1/4 tsp. salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
(or 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground cloves, 1/2 tsp. ground ginger)

Designer Highlight: Greg Natale

Love this living room by a Sydney based architect and interior designer, Greg Natale.
This is very graphic, chic, modern, sophisticated, and so inviting.
I think the star of the room is the fun chevron chair by the window. 

I am now a super fan of Greg Natale's work, 

and below is another room that I think is just fabulous.  

Kitchen of the Year: House Beautiful

This kitchen of the year, that was recently featured in House Beautiful , 

is sleek, modern & spectacular!

The dark paint on the ceiling is out-of-this-world-cool!

The nautical lighting is my new favorite. In fact, those pendants would look perfect in my kitchen.

What a beautiful home. I'm so inspired by all of the white cabinets, silver & shinny accessories, 

and windows. This room just seems so light, bright, happy and clean.
