We have a gorgeous and -best of all- EASY and quick DIY idea to decorate your home for Halloween. It has been published on Glitter Guide! (We’re blushing!) This fall, we’re pretty much into a softer, romantic color palette and so our stylist Camille & I thought it would be fun to create pumpkins for grown-ups this year! Because yes, Halloween can be more than cheap candy and scary jack-o-lanterns.

I know you guys are busy so this one is a quick DIY project that ANYBODY can nail in only about 15 minutes. Busy gals and overwhelmed moms – we thought of you.

What you’ll need to make your Pumpkins:

– Pumpinks: We’re really into white pumpkins and light minty green ones. We also found some soft peachy orange pumpkins at the market. They really create a nice palette together.
– Green Floral Foam spheres (these you can find at any gardening center)
– A bunch of flowers. You can get creative here. We’d love to see your arrangements! TIP: Go to the farmer’s market to buy your flowers, it’s cheaper than going to the florist.

This is our flower selection if ever you’d like to recreate this exact look:
– Blushing Bride
– Leucadendron Plumosum Spray
– Leucadendron Safari Sunset
– Amaranthus Hot Biscuit

(Decor elements: Our Boucherouite pillows here, baskets here, and ridiculously good smelling soy candles right here)

Step 1: Cut the top of your pumpkin, don’t make the opening too wide, only as big as you need for your bouquet.

Step 2: Remove the seeds using a large spoon.

Step 3: Immerse your foam spheres in water. Let them soak for a few minutes so that they’ll absorb as much water as possible.

Step 4: Insert 1 or 2 foam spheres inside the pumpkin. You’ll need one or 2 depending on the size of your pumpkin.

Step 5: Insert the stems into the foam balls to create your flower arrangement.

There you go! You have a gorgeous floral pumpkin. If you feel your flowers need more water, just add water inside the pumpkin.

Camille & I styled our friend’s Ariane reading nook with our floral pumpkins and we really love how it turned out!

Oh, and her fluffy cat, Rico, really liked them too apparently! 🙂

You can mix your floral pumpkin with uncarved pumpkins of different sizes and start decorating your entrance, or coffee table. You could also create a very pretty centerpiece for your dinner table. Thanksgiving is not that far away guys!

If you like the décor styling make sure to head to the shop for these gorgeous Boucherouite pillows, cutest baskets, cozy throws & leather poufs. That pretty gold chair is from C2b.

They really create a stunning romantic feel. How pretty would they be for a fall wedding decor too!! If you make some floral pumpkins, please tag us via Instagram, we’d LOVE to see your creations!

Have fun! – Stephanie

These pompom baskets, handmade in Marrakech, are one of my favorite treasures in the entire shop. I just think they are amazingly cute and I might also have an issue with pompoms. Hope you guys have the same addiction. Anyways, we thought we’d show you how much fun they could add to you decor. So here are 3 different ways to use them in your decor.

They just make the coolest planters ever. Add a little bohemian fun to your home and turn your pompom basket into a planter. I really love the look with this big plant called a Strelitzia Nicolai.

This smaller basket with pompoms makes the perfect cactus planter. How cool is this cactus by the way? It’s so photogenic, I love it.

Our pompom basket also makes the cutest toy bin for your nursery. If you have a little munchkin, you know a toy bin is a must. (so many toys on the floor all the time) It might as well have pompoms.

Tadam! The floor is tidy again!

This is a little sneak peek of my pink desk at the Baba loft. The bigger basket also makes a fun paper bin! Well, I would put pompoms everywhere if I could 😉 -Stephanie

We are having a fun little giveaway via Instagram, you should check it out! 🙂 PS: These adorable milk bottle rattles are now available in our Kids section. How cute are they? -Stephanie

We were so happy with our new Moroccan rug collection, we decided that in order to show you guys how cool they would look in your home, we needed to shoot them in a real decor so it would give you an idea of their full potential. This is when we decided to partner with this very cool Montreal-based company (which is making a hit in the US as well) called Breather. Have you heard of it? It’s such a cool concept.They have spaces (very cool spaces) you can rent for your meetings or for many other events like team training, small conferences, consultations with clients, workshops and hey!…photoshoots.The cool thing about Breather is that you can rent their spaces by the hour. So if you don’t have a space to run a short meeting with your clients, they have the perfect spot. (Click here for 1 free hour with coupon code BABASOUK)

I don’t want to lie to you, it was a heck of an adventure! First of all, we had to pack everything, bring all sorts of Baba treasures along with us, so we were not traveling light, if you see what I mean. To make things even wilder, we could not decide which Breather space we preferred, so we tried 3 different spots in 1 week! (Ok…that’s like moving 3 times in a week, without a guy with strong arms!) But, anyway, now that the sweat is behind us, I can say we had so much fun and it was totally inspiring. Here are my favorite rugs from our new collection snapped in Breather spaces. I think it’s so cool to see them in such modern, well-designed spaces.

This azilal Moroccan rug was photographed in this cozy Old Montreal Breather space on St-Nicolas Street.

Same spot, different rug. How cool does it look combined with this mint lamp and chair? The mint chair has been on my mind ever since.

We had no luck with the weather the morning we shot this stunning berber carpet… but anyhow, it was so colorful that we forgot it was pouring rain outside! This super intimate Breather spot is hidden in the up-and-coming St-Henri, Montreal neighborhood. A super quiet spot for a meeting with your co-workers.

One of my very fave rugs from our new Boucherouite collection looks stunning in this equally mouth-dropping Breather space located right in downtown Montreal. I highly recommend this spot. Breathtaking, really.

One thing I really enjoyed about teaming up with Breather is that they have an eye for good design. The chairs, tables and accessories in their spaces are so good that we didn’t have to worry about finding the perfect furniture. I have a huge crush on the chair above. How cool is it paired with this stunning Moroccan rug from our new collection?

I can’t finish this post without saying a huge heartfelt thank you to my favorite stylist and precious collaborator, Camille (That’s her!) She totally rocked with this crazy idea of mine. Thanks girl, I know I’m a bit over the top! 😉
