Hi there! Phew..its already Thursday, where did this week go? As with all my random musings posts, this is a little of this and a bit of that. So how is your week going? Have you started seeing a serious overload of holiday decor and then some? I am seeing Thanksgiving, Christmas and Halloween decor everywhere! Fun but a little scary too, I mean I am still weaning myself off of the fact that summer really is over.  But have to say I am definitely finding a new pep in my step now that fall is officially here.
So lets get started…..some pics were taken with my iPhoto as my camera had a melt down (being overly abused I suspect). There’s some exciting house updates and some great new store loot too. This ended up being a longer post than I anticipated so here it goes…..
Buzzword this week is my bathrooms! Amazing what 2 beautiful mirrors and a gorgeous chandelier can do…..
Back powder room with mirror hung…its a love for me. Sorry for the little misplaced things, it was a work in progress:)

Then to my main powder room…got the gorgeous mirror up with the new chandelier and I must say I am madly in love…..remember I am going for a jewel box super elegant formal vibe here. (The reason the drawers are not closed is because I am waitin for my handyman who is coming today to cut out the back to fit under the sink)

I have a “thing” for topiaries, urns, orbs, you name it….so was excited to get a great resource for high quality moss orbs! I put them in my urns and have to say I love them, elegant and understated…..

And with both done…..

Also have started doing a little “fallish decorating around here”…subtle touches but sure signs that fall has officially arrived……OK its only one planter but promise my goal is to finish the second one in the next day or two:)
Only have one done and am still tweaking it…but its a start!

The back planters are not keepers, they are not at all what I am looking for but they are there for now…


New loot. A few exciting things came in, you know I am like a kid in a candy shop and have to share right away!!! I know many of you were waiting on me to get more chargers and I scored 24 more beauties!!  As is always the case with this vendor, I only get in one or two of each item so I don’t normally put them up in my online store, by the time I do they are sold. So for easy reference, I have numbered each picture if you care to email to inquire about anything, click here to reach me. Some real beauties…..
Picture 1 got in 3 pair of these stunning black tole metal planters with gold detailing, super elegant!

Picture 2 These pretty silver vases, great detailing stands about 12″ tall, have four

Picture 5 An “antiqued ornate small wine cooler or small ice bucket

Picture 17 Stunning blk tole planter or small wastebasket, I have 6 of these…love the gold rimmed scallop detailing

Picutre 17 close up
Already put my two to good use…

Also clarification on soaps…….yes I do have the squares too. They will be added by the time you read this……they are also great looking. The soaps are with good reason a very popular item in my store…best part of all once your order is placed, they are on their way to you within THREE days!! Awesome for last minute gift ideas. Click here to see them.
Also for anyone who is considering the monogrammed linen napkins/guest towels or cocktail napkins, price increase going into effect Sept. 25th. They will still be priced well below full retail price and are still an absolute bargain…..just letting you know! Where else can you get a set of twelve monogrammed linen cocktail napkins for 30.00! Click here to see them.

So thats what’s new and exciting over here. I am having 50 people (family party) over for dinner on Saturday and am going to be really busy over the next few days. Naturally will try to capture as much as I can but since I am a little out of being in entertainment mode, I think I am going to need to really stay focused to pull it off! Feel to contact me with any questions or inquiries. Thanks so much for stopping in to see whats new over here. Hope you are having a fabulous week and wishing you a wonderful day! Be back soon…….

Tina, maybe this is TMI, but if you invited me over, I’d give as many excuses I need to go to your powder rooms all day long!!! LOL I love them!!! The wallpaper look so stunning, Tina. You made the right choices!

Big hug to you,

Luciane at HomeBunch.com

TINA TINA TINA!!!!!

I’m first AGAIN here and I am so excited. You just gave me a grand idea for my powder room!

Oh dear, what can I say but that both of your powder rooms are exquisite, but that MAIN POWDER ROOM….HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! What a palace! Your choice of wallpaper could not be ANY BETTER. I love every stroke of gold, every sparkle of chandelier and those TO-THE-FLOOR windows….

BRAVO MY DEAR. Your home is just right. LOVE THAT CROWN-style towel tray!

Now off to put my white soaps in a sterling dish..the perfect touch for my white/gray powder room! HUGS, Anita

Wow just wow. I am speechless over how the powder rooms came out. I think I would invent reasons to go in there, maybe move a desk or my computer in? Haha. Just magnificent and the mirrors and lighting adds the perfect finishing touches. I love your outside fall planters and the moss balls are so elegant.
All your new shop goods are incredibly beautiful, I see a few things I would love to have, going to email you. I think the soaps are the perfect gift btw, so affordable and unique.

Oh my goodness, such gorgeousness in the powder room. The only problem I see is all your guest will stay in there all evening taking it all in! Great new goodies for your store. I’m enjoying my gorgeous chargers, on a shelf in my kitchen. They are just what I’ve wanted and couldn’t find!
Happy Day……..

Good morning, Tina – another group of lovely pictures – I look forward to your posts because they are so pretty to look at – The Enchanted Home has offically become my favorite blog! I love how you do things yourself instead of so many people I know who just hire someone to do it for them. The powder room looks amazing!! Good luck with your party and enjoy this gorgeous fall weather!!!

Amazing store items as usual! The guest towel trays are amazing. Love the brass bamboo tray. I think the bathrooms are coming along perfectly! That dinner plate looks so good on the charger that everyone will want your plates now too! Hope you have a great party!

I loved what Lucianne said! I was thinking I would never leave either of those gorgeous powder rooms! They are both exquisite in their own way! Please invited us all over! You know we would have a wonderful time…and then we could eat off of your beautiful plates and chargers as well! ( I don’t think I’ve ever invited myself over to someone’s house before!) Oh well, we can just pretend! I love all of your “loot” as you call it…it would look great in my shop! I can’t wait for fall to officially STAY here in Alabama…this is just a teaser for now, I am sure! Hopefully it will feel like this on Saturday for the game in Auburn and to go see Miller! I can’t wait! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful ideas and your home with us!

Love your random musings!!! You bathrooms look GORGEOUS!!!!! love them both. Love all your new loot too. You have a fabulous eye. Hope you enjoy the family dinner party. I am sure it will be a lot of work but even more FUN!

Ooooh, thank you for sharing updated pix of the bathrooms, they look *amazing*. It’s nifty to see how the varying choices you discussed here actually look once they were installed, that is one of the best things about the blog. Love the ‘fallish’ decor underway, I am so sad, our mums and asters never even came up this year, very bizarre, those are some of my favorite fall flowers. (Insert sad face.)

The new treasures look great!

I also love seeing the updates of your bathrooms. These two powder rooms are looking gorgeous. The combination of the wallpaper and that gorgeous gold mirror in your master powder room is spectacular. And I am still loving the look of your combo of outdoor pots, I`m glad you kept both of them. I pinned your rod iron door, probably for the 10th time, I just love it so much, it is absolute perfection.
Hope your party goes off well, but I`m sure it will be fantastic.

Tina, everything is exquisite, as always. It was SO much fun watching your bathrooms (and everything else) come together. I love them both, and am completely in awe of the main powder room. I LOVE that you have full sized drapes in there. It is a jewel box worthy of a queen!
Stacy

OMG Tina! That chandelier and mirror is stunning and you’ve defiantly achieved the look you were going for ..such a jewel! I like you fall touches in the front of the house. I’ll bet you are SO excited about decorating your new home for the upcoming holidays! Keep all those goodies coming.. love them all!

… that sould be definitely! My cell phone has a mind of its own sometimes!! Have a nice weekend and enjoy your party!

Lots of gorgeousness here as always, Tina! Love those mirrors they add just the right flourish to your rooms. I’ve been trying to ignore the Halloween candy at our corner grocery store – the year seems to be moving so quickly, I just wish we could slow things down a bit. Good luck with your family party this weekend. I’m sure it will be a smashing success! XO

Stunning!!!!!… Dear Tina, your both bathrooms look great and gorgeous, as everything else in your home. I follow your blog since summer and I would like to say thank you to you for sharing beautiful ideas and amazing pictures of your home with people who love interior decoration.
I fell in love to a guest powder room. I was in China in February this year.. Since then I love everything chinese… πŸ™‚
If someone knows the brand of the wallpapers I would be very much obliged for the tip.
Thank you very much…

OMG the bathrooms are to die for! I could happily live in either one of them, fabulous choices for the mirrors!! Prettiest bathrooms I think I have ever seen, Tina.
Love your fall decor and those moss balls are so elegant. Ditto all the gorgeous goods for the shop, I must get those monogrammed cocktail napkins and all the blk. toile is so pretty too. I love your taste, so classic and will always be beautiful. Thanks and hope you have a great day….50 people for dinner, wow thats a lot of work, but I am sure you will do a fantastic job and have a lot of fun. Don’t work too hard.

the mirror is drop dead gorgeous in there, tina. i could live in there methinks.

moss orbs! need them! they look perfect.

crown silver tray thing for guest towels. making a note. really sharp.

dinner party for 50? i know you and i know you’re like me so this will be a snap. we come alive to rise up to such a task, don’t we????

peace, babe.

Absolute magnificence in those bathrooms. Your taste is impeccable. So smart of you to open an online shop where we can all enjoy and get a tiny piece of The Enchanted Home. LOVE every single item you carry. Have many on my Christmas list!

Such serious beauty here. I do not know where to even begin, the bathrooms have achieved bathroom perfection. Congrats, all your guests will be in awe I am sure, and if you wonder where they are- look in their, thats where you would find me, haha.
The new addtions are also so beautiful, very in keeping with your elegant and timeless style, the linens and soaps I bet will be a popular item around the holidays. Thanks for bringing some beauty to my day, now its back to work!

Hi Tina,

Lots of progress! Thanks for sharing.
You must line those powder bath drawers with some Caswell Massey scented drawer liners! Put a french or italian chair in the window, so it is seen from outside…

Hi Tina- I am in love with both powder rooms. Your selections in papers, flooring, mirrors and lighting is so amazing. Want to come over here and design my bathrooms? They could use a litle “enchanted home” touch!
If I were a guest, I think I might look for any excuse to stay in there awhile πŸ˜‰

And of course adore all your shop items. One as pretty as the next. Thanks for sharing so generously.

Hi Tina – your powder rooms are absolutely awesome! Could you share the name of the wallpaper in the back room?

Thanks – Jen

Hi Jen! I also fell in love with this wallpaper. If you get the name could you please be so kind to share it with me. Thank you in advance.

Natalya

Hi Tina ….. I so love that mirror in your first powder room! Where did you get it as I have been looking for something similar for our bathroom. We actually have the same mosaic marble tiles in our ensuite as well…. Also love the silver trays and the monogrammed linen! Have a beautiful weekend and good luck with your family party. I have a cocktail party on Saturday night for about 20 people and I am starting to think I had best get started in the kitchen!
best wishes always
Frances

Hi Tina, I just ADORE your monogrammed soaps and linens – do you ship internationally to England?
The powder rooms are an absolute triumph – I particularly love the gingham check fabric in the guest powder room – it’s so zesty and pretty!
Best wishes,
Paula x

As always Tina your home is turning out so well, your bathrooms are stunning! I just planted up some Mums yesterday and am off to pick a few pumpkins to place about. Fall is definitely here in New England as it’s cold in the mornings and the leaves are trying to see how fast they can cover our lawns. Oh, one question, would you please move your shop of goodies to my house….:)

Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Tina, it is unbelievable how stunning your powder rooms are! I love them both, can’t even decide which I would give a higher score, they are so different and yet so much together…fitting the same home! I love the flow in your house, how it all flows well and consistent yet it is not the same. I am trying to do it too, of course. Just our house is not a castle like yours ((: and it is increadible to see your work. I grew up visiting castles on school trips and with my paretns very very often and your version of a castle is modern and improved with all the glamorous feeling to it.
Truly, I admire it.

hugs Z

Sounds like you are a busy person – can’t even imagine how to fit 50 people in my home let along entertain them. Your bathrooms are works of art, Tina!

Hi Tina. Jewel box is the perfect term for your lovely powder room. It certainly is. I can’t wait for a feeling of fall. Still in the high 90’s here. Love all your new finds. One of these days…. Have a great weekend entertaining. Lucky guests!

Good luck with the dinner Tina… it will be fabulous as you are a brilliant hostess… Your powder rooms are every bit as lovely as I imagined… Have a wonderful weekend… xv

If there were Oscars for bathrooms, yours would take the top prize. These two bathrooms are just absolutely gorgeous. Makes my mouth hang open, they are so pretty. Every single detail is done to perfection. I hope you might consider sharing the paper sources? I am in love with both!
And of course I am a huge fan of your online shop and it just gets better. Those trays, planters, soaps and linens are beautiful gifts to buy for yourself as well as to give as gifts. Love it all. Good luck with your dinner party, I fret over 10 people so I am impressed with you having 50! Dont’ work too hard and hope you enjoy yourself.

Tina,

You never cease to blow me away with all of your beautiful artistic talent. Both bathrooms are to die for. Your home is a total dream. You got a handsome brother-in-law I can marry so that I can come to your fabulous parties? hee hee. Once again I find myself asking when HGTV is going to give you your own television show!

Love,
Deb xo
