Fall Shelf Decor

I have a few spaces in our home that I enjoy changing for the seasons and holidays. This space is definitely one of them!

Hubby put this shelf up for me long ago.  I knew it world be perfect for this spot, and fun to decorate.

Sometimes I make only minimal changes or add just a bit of a holiday or seasonal touch.  

I've enjoyed using greens and golds this Fall season, they're two of my favorite colors so I'm happy they have been popular this year!

I’m just getting used to fall and pumpkins around here, although I’m beginning to see lots of Christmas inspiration that has begun.  There are many ideas floating around in my mind at the moment!

Fall Decor~Greens, Golds and Pumpkins

How is it the last weekend of October already?!  We’ve had a couple chilly mornings, but it’s been warm most days and there is still plenty of green outside.  My clematis vine even has new blooms on it!  We’ve definitely had some weather swings, but that is true to the South!

A touch of Fall over here in front of the window is a match to the greens and golds in the view beyond!  I found this beautiful heart shaped tin container at the thrift store, I love it all the more now filled with greenery and a Fall variety!

My happy heart loves a thrifty bargain, and anything heart shaped!!!

Happy decorating!...

Fall Wreath

I made something pretty for our front door today!  This lovely Fall wreath.  We are just inside the second month of the Fall season and some of the beautiful Fall colors are appearing outside.  

It's been so hot and dry here that I've wondered if we will even see much Fall color change before the leaves just dry up and fall off!

We have a storm door, so a lower profile wreath is needed due to the narrow space between the two doors.

I chose to use a simple wire wreath form and covered it with burlap/mesh ribbon folded in half.

Next I cut-off part of the stems from two floral picks, placed them in opposite directions and attached them and a pre-made bow, using floral wire.

It was simple, easy and low cost!  And, I can easily change the look for another season or holiday, too!

- Items List, Sources & Prices:

Floral Picks - Hobby Lobby 1/2 off =1.99 ea

Ribbon - Hobby Lobby 1/2 off =3.98 per 10 yd roll (Used appox 1 yard)

Wire wreath - Dollartree =1.00

Bow - from a recent gift pkg =.00

This will easily adorn my door until Christmas decor makes its way there!

I hope you've found this easy wreath inspiring and you'll make something pretty for your door too!

Happy Crafting and Decorating!...

Fall Centerpiece Basket

I created this lovely Fall centerpiece by adding some lamb’s ear greenery, sunflowers, and a faux pumpkin to this pretty basket I recently found at a thrift store.

The basket was only two bucks and it was already painted in a neutral color, which matches well with my decor.  I love it when that happens, don’t you?!

I always encourage others to have a look at the thrift stores and antique markets!  You never know what treasures you'll find!

  

~ I’ll enjoy styling this thrifty treasure throughout the seasons!...

Thrifty Fall Tablescape

It’s always fun to set a pretty table!

Those golden suede pumpkins were my inspiration for this festive Fall tablescape.

I pulled this fall setting together by using mostly $one dollar$ items and what I already had on hand!

The beautiful amber glass candle holders-with medal leaves attached, Fall florals-(tucked into the lamb’s ear greenery), plain & printed napkins, and burlap leaves are all from the Dollar Tree.

The adorable golden/mustard suede pumpkins are from Target.

Total cost was 10 bucks!

I shared my thrifty Fall Centerpiece makeover in a previous post.

I enjoy the challenge of not spending a lot to change up my decor!  “It doesn’t have to be expensive to make it beautiful!”

Happy Decorating!...

Fall Centerpiece

I recently did a little restyling to my thrifty centerpiece that I shared back in the summer, and now it’s updated for Fall!

I visited the Dollar Tree and found these cute auburn colored candle holders, each with a sweet little metal leaf attached to it! And, I also got some Fall florals to tuck into the lamb’s ear greenery I had on it before!

Just a couple bucks to transform and update it!  That's my favorite kind of decorating!

A glimpse of the before, after the original makeover.  See the original post here!

Next I'll be sharing a thrifty fall tablescape!  I'm off to do some shopping!

And, then it was October!

I’m getting into Fall now, even though we are still feeling like toasted marshmallows here with temps in the 90’s!  A change is eventual!...

I went to Target and I fell in love!  This adorable golden suede pumpkin, which some may call mustard, is making me smile today.  I love the beautiful color and it’s velvety softness! It’s possible I got more than one!

Be still my gold lovin’ heart!

I’m giving this beautiful gold pumpkin the special treatment under my cloche and atop a gold rimmed mini-goblet!  They match quite well, so I think it is gold!

~ Happy October!
