Before, the mismatched bins looked cluttered and there were not enough of them. The naked windows feel cold, this is NH after all. The plastic laundry basket is functional but certainly not pretty.

I kept the fabric bins I had and purchased new ones from Target to compliment them. I went to four different Targets to get all I needed but I still could not find exactly what I needed.  I had to settle for buying two bright white bins that I tea-stained to match the others. I made the drapes. I purchased some pretty pots, some new plants, and a hamper.  The whole thing cost less than $300.00. I think it was money well spent.

We entered Apartment Therapy’s Fall Colors Contest. Alas, we did not even make it to the semi-finals. However, we are still very proud of the deco-dorking we’ve done to our place. It’s fall so I have the orange accents out. Those will change to red after Thanksgiving. Here are the photos we entered.

Lunch - squash soup and riesling

This table rocks. It lifts up for dining and drops down to be our coffee table.

I change accessories according to the season. This is the fall color scheme.

The couch in the office is a great place to work.

Ideas bloom even after flowers fade.
