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!

HOME-SPIRATION: Coffee Tables
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. I guess you really are an interior decorating nerd when you get this excited about a table, but I know you all do too! Here are some of my favorite coffee table home-spiration images!

HOME-SPIRATION: Masculine Office
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.
WEDDING WEDNESDAY: Calligraphy
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!
HOME-SPIRATION: Open Kitchen Shelving
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.
REINCARNATION: Bar Scene
If you have read previous posts you know that my boyfriend and I are huge wine drinkers. I have recently been OBSESSED with trying to find us a beautiful bar, capable of holding tons of wine and that goes with the style of our downstairs. We have a perfect spot, it is just finding the perfect piece of furniture to go there! Here are some of my favorite inspiration images for the bar, and a few great options we have been looking at.
Here are some of my favorite pieces to create your own home bar, and a few that are on my own wish list!

If you have a larger space I love the Saxton Entertaining Bar Suite from Pottery Barn for $3499 (*currently on sale*)
