Things I love About Fall

Whew, it has been a long week. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, my life has been kinda of crazy. But now I'm back! =) To start out the week I wanted to share with you my favorite things about fall.

1. Who doesn't love to be bundled up in a pretty coat or sweater. I think I have a little obsession with coats and love the make an outfit out of one.

2. Boots! I can't wait to grab a pair of my skinny jeans and  boots.

3. Scarves are my go to accessory in the fall. Put on a plain t-shirt and dress it up with a scarf. It can make a blah outfit to amazing in no time flat.

4. I love the changing of season, the colors of fall, the crisp autumn air. It truly is one of my favorite times of the year.

What do you love about fall?

Lights Done Right

I definitely think that lighting in a kitchen can make or break the space. A good quality source of task lighting and overhead lighting is essential. Over an island is also the perfect place to add that bit of jewelry to your space. Here' some kitchens that have gotten it right.

Designer Crush: Janet Rice Interiors

I stumbled upon the portfolio of Janet Rice. And I'm so glad I did, her interiors are glamorous and chic. I love the way she uses black and white in this space. The pink chairs in the living room are pure perfection.





And who wouldn't love this kitchen?

Client Bedroom Design

I designed this bedroom for a client, who wanted mostly black and white with just a pop of color. She wanted to keep the majority of the room classic and neutral, so that's exactly what we did. The black bamboo chest is a classic elegant touch the room needed and of course every room needs a little animal print! I can't wait to see it come together! If you need my design services you can contact me at debbiealbrethsen@yahoo.com. I'd love the help design your next space.

Dreamy Creams And Vibrant Whites

White nurseries? WOULD YOU DO IT? I might be a little scared with all the baby vomit and how much a baby or toddler can mess up a room. But I DO love the look, have any of you done a white nursery and what was your experience with it?


Cream and white nursery.



The dark rug is definatley baby friendly. It will hide the sticky messes and all the little footprints. If I were to do a mostly white nursery I would make sure the flooring was dark.


The touches of brass in this nursery add a sense of sophistication.

Exteriors That Pop

I always tend to focus on the interiors of a house, but the exterior is just as important. My best advice is to keep the outside classic and add a fun twist or pop that's easy to change. You can always paint a door to freshen up the look.
Here's some of my favorite exteriors that I have been loving.


Light grey and white mixed with a stained wood door. It's classic enough it will never go out of style.


Grey with light blue doors, this garage is such a great color combo.



Very traditional black and white home. With wall to wall windows to let in lot's of sunlight.



I love the pops of turquoise in this exterior. It adds a beachy feel and is stunning!


The landscape design is equally stunning as the architecture.

Happy Labor Day!


I hope you have a great labor day! The hubby actually has a day off school so we will be spending some much needed family time. Were going hiking and having dinner up the canyon. We're going to soak up every last bit of summer we can.
