There's a chill in the air and the leaves are beginning to drop: fall is hear! I love this fall tablescape by photographer Andiman with tons of fresh fall food, burlap linens and white ceramic plates. The lighting in these photos is perfect and makes the warm colors of the apples and candy corn pop.
I'm very excited to have found a brand new cooking magazine with some of the most beautiful food photography I have seen in quite a while. Sweet Paul Magazine has joined the new online magazine phenomena and features an assortment of seasonal recipes as well as craft projects like the cute pumpkins below. I can't wait to make fall roasted chicken pies and creamy mushroom pancetta soup. Take a look at Sweet Paul when you get the chance.
Not only does this house have beautiful details like arched doorways and exposed beams, it has been decorated with incredible thought. I love this owner's mix of modern art and tradition antiques. And I love the chef's kitchen, marble tile bathrooms and beautiful flagstone patio that's perfect for my morning coffee. On the market for 2.495 million, 5118 Lowell Lane has 5 bedrooms and 4 baths and is located in the beautiful Kent neighborhood of DC.
This room is perfect for the Upper West Side apartment in Manhattan. Gold and black colors mixed with clean lines and contemporary art make this room sophisticated and elegant. The smoky blue walls and touch of natural coral soften the space and balance out the bold pieces.
How did this beauty not catch my eye before?! 4604 Nebraska Avenue is a stunning 3 bedroom 2 bathroom Victorian home. With the modern updates we all need, this home maintains it's historic charm, making it a unique find. I love the built-ins and antique fireplaces as well as the huge master bedroom closet and updated kitchen and bathrooms. Also, the bright porch swing, great location and decent size backyard offer everything needed for a modern, conventional lifestyle.
