Hi, I'm Julie, Chief Executive Empress

of my little apple green design studio.

Welcome to my blog!

When I'm not out visiting a client or searching for just the right  product for a project, I can probably be found in my happy little studio (painted the perfect shade of green), busy drawing up new ideas for a cool kitchen or a "spa-licious" bathroom. I like to share the fun stuff I find along the way!

5 ways to cozy up your home for fall


5 ways to dress up your home for fall

The days are getting shorter, the kids are back in school and Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING reigns supreme. All that to say it’s time to think about bringing cozy back into your home. Here’s my top five ways to dress up your home for fall:

#1 Refresh the mantel

Soon you’ll be wanting to snuggle up around the fire, so pay some attention to the mantel. Try bringing in some more candles, add a few pumpkins or gourds and maybe a piece of art that reflects Fall perfectly. (Dontcha love the refreshing aqua paint color with all that orange?!) And if you don’t have a fireplace, how about a nice centerpiece on the dining room table instead? Photo: www.shelterness.com

#2 Fall Flora

Bring the outside in. Grab some cute baby pumpkins, (white or orange); pick up some branches or twigs while you’re walking the dog or colorful leaves before they get all soggy with the rain. You can make an arrangement of this stuff about anywhere. Buy a bunch of apples and pears and put them in a pretty bowl or tray on the counter. Whatever reminds you of a crisp, October morning will fit the bill. Photo: www.homedit.com
