Hi friends. I want to share with you one of the (very few) decorated nooks in our new home! This space includes a large blueprint copy of a photo of Jeremy's and my hands (it's from our first trip as a couple and very special to us), a small collection of plants, homemade beeswax candles, a small ladder that I picked up at a flea market, pumpkins and a homemade yarn tassels.
The look I was going for was autumnal but still very fresh and clean. I will probably decorate this space again for Halloween and Thanksgiving, so I kept it simple! I can't seem to leave the grocery store without at least a few pumpkins lately, so they're decorating my living room and porch for now. I can't wait to roast some pumpkin seeds!
Thanks for taking a peek into my new space. I still have a to-do list a mile long, but it feels amazing to be decorating one mini-space at a time! xo. elsie
LOVE the styling and colours! as always x

How did you mount the print? I just had one made and I am IN LOVE (thanks for the idea!). But I am not sure how to mount it. Right now it kind of looks like a college art class crit room on my wall. Not sure if this look is going to grow on me though.
K, I didn’t have to tie them. They stay because yarn isn’t too slippery.
XOXO. elsie
how do you keep the yarn tassels from sliding down to the middle of the string?
Sarah Kate, you can e-mail me at elsie AT redvelvetart DOT com
For leather I buy mine all locally at our Tandy leather shop. Hope that helps!

This is so wonderfully put together. I love the yarn tassels, especially, and the picture is very stunning. I wanted to ask you all a question concerning a source for leather. I have found a few online but would feel better having a recommendation from someone who has actually hit the “buy” button before 🙂 Is there an email address to reach you all? Many thanks!
These pumpkins are fantastic! Love it.

Ahh you girls are are amazing and totally talented! I can’t wait to shop from your clothing line it is fabulous!
Gorgeous colours! And the lace flowerpots are lovely 🙂
Surely when winter season comes, this decoration will be removed. But beautiful decoration. 🙂
Ok, so, incomming random question:
I also own a pug, he is 7yrs old and I have yet to figure out a way to control his extreme shedding problem. Please divuldge to me your method of handling this?! The only thing I have come up with was getting him groomed.. but it gets expensive! and honestly.. I would have to do it every 2 or 3 weeks to truly “control” the problem…
THE CUTEST!!!
I am in love with that tassel garland! That can be made for practically any holiday worth decorating for. Really fantastice mantle decor.
I Love this space. The turquoise ladder definitely gives it the fresh feel that you were going for!

Your place looks lovely Elsie, I love that picture 🙂 so sweet. xx
I love it all…especially the fireplace itself!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the entire setup. Can you please let us know where you got your fireplace screen? I’ve been looking everywhere for something like that.
Decorating my mantelpiece is on my Autumn Ten Things To Do list. I think this weekend will be the time to get creative.
I’m thinking bringing in the colourful leaves for starters. Love the colours of Autumn.
i really love those beeswax candles that you made. can’t wait to make some myself!
Elsie, that is the cutest thing ever! I’m diggin’ the ladder, the colors, the pumpkins, and the garland:) Thanks for sharing!
