Find fresh ideas, colors at potterybarn.com - and end-of-season sale, too

If you're seeking inspiration to give your home a modest boost as summer moves into fall, check out the Pottery Barn Web site.

It not only offers a good end-of-season sale, but also features a Stylehouse area with virtual room tours, plus a section with lots of good Design Tips on such topics as how to make a small bedroom look bigger.

My favorite part is a fall color wheel showcasing a fresh palette of 28 Benjamin Moore paints that run the gamut from a striking Alfresco blue to dramatic red Caliente, complete with a "Why We Love It" section that shows the color in a furnished room.

I clicked on "Sparkling Wine," for example, and found a lovely dining room arrangement with a Benchwright dining table, Grayson chairs and an unusual wine bottle chandelier ($399) set against the soft, faintly blush-colored white walls.

Clicking on one color leads to another and, before you know it, you've got plenty of ideas to help transition your home from one season to the next.
