Gabrielle Blair

Before her blogging career, Gabrielle was designer and art director in New York. Now she gets her creative fix seeking out, writing about, or giving away all things well designed. If she's not online, you can find her dreaming of sugary treats and doing cool things with her family.

After 8 years in New York and a stopover in Colorado, she currently lives in the French countryside where she and Ben Blair are raising Ralph, Maude, Olive, Oscar, Betty & Flora June. And eating lots of cheese.

Ever wondered what a true designer nursery looks like? I stumbled across this one from Lucas Studio based in L.A. and thought it would be fun to share. There are a lot of elements I love about this space. It's so impressive! Wouldn't everybody like to have a luxurious daybed in their nursery and a sitting area like the one pictured above?

Let's face it, carving pumpkins isn't the most convenient (or clean) of fall activities, so I thought it might be fun to gather together a few fun pumpkin decorating alternatives like those beautifully patterned painted pumpkins from Alisa Burke pictured above.
