Amid the orange and black Halloween decorations that are so prevalent (and fun) around town right now, I became smitten by a little vignette in one of my favorite stores. Right here in Fair Haven, Shutters has done it again.
I was so inspired by this chair, ottoman and the side tables, that in the blink of an eye, the upstairs bedroom was redecorated...at least in my fantasy. The walls were painted a light cocoa color, the woodwork and molding white, and the persimmon colored night stands flanked the bed. In the little alcove by the window was this lovely chair with the pink and brown stripes and of course this fabulous ottoman.
Maybe I am the only person in the world who can walk into a store and have a fantasy about redecorating, but I have a feeling that I am not. Fickle as always, I am smitten by the thought of living with pretty new furniture. The sign, also found at Shutters seems oh so appropriate for how I feel after spending a little time in the store.
The signs and furniture can be found at Shutters, 604 River Rd, in Fair Haven, NJ. There will be more eye candy from Shutters in posts to follow. This post is being linked to Beverly's How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.

Inspiration...that is what I like to call it! I love it better when I can act on it.
So....are you going to redecorate that room? I'd love to watch the process if you did and shared it.

That is a sweet & happy pink sign, Susan! I am very overdo in the redecoration department, so maybe I should pay Shutters a visit one day and get some inspiration? Looking forward to seeing what else you saw there.

Susan, this is just as cute as can be! I can certainly understand having a fantasy about that decor in a bedroom. That sign is darling! I love shutters, too. Yep, I can understand this wholeheartedly.
Hope you are having a super weekend.
Warm hugs...
XO,
Sheila :-)

I do like the striped material on that chair, Susan. I'd be surprised to see it used in any room but a bedroom that is, unless, you live in Florida!

Susan, I am dying here over that sign. It would have definitely had to come home with me. Unfortunately, it is way to far for me to jump in the car to run and purchase.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi Susan...I've been in Shutters quite a few times. And Fair Haven is such an adorable town. It's so funny, I keep meeting bloggers that live near me or live where I used to live.
Great things in Shutters!

Some people may have other types of fantasies, but I'm with you on the redecorating one! I'm picturing that chair and ottoman in our bedroom too. Unfortunately that also involves imagining busting through a wall to make the room bigger in order to fit that chair and ottoman in there!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Yes! I must redecorate when I fall in love with ... whatever. Lucky for me I am moving, so excellent timing. In spite of RetroRenovation's pleas to resist the griege, I find myself drawn to it, or plain gray.
I'm still visiting around PS posts. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
