fall at the couture house.

i mentioned last week that i needed to finally get around to decorating for fall and shared some fabulous inspiration here. well i came through big this weekend, and stocked up on pumpkins, gourds and mums.   i like to keep things classy, and decided to keep it simple. no halloween decor, spider webs, ghosts or tombstones here...  just simple traditional fall/thanksgiving decor.

i am very tempted to gild some of my pumpkins... i mean who doesn't love a gold pumpkin? but for now they are au natural.

sunday i really rolled my sleeves up and decided the front door needed to be painted. i went back and forth on the door color... i love a statement door with a bold pop of a modern color, but i just couldn't do it. i am known for getting sick of statement color choices, so i kept it simple and clean...

here is what i started with... an unfinished door. (don't mind my mid-prep pictures)

and now, say hello to our new glossy black front door.

someone was not happy he was inside while i was outside taking pictures.

now maybe some new brushed nickle hardware?
