Foraging From Nature to Enhance Your Rustic Cabin Decor



 Now is the perfect time to enhance your rustic cabin decor and vintage style with natural elements you can find in your own yard.  Pink Pig's apothecary jars, mason jars and other vintage vessels are perfect receptacles for simple arrangements that make a bold statement.
Grab your clippers and a basket and stroll through your garden or yard with an new outlook on the flowers, plants, shrubs and trees that are there.  Look for natural elements that emphasize shape, color, texture and a bit of whimsy.  Late-blooming flowers, colorful foliage, dried flowers, evergreen branches, berries, pine cones, seed pods and small branches with interesting shapes make great accents for arrangements.
Use them indoors in small vessels to add a fresh look to your home for the fall holidays, or outdoors in larger pieces such as our vintage wooden crate or antique wooden caddy to make an eye-catching statement at your front entrance.  Check out our website at http://www.pinkpigwestport.com for endless possibilities for your unique style or contact us at for advice about creating a natural look for your home.
There's no limit to the unique looks you can create when you find inspiration in nature!

It's Time to Decorate Your Home for Fall



As the trees display their vibrant colors and the air turns crisp and cool, fall can be a season of change for the inside of your home as well.
Whether it's a matter of adding some throw pillows, finally having the time to do some repairs, or painting an entire room, we found this article with some great ideas from three home decorating experts.
That back-to-school vibe is in the air, and even if you're not a student, you might want to create a space for reading or pursuing a hobby. Any quiet alcove or area can work. If possible, utilize natural light. For example, a window seat makes a perfect reading niche:
If you don't have one, pull a large, comfy chair up near a window with a small side table that can hold your laptop or a book and mug of hot coffee. If the table has a drawer, you can keep necessary items on hand. Otherwise, keep a decorative bin or basket nearby.
For painting or accessorizing, you can't go wrong with classic fall colors like gold, burnt orange or brown. Autumn flowers such as mums, or even a branch from a maple tree can be displayed inside or out to add a splash of bright color and enhance your decor.
When making design changes, don't forget the big picture. After a busy summer of wear and tear, your home might need some touch ups. Maybe door frames or baseboards are scuffed, the floor needs to be polished, or carpets are in need of cleaning.
Finally, fall reminds us that the upcoming holiday season is not far away. Now is a great time to polish silverware and prepare your dining room for any entertaining you have planned.
In the midst of your fall decorating, check out Pink Pig where you can find unique furniture, home decor, and accessories that reflect your personal style. Contact us for more information or to find that perfect fall accessory for your home.

Happy Fall from the Pink Pig!
