Fab Fall Favorites of TCI

Fall has finally arrived and with a new season comes new ideas, fresh design and open minds.

Here at TCI we like to look to many places to inspire our design.

- Home decor

- Fashion

- Accents

We've scoured around for our favorites that inspire us.

1. Camel hat, gray wool scarf and all black ... we can incorporate this color scheme into a pillow design asap.

2. Natural fibers and wood box containers ... we will make it our goal to combine wood elements with natural greenery in small accents and unique places.

3. This orange, taupe and white wool throw blanket brings warmth, style and functionality to any room.

4. Not everything has to be soft and warm ... throw in a little excitement with metal and lights!! This metal FALL marquee sign will brighten up your space in a flash

Pumpkin spice latte anyone?

A coffee cup of scented wax will fill home with the best little aroma for the fall season. Not only is design and decor essential to an autumn home, but also the candle of choice ;)

Get festive for fall! Enjoy the season!

Kitchen with Warm Fall Colors

Did you know you can actually "go fall" with your decor all year around without even putting out fake pumpkins or leaves?!

Yep - These kitchens pull off that warm fall feel with only colors and textures.

Paint - oranges and deep navys with a basketweave pendant

Stain - These cabinets still pull off a modern look with a warm, rich stain

link

Deep and moody - A backlit gold island paired with concrete gray and brick/wood textures

link

Wood- the richness of wood in a variety of colors scream warm, comfortable and cooler weather

For those of you that Autumn is your favorite season, you may have just found your new kitchen design.

Best Autumn Retail Picks of the Season!

Fall is finally here!!

While we showed you some great pumpkin centerpiece ideas last week, here are some of our favorite buys of the seasons at retail shops you can go and grab them up for yourself!!

Get ready to READY your home for the Fall season!

This pumpkin punch bowl and cups set from Pottery Barn. Lovely.

This wishbone platter from West Elm ... mmmm so yummy.

Pretty much the most precious leaf salt and pepper shaker you've ever seen from Bloomingdale's.

Williams and Sonoma does it again with these pumpkin place card holders ;)

And quickly followed up by this simple, yet adorable pumpkin and burlap wreath. Thanks Williams and Sonoma

These pumpkin spreaders are to die for in cuteness.

Not only did West Elm make platters, but also plates in a variety of Thanksgiving designs!

And come on ... I saved the best for last here -- a cast iron dish with a duck head handle from Habitat.

You're welcome!

Now you have no excuse to say "I just couldn't find anything this season" ... because we've laid it out for you!!

5 Simple Pumpkin Centerpieces to Perfect Your Place

It's officially October and even though it was 95 degrees in Texas today ...

we are feeling the FALL spirit. And ready to prep our home for the upcoming holidays.

It's easy to go into the attic and pull out all your old Autumn decor out ... but don't you want a fresh look this year? And it STILL be an easy thing to do?

Here are 5 fun ideas by Real Simple that caught our eye!

The Succulent Pumpkin:

This is our personal fav. Simply cut a hole in the top of a pumpkin and clean the inside out ... and insert a succulent planter in the hole!

The Terrarium Pumpkin:

This can be done a couple different ways. Use a glass fish bowl and add moss, small pumpkins and pine cones, OR turn a larger glass vase or bowl upside down on a wood slice and use the same decor items within!

link

The Decoupage Pumpkin:

This one is a kid favorite. Using Mod-Podge and artificial leaves ... create your own design on the outside of the pumpkin!

link

The Stacked Pumpkin:

These slightly resemble mushrooms and we love the stacked appearance. Using wooden skewers, attach a couple of pumpkins on either end and finish the bottom with a little moss!

link

The Metallic Pumpkin:

Another one of our favs -- using copper leaf sheets and gilding adhesive ... create your own pattern and apply the gilding adhesive where you want the metallic to be, then apply the copper leaf to the pumpkin. Beautiful!

Happy Pumpkin Decorating!

Accessories PERFECT for Fall.

It's that time of year again! Bring out the pumpkins, spice candles and ~~faux leaves~~.

BUT Do you have to?! We have accessories to show you that are PERFECT for Fall, but don't have the kitschy appearance of a bowl full of fake fall leaves!

1. Earth tones. Use natural plant life that brings in the fall colors. Auburn, moss green, and taupes are great starters.

TCI Project

2. Wood Look. Natural wood is always a plus in the fall season. It brings the outdoors inside, which is what everyone wants to do in this crisp season!

TCI Project

3. Lanterns. What says FALL better than a great collection of lanterns?? Fill the inside with the unexpected. Books, or a pop of color to coordinate with your home.

TCI Project

4. Don't forget about your OUTDOORS! Pottery and Plants. Need I say more??

TCI Project

5. Wire baskets and Fall Colors. A touch of coral and rust in the Autumn season just seems to bring a sense of the north-east to Texas! A few sprigs of color mixed in a natural wire basket will brighten up any countertop.
