Today I would love to share with you all the fun fall stuff I have in my home! Although I don’t usually go over the top with fall decorations, I’m saving myself for the Christmas explosion that happens in every room of my home… almost.
Although I love fall, I’m not usually ready to give up my summers.
This year I’ve taken a simpler approach to the season. I have made a lot of our décor out of garlands, found things (like pinecones) and decorations that I have used in the past.
I have painted inexpensive foam pumpkins, and am in the process of making a fall sign for the front porch (more on that to come).
I think it is so fun to come up with original décor out of things you already own.
Like the wreaths I have hung on my French doors in the living room.
I used two plain grapevine wreaths and attached leaves and berries cut from a fall garland that I bought last year, after season, for two dollars each! The wreaths themselves were seven dollars each after season.
Aren’t they great?!
I also did something similar for my front doors. I added some found objects such as these pinecones.
I bought a small bag of tiny pumpkins that were painted metallic. I painted over them with acrylic paint for a more “natural” look.
And some of the pumpkins I left metallic! I think the combination looks great with my behemoth copper pumpkins!
This family of pilgrims just makes me smile. A little kitsch to remind me not to take myself too seriously. 😊
And of course, my dining room table centerpiece. I bought so many fall garlands last year, ya’ll!
Can’t forget the buffet! I think coastal goes with any season don’t you?
However you decide to decorate your home for the holidays, make it fun and include all family members. Construction paper pumpkins and black cats use to adorn my home. I kinda miss those days.
