It's that time of year again for ghouls, goblins and all things spooky, but here at Butterfly Lane we like to take a more grown up and stylish take on the traditional Halloween pumpkin and inject some seasonal pizazz in to your home.

Here are our ideas below: 

Deck your fireplace...

For the Love of Fur (Faux)

Fur is one of the biggest trends this season for your wardrobe and for your home too.  There is something so luxurious, warm and wintery about this trend, whether it be faux or if you don't mind sporting the real deal, it is time to snuggle up! 
 

I love a fur style throw or rug thrown over a sofa or chair. 




Buy the below faux styles from Butterfly Lane.


Rosie Huntington-Whitely looks stunning in her fur gilet, and you can buy exactly the same one from Butterfly Lane.  Available in four gorgeous shades.





We also have some fabulous fashion accessories with a nod to this snuggly winter trend.  Here is a sample below...

What to Buy This Week: Ceramic Lady Bust

My sitting room is a shell of a room at the moment, ready to be dressed and accessorised (the best bit!).  But one thing that has been given pride of place already is my ceramic lady bust - I love it!  Buy it here.
 
Buy the Lady Bust from Butterfly Lane, £19.95
This decorative accessory looks great in every room, in a bathroom, in a bedroom to hang jewellery from...or just placed on a sideboard as I have done here.  

Lamp from Laura Ashley, £160
The bare room and walls are ready to accessorise!


Wall colour:  Skimming Stone by Farrow & Ball.

Before & After: My Kitchen

After...

I thought I'd share a project of mine with you...our kitchen renovation at Beech House.  We transformed the rather fussy sitting room (below) in to a family friendly kitchen/diner (above).

 
Here is me making notes before we moved in!

We decluttered the fireplace and added a log burning stove, along with hanging my favourite wall plaque which is available to buy at Butterfly Lane.

Before
We kept the colour palette simple by using cool greys and Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White on the walls.

After
All we need now is the perfect dining table to fill this space...
