Decorating Ideas

So I got a little antsy and decided to start blogging again quicker than I had anticipated.

I've been going Etsy crazy lately, and have started planning what kind of decor I want to have in my new apartment.

Fall is my favorite season, so I plan on having a lot of fall-ish items in my apartment year-round. I like the colors yellow, dark gray, maroon/burgundy and burnt orange, so most of what you will see will be in that scheme.

I'd love some ideas and suggestions from you.

I want a collage of some of my favorite geeky things in print/embroidery. This (from "The Princess Bride") and the following would be in a grouped style on a wall to be determined.

This is the eccentric Log Lady from one of my new (to me) favorite television shows, "Twin Peaks". The show ran from 1990-1991 and is one of the more interesting television series I've ever seen. It's on instant watch on Netflix, if you're into shows that are dark, mysterious and very, very clever.
The print and the embroidery are both great, but I can't decide which one I like more.

I have purchased this already from 79totterslane, an Etsy seller that I also follow on tumblr. She's a "Doctor Who" fan, where this embroidery is from, and makes adorable crafts!

Although expensive on Etsy, I want to make this and the items in the next picture myself. I love mason jar decorations and distressed paint work.




My boyfriend's mother can sew (and is about to start teaching me), so I will be able to make this for myself at some point, but this pillow is adorable.


These prints are from The Black Apple, and the artist has appeared on "Martha Stewart" for her doll-making. These prints are my favorite of hers (I'm a fan of bird prints, so these were a natural choice), but I would like at least 3 for another grouping. I have about 5 "favorited" on Etsy, and am trying to decide what else would go well with these. 
If anyone has been to my current apartment, they would know that I have a candle closet. Yes, a closet full of candles. I am obsessed with them, and a good portion of many paychecks that I receive go toward candles and candle holders.  This one is absolutely my taste.

I love everything you have featured! I seriously think you can create the mason jar decorations (or at least something similar).
