Meet the Cucurbita Family (Gourds & The Great White Pumpkin)

October is a great month for decorating, and now that Fall has finally decided to stand up and greet us with a cool down in the temperatures, we can decorate for the ocassion. Stephanie decorated the Barony Parade House with some handsome Martin House gourds. I bought a collection of small and lively green ones for myself at the grocery store and put them in a hurricane. Gourds and their closely related siblings pumpkins, are visually interesting thanks to their variety in color, texture, and form. I’m particularly in love with white pumpkins and the fresh aesthetic they bring to the traditional fall decorating table. I had never seen a white pumpkin until the cover of Domino Magazine‘s October Issue. But now, white pumpkins seem to be more readily availible. You can see scores of them walking into almost any Harris Teeter. I found an article on the topic to be really interesting. Who knew that “white is the new orange?”

Parade!

We hope you got a chance to see the 2007 Raleigh Area/Wake County Home Builder’s Association’s Parade of Homes. The DLL crew is so excited to show off our hard work. We’re sure you found the three Design Lines Parade Houses to be something extraordinary. Here’s a few of our favorite things:

Color Schemes heavy on the Cream (I.E.: Mayonnaise cabinets and Gentle Cream Walls)

The second floor bathroom with the diamond shaped window at the Barony

Unexpected Metallic Turkish Ikat printed wallpaper in the powder room at Balmoral

The Red Kitchen Aid Mixer we purchased

Pops of color
