Caption: Fall is here...and while everything is turning red, orange and yellow. We are thinking outside the box. Here we chose a sumptuous white pumpkin and filled it with romantic pale creams, peaches, pinks and sea foam greens. The little berries are seeded eucalyptus and the ocean green cashmere like leaves are lambs ear. This works beautifully offset with rich browns and copper.

Caption: The premier piece we incorporate to make an impact in our design is light. We use mirror to bring light into our spaces. It illuminates the room and gives the illusion of more windows as well as more space. Candles and soft amber twinkle lights offer a dreamy effect for romantic lighting. We layer trays with candles and string lights around mirrors to maximize the reflective effects.

Caption: Layering in the Bedroom Another beautiful layering example shown here... No matter what size your bed is, start with four king-size pillows, lay two of them down at the head of the bed flat and prop two pillows up against the headboard...
Picture
Caption: Then build from there mixing monochromatic colors with varying textures. This always works well. At the foot of the bed we love to add an extra puffy down comforter. Placing a large tray at the foot of the bed is also a plus, it can hold your books, magazines and awaits the perfect place for your coffee or tea on those lazy weekend morning.

Caption: Glitter & Pearls Pearls are always a good idea.
Wardrobe layers, light blue menswear inspired dress-shirt, sparkle shirt, and cashmere sweater are the perfect combo. Add a fabulous denim jacket for evening.

Caption: Thanksgiving will always be one of my favorite holidays I love that it is just about coming together sharing a meal, opening your home and relaxing together. The smells, the sights, the sounds, the beauty of the leaves turning, and a roaring fire in the fireplace. Togetherness.

Caption: The Centerpiece Layering beautiful papers whether they are scrapbooking papers wallpaper, wrapping paper or ribbon on the table makes an inexpensive first layer.
Picture
Caption: Place setting This charger was made from a large clear glass serving platter we chose a tissue paper with typeset to match our decor and decoupaged it onto the back of the plate. Inexpensive custom dishes!

Caption: Here at POISE we love instant gratification design projects. This is easy, fun and has a fabulous designer look. Taking a large terra-cotta saucer and a small terra-cotta pot turning them both upside down gluing one to the other then paint to your hearts desire. Ta da!

Caption: Here the cake plates are displayed underneath our cotton candy Christmas houses to give varying heights.

Caption: Easy Centerpiece Some days we have spent more time than we thought on preparing food cleaning the house and doing everything to have company. This easy centerpiece is your go to!
Picture
Caption: Whether you're faced with last-minute company, a meal that took longer to prepare than you thought or just not wanting to fuss, this centerpiece designs itself. All you need is a basket or glass bowl that you can see through . Hydrangeas or peonies are a perfect flower for this.
Picture
Caption: Arrange all of your flowers so that the stems are facing inward and the blooms cover the stems. Making sure the flowers face is facing out towards your guests. Ta-da..........
you did it!
Picture
Picture
Caption: It always feels good to send your guests home with a little something, whether it's your friends your family your entertaining clients. It's those little things that just tickle people. Here we took a wonderful smelling candle and simply attached a chiffon flower to the top. You could add some ribbon and a sweet little thank you tag to top it off. Or make them into place cards.

Caption: We hope you have enjoyed our issue on the layering, from what you wear to where you live and everywhere in between!! We wish you comfort and a happier day!
