Halloween's just around the corner. While I don't do much decorating for the holiday besides the standard pumpkin carving, there are ways to add a spooky mood to your home without sacrificing your style.

When I spotted this photo of tennis player Ana Ivanovic of Serbia, who was playing at the Kremlin Cup, I was struck by its beautiful striped pattern. Of course, stripes are innately sporty. They show up on basketball jerseys, on the lines painted onto tracks, and on the racing silks of jockeys.

In some homes (um, including my own), the fireplace mantel, which is often the main focal point in the living room, is piled with photos, candles, coasters — you name it. While it's a logical place to display knickknacks and mementos, often this excess can look cluttered. On the other hand, a spare mantel often looks naked.

Hi, Casa!
A friend and I are moving into an apartment together, and we're facing the challenge of decorating and furnishing it. We'd both like to figure out how we can mix vintage, Ikea, and new decorations and furnishings and still make things look good.

I'm a fan of this photo in theory — it reminds me of the mix of patterns employed in the interior design of my favorite San Francisco tea house, Lovejoy's. Like this photo, Lovejoy's blends jumbled textile patterns and mismatched china to create an eccentric, fun interior. This funky mix of patterns is perfect for an hour of cucumber sandwiches and Earl Gray.
