Pottery Barn is one of my favorite resources for furniture and accessories and their seasonal decor is always exceptional.

 This season's treasures are even better than I expected. 

Take a look at this....

These mercury glass trees are available in four different sizes and range from $14.50 to $69

At 35.5" tall, this Grand Bronze Reindeer Pillar Holder is sure to make your room special

I always enjoy decorating with lanterns and these Snowflake Punched Ceramic Lanterns are gorgeous

Autumn Dinnerware and Table Decor

One of the best things about Autumn is decorating with the gorgeous colors of reds, browns, gold, and green.

 I especially love a beautifully set table in 

Fall colors!

Here is some inspiration for your dining table decor:

Start your guests off with these great appetizer plates from JCPenney Home. They have a slight metallic accent that really adds to your table.

This lovely dinneware from Pier 1 Imports can really make a statement against a neutral tablecloth. Each piece is between $5 and $7!

 

 

Serve up your favorite nuts or candies in this antiqued bronze Maple Leaf Serving Bowl from Pier 1.

Pottery Barn has this gorgeous Pear Platter. It would be perfect for serving a variety of scrumptious foods and it's dishwasher and microwave safe.

If you prefer a more clean lined look, these great dishes in red/orange from CB2 are the perfect way to liven up your table. 

Happy Autumn decorating!

Accessories

I spent the day staging a home that is going up for sale. I have some favorite pieces that I use for staging and thought I'd share them with you. They're great pieces of decor that work in almost any home with any style and color scheme.

Lantern

I love using lanterns! They look beautiful on an end table, or a collection as a dining table centerpiece. They're also great to stick in that little nook. Better yet, add some of the great battery operated candles to create ambiance in the home. I particularly love these lanterns from Pottery Barn. 

 

Ottoman

Having an ottoman is a great piece of furniture. I have this Issac ottoman in Black from Pier 1 Imports. I've used it in almost every room; add a tray and you have a coffee table, use as extra seating and I've even used it as an end table when staging a bedroom. 

Coffee Mug

Yes...go ahead and laugh...I have a favorite coffee mug. I like to place coffee mugs in a kitchen to give it a comfortable feel so the potential buyer can imagine themselves coming downstairs to grab their morning cup of joe. These mugs from Crate and Barrel are perfect. A clean white color paired with a simple clean shape provide for the perfect home staging mug.

 

Storage Baskets

I don't know of a single house that can't benefit from some great storage baskets. I like to use these great baskets from Target to show how the homeowner could keep organized. I use them in every room from the office to the bathroom.

Candle

 I find my favorite white or cream pillar candles at Pier 1 Imports. They always have tons of the unscented candles in stock in every shape and size you could imagine. They also offer the battery operated candles and they even have great scented ones too. I addition to the Pier 1 candles, I also love to add Illume brand candles to homes. They are my favorite and have amazing scents. Their Pineapple Cilantro will give the room an amazing scent without even lighting it! They can be sometimes difficult to find so check out their website here. 

I hope you enjoyed viewing my list of MUST HAVES for home staging. Have a great day!

Organic Bedding

Organic or Eco-friendly bedding is becoming more and more popular. Organic bedding can be made from cotton, hemp, bamboo, jute, ramie, soy silk, nettle fiber or calico. These organic materials are 100% hypoallergenic so perfect if you have allergies. When you think of organic bedding, you may think of it as not being comfortable or decorative. I've found several different places though to purchase great, comfortable bedding that also looks great. 

The Company Store has great bedding options. All their organic bedding complies to the strict Global Organic Textile Standards.

Pottery Barn actually has a great sale going on right now. You can save up to 20% on their organic duvets.
