Your kitchen needs a retro diner booth! Listen to me Homies… one day… ONE DAY I shall have a retro diner booth in my kitchen.

Wanna take a few measurements of your breakfast nook, or maybe your game room, and then check out some of these awesome booths?

I'm sure these skeletal flamingos are meant to be a halloween thing, but do we really have to limit creepy/kitschy to the month of October?
Can't we gently spook the neighbors year-round? Source: amazon.com via Ariel on Pinterest We actually got TWO questions concerning this home decorating conundrum… So hubs and I love nothing more than monsters, Halloween, and fall in general. How do I tie that all in to a general year round house theme without just putting up Halloween decorations all year? Fallout video game-inspired home decor. Items from the board: Radio, ammo box, banker's lamp, space-age poster, bobblehead, Persian rug, coffee table, Coca-Cola poster, armchair, couch. There's one thing in the decoration department that I love to do more than decorating on my own place: decorating my video game character housing. Spend hours playing to get that rare (and virtual!) Piece of furniture to complement my decor? Check. Gather piles of in-game money to purchase this particular house in the next village?

Enjoy the change of seasons with pretty ideas for simple fall decor. Yo, Southern Hemisphere!
I know you're springing into summer now. I'd love to hear your stories of what's happening on the flip side as spring drifts in, so if you have something to share from the south side, send it my way! I know, I heard it from y'all that fall isn't exactly blustering in to the US. We're still in the 70s in Iowa, but the trees are changing and nights are getting longer, anyway. And it's a sure sign that the seasons are changing when the internet is splattered with lusty decorating images of fall vignettes like the one up there. In a time of year when the natural world is the focus of so much admiration, there are ways to bring autumn home by taking advantage of simple beauty. Like SMELLS. In fall the air is crisp and less humid and smells don't stick around like they do in the wet peak of summer, so it's a little nicer to create them.
Now Foods Sandalwood Oil Adding a few drops of oil to a pot of hot water — or a tea kettle — will do the trick here, too.
