I wonder how's that with you .... but with the change of season I feel a strong need to bring that change actually within my home.
The dawn of Autumn makes me want to give the house a warmer and cosier look .
I love to combine old with new and lately I find that new very often at
Ikea.
So a trip to the store was necessary for the change I had in mind. You should have seen the look on his face when I told my husband the reason for our visit. New cushions..... you've only recently bought new? Yes.... but then it was Spring!!
While Spring made me yearn for light colours, Autumn does just the opposite. So when I saw this beautiful velvety
lilac cushion cover I was sold directly.
To emphasise the quiet earth tones further in my home I was looking for a cushion cover to let both colours go well together.
I found just what I was looking for in this
brown/multicolour cover where the yarn is raised slightly from the surface, giving the fabric a handcrafted look.
Living in an old house, winters can be very cold and nothings better than to snuggle under a throw.
Unfortunately I can't find the link on the website of Ikea but I also bought this beautiful (and of high quality ) coloured throw just about a week ago and it combines exactly with the cushions.
So for a relatively small amount I have the autumnal atmosphere I had in mind ....
Because I like it as the colour of flowers matches the interior, I suddenly had a very different search than usual at the flower stall on the market , and returned home with a bunch of this beautiful lilac roses ....
I love to make all kinds of small bouquets and this little purple
vase is just perfect for that purpose ....
The rattan heart that hangs in my bay window also got an Autumnal "transformation".
Because the central heating is not a good environment for fresh flowers I bought some artificial flowers.
They seem almost real ....
Every time I'm still amazed what a small (colour) change can do to the perception of your home.
Though I think it's already clear .... I'm ready for Autumn.
Wish you all a very good week!
