First of all ' THANK YOU ' for stopping by my humble blog!
I have been M.I.A. for the past few months for a lot of personal reasons, and decided to get going with my blogging again after this Fall tour (I hope). Of course, blogging is not for channeling personal woes (after all this is all about decor and homes) , so don't fret, I won't go into that detail. But to keep your worries away, everyone in my family is doing ok, and if you follow me on Instagram, you know it's not so bad. But let's just say 'airing out my dirty/sad laundry' on social media is not my cup of tea!
Anyhow, enough excuses. Secondly I need to thank our gracious blogger host, Marty from A Stroll Thru Life fame. Marty, I can't thank you enough for your patience, kindness and overall generosity for not giving up on me and my blog!!!! Your support means the world to me. Thank you for all you do!
So let's get the ball rolling shall we?
I'm sure you just saw the amazing home of Summer from Simple Stylings, and I hope you won't be disappointed with my tour after seeing that. I basically decided to do an "East vs. West" decor this year as inspired by my Seletti plate collection of the same name, which basically started the whole inspiration for my Fall decor this year. I usually also decorate more for Halloween too, which I can go crazy with. And with that in mind, let's go to the Living Room....

| Fall Living Room |
I kept my Chinoiserie blue and white collection everywhere and just added punches of orange all around. Also, I could not find a single pumpkin anywhere yet where we're at, so this is pretty much a "Pumpkin-Free" Fall decor! ;-)
 |
| Orange Velvet Pillows are from Ikea and the Peridot fabric is from Serena and Lily I scored last year on clearance. |
 |
| I added these peach peonies and pears to my coffeetable vignette and brought out all my stone and Brass Apple collection |
 |
| These artworks have sentimental value to me - they originally hung in our first home in our dining room and I only got to use them for the first time now! |
 |
| They are basically embroidery cut-outs I found years ago at an Antique store in Chicago. Any idea what kind of art this is? |
 |
| Brought out some of my Lucite grape collection |
 |
| Placed my Giant Bird Art works on my console (normally they are displayed in the basement) |
 |
| Had to share our now thriving Salt water aquarium! |
 |
| My Seletti plates that started it all! |
As you can see all the Brass came out here and I love the tarnished Brass chargers that I scored months ago at an Antique store for $1 each! I layered it as well with Rifle Paper Co. gift wrap I cut into placemat size and also the matching place cards. I adore everything in this store and stock up on their wrapping paper just because!
 |
| Table runner is made of native Abaca with embroidery, something I bought on one of my trips from my home country, Philippines. |
 |
| More is better when it comes to candlesticks don't you think? |
 |
| Planted fresh mini mums in my Blue and white ceramic vessel. |
In our Breakfast room I placed some of our now thriving Cockscomb flowers in a vase! I love that I get to enjoy something from our very own garden!
And before I end this tour, I realized it wasn't a "pumpkin-free" tour after all since I do have some pumpkins in my decor...
