As you can probably tell from my recent posts of my Fall decorating, I'm not a fan of orange! Here are some photos from my favorite inspiration store, Through The Garden Gate:
Check out this hand painted bucket! They have several resident artists who create one of a kind lighting, art, and other decorative and functional home accessories. Last year they had a wingback chair painted like a jack-o-lantern. It sold almost instantly!
Several times a year, the shop closes for a solid week to re-set the displays and change seasons. It never fails to amaze me when I go the open house following their week of hard work.
Here is her all white room. I love all the variation of texture! It's certainly never boring or cold despite the lack of color.
I've got some close-up shots of the little touches of Halloween in this space, as well as a very vintage-inspired Halloween post from another part of her shop.
I've got lots more photos of Through The Garden Gate, as well as more photos of my Fall decor!
I'll be back later this week with more goodies!

Everything looks so nice :) Inspires me to tear up my rooms and start all over :)
I love this look, so shabby chic. I never get enough of this. Great photos and inspiration.

love it...i really don't care for the oranges!
I really AM an orange/rusty girl! This is pretty but I need some color:):) But everyone has their own taste and I love that!!!! CUTE shop! XO, Pinky
Very nice! Love her display areas and what fun to see it firsthand (as you do). I used to be all "no-color" for several years. Now I am back to using some Fall colors here and there. Especially in the Midwest all white sometimes feel a bit cool (like our awful weather)! I can't wait to see your next post! Hugs- Diana
Mikey I love the non orange look! I just happened to have a lot of orange fall decorations.I used what I had. But if you notice on my dining room table there is not too much orange going on there.
Love your photos!!
I visited the shop a few weeks back and bought two paintings which I posted on my site. I love the place, very friendly people. Looks like another visit is in order. I do like a little more color for myself like burnt orange and deep purple. Love the pics, especially the pumpkin painted pail.

Beautiful.
I would love to be able to visit Through The Garden Gate!
Nice! I always love white on white, though living with all boys and young ones at that, I don't think I am brave enough to do that.
Thanks for visiting and leaving suggestions about my jars! I am going to follow you. I hope you reach your goal.
Love the neutral autumn decor, Mikey. Great post sans orange!
I can't wait for more goodies this week!
Mikey,
Your store displays look wonderful! I love white more than ever!
All the best,

Wow, What a way to make an Autumn statement! I Love how this was achieved without any orange., or common fall colors. Stunning arrangement.
There's alot of creativity going on in that room! It's so interesting and unique! :) Luv it!

I love the all white!! Sooo pretty!! Vanna
I think orange is my least favorite color--though I like it in other peoples houses and I know it is the color of "fun" but I'm with you..orange isn't my thing. Everytime I see a white pumpkin I feel like thats me. Thanks for sharing!
Your whites are delicious and totally divine. The room is so artistic and creative!
Thank you for linking to Potpourri Friday. I really appreciate your participation!
Mikey...I love your photos, so inspiring! I also do not care for orange. I love this white on white it's just so calming and beautiful.
What fun to find a man on blogland! I did a double take when I saw your profile :) You are the first I have found and I love, love, love your blog. I will be back for more!

I love the all white decor too, but I would miss the orange pop too. What's a girl to do? I have a neutral background with the orange pops! I pinned the white pumpkin on the tin--love it.
