From editor in chief Diane Carroll: “My long-weekend plans include a little home redecorating, and all these patterns and colors caught my eye for fall. What fabulous styling too for these shots–how fun to see all those pillows piled up and the stacks of lampshades.” (“Harlequin’s Kallianthi Collection” from Bright.Bazaar)

From associate editor/online editor Paulette Pearson: “While every one else makes plans for a weekend on the lake, I’m dreaming of a get-together in this setting! The lights are surroundings are positively surreal. Perfect for end-of-summer nights.” (“Inspiration: Lights at Night” from Haute Design)
