decorative accessories.

Piles of floor pillows in earth tones are perfect for lounging around in front of a fire on a cool fall evening. Mix floor cushions, poufs and pillows in thick knits, cozy velvets and suede for a fall fashion-inspired look.

Plumy reds, golden yellow and gray make for a lovely fall palette. These accent pillows mix beautifully in this fall palette despite their different patterns.

Fall colors tend to be dominated by warm hues of oranges, reds, yellows. Adding in some cooler colors like teals, plums and grays makes the warmer colors pop.

Paired with camel and the rich reds of the paisley throw, these graphic pillows add a dramatic fall touch. Black and white, black and gold are both great combinations for fall pillows.

Add typical fall patterns, like leopard, paisley or tweed, to your décor with pillows made from these fall fabrics. Love the leopard patterned pillows, along with one of my favorite lamps, in this sophisticated living room.

Of course, solid colored fall pillows are always a good bet. Pick an array of autumnal hues that will work with your existing color scheme. Layer and pile them up for more impact.
