Transformer Table

We have been trying to get some ideas for a table that would work well in our apartment. Our living space is a bit smaller than our last apartment, so we want something that would maximize the space. I found the perfect table on the Apartment Therapy website. We love the design. It's a console table that can expand to a dinner table. It's perfect.

Halloween Decor

I love Halloween and all the fun decorations. When I saw this print on a blog I immediately fell in love with it.

Click here to go to the blog for more info on the print.

I also love this image that my friend Jessica designed. She is so creative and has just started a craft blog called Craftily Ever After. This image is offered for free. I can't wait to print it out and frame it. Check out her blog for other fun craft ideas.

Finally....

One of my favorite stores is opening November 11th in Portland!! I can't wait. I've been waiting for this to happen for a long time. I'm already planning my plan of attack, I just wish I didn't have to work that day.

Emily Henderson

I'm a little late on this post, but did you watch "The Secrets of a Stylist" with Emily Henderson a few weeks ago? I loved it. She had so many great ideas and tips to pass along, plus I really enjoyed her personality. I'm super excited to hear that her show was picked up for 26 more episodes. I can't wait! Emily Henderson won HGTV's Design Star, which I did not watch this season and I'm totally regretting it now. I'm also a big fan of her blog. Another fun fact about Emily is that she was raised in rural Oregon. Yay for Oregon!

In the pilot show she did a home makeover for Ian Brennan, the co-creator of Glee. Here are some pictures.

After picture. I love the colors she used, especially the rug.

Here is another picture of the living room, she just styled it a bit different. I love the rug in this picture as well.

I love how she painted the back of the shelves a different color. This is definitely a trend I've noticed lately. Nate Berkus had and example of this on his show last week.

After picture. I love what she did with the space. The wallpaper is great and I think the bedding is from West Elm, another favorite of mine.

Another after picture of the bedroom.

After picture. I'm loving the blues and the grays she used.

She is so creative and I'm excited to see more of her work in the future.
