Of course for the Wednesday before Halloween I had to highlight the most interesting type of wedding I have found… a Halloween Wedding. For all those who love the spooky and scary, anyone Halloween obsessed would love this type of wedding! There are a lot of kooky things that can be involved with Halloween weddings but I picked my favorites, classy and Halloween obsessed. If you’re going to have your wedding on a holiday this is the one they go all out for!
With my Starbucks in hand, how appropriate that I am writing about coffee tables. These little tables can be so much more than extra storage, or a place to rest your beverage, and I have found some amazing and unique coffee tables.

We are trying to find the perfect balance of masculine and feminine in decorating our home. Of course their are spaces that I want to be more masculine than others, and one of those is the office are. With David working from home, I need something that I love (to look at) and that he loves (to work at) A place with the perfect balance of masculinity and function. Its a difficult process! Here are some of my favorite home-spiration images for a masculine, balanced office.
Okay it may just be the design geek in me but I LOVE handlettering. It is a skill I really wish I had and am definitely going to learn! All my graphic designer friends have such a talent for this and I am so jealous! I think the most important thing about planning a wedding is the details. That is what makes an event special. Calligraphy is not just something that you should use on invitations but almost everything! It can be an amazing detail to make your special day even more beautiful. Here are some of my favorite wedding day calligraphy inspirations and a few of my favorite calligraphy and hand lettering boutiques on Etsy!
If you are looking for some great hand lettering and calligraphy for your big day here are some great options from Etsy!

I have recently been stocking up our kitchen for the fall months, baking cookies, and anything pumpkin of course! We recently had to get some new kitchen storage for all of craziness. I was looking for exactly what I wanted and what felt right for our kitchen, and fell in love with the idea of open kitchen shelving. This is a new trend, and definitely a big choice to make. I think I’ll have to wait until we have prettier dishes, but I just LOVE this look. Here are some of my favorite home-spiration images for open kitchen shelving.
If you have read previous posts you know that my boyfriend and I are huge wine drinkers.
