Dark and Moody - Part III
Did you like the last two blog series? We went over a halloween table scape and setting a cheese platter for a cozy gathering, but now it's time to play a "movie!" Anyone who knows me knows of my dislike for scary movies. I refuse to pay to be scared or spooked! Paranormal activity was the last "real" scary movie I saw, and it had kept me up nights! Sadly, I slept with the lights on for two days straight. However, I do love science fiction with a tad bit of horror and suspense. So, with Stranger Things' second season releasing on Netflix the Halloween weekend, a scary movie night with friends and family sounds like a pretty fun idea! I decided to get my bar-cart ready for the night, and give my mantel an easy makeover for some spooky effect.

Dark and Moody Inspiration- Part II
With my dark and moody Halloween tablescape all set for the occasion, it was time to style the coffee table with some appetizers and holiday details. Want to skip the seated dinner plans entirely? No problem! Just order in and cuddle up by the fireplace for a cozy wine (or any drink of your choice) and cheese party with your girlfriends! I'm always ready for a cheese platter, whether it's an added bonus to dinner nights or just an indulgence in itself! It gets so tempting when you place me next to a well-curated cheese platter, because I just can't resist the urge to eat everything. I'd be all over a cheese cake trend for weddings and events! Soft Brie is my go-to cheese, so I always start with that on the list. Putting together this simple cheese platter was easy as pie! This is just to get you started on the idea as you add your own choices and textures to create a colorful and flavorful palette full of variety.
Halloween and Beyond - Part I
With ten more days left till Halloween and autumn season right upon us, I wanted to bring you a series of posts with darker hues and styled details that can help generate ideas and inspiration for your next event. Not all of us like to dress up in Halloween costumes every year. As much as I want to, I don’t always know how to get creative with costumes and Halloween makeup. I know some creatives who can do amazing beauty and gory art that I only wish I could manage! While some of my friends enjoy going out to parties or trick-or-treating with their kids, few of my friends prefer to have a good time with family and friends within the comfort of their own home. Whether you’re one to indulge in well orchestrated entertaining, a warm and cozy Halloween dinner party, or just a simple but scary movie night at your home theater, this inspiration series is for you.
