Fall Decorating

Before I left to go out of town, I took some time to decorate my home for Fall.  I really prefer to decorate my house in a "Harvest" style versus Halloween, and then Thanksgiving.  However, I would really like to put a few fun touches out in future years for each holiday when I have more items to pull from for decorating.  This is a little taste of how my home decorating is coming along right now too.  I hope you enjoy!

My front porch!  I fell in love with this wreath that I saw on Pinterest.  It seems like a lot of people did too because it on a few blogs.  It was super easy and inexpensive to make.  When I started to hang it, I liked the pumpkins sitting on the side, so it's now got my flair on it.  :)

My new foyer table that I found at a family friend's yard sale (it's antique and beautiful!) I decorated it quickly before I left right after I brought the table home.  Excuse the cord, I was cleaning the weekend before I left, and snapped a quick picture.  I went ahead and put out my Thanksgiving items my mom gave me since I won't be home again until November anyway. I propped the mirror up in a hurry to decorate it, but I am thinking it might be too large for the table  It works for now though.  I made the wreath by wrapping a long garland from Michaels around a couple time to make a circle and then hung it with the leftover burlap I had.  I also put plastic pumpkins up under the table since I had them laying around and thought they would look cute and festive.  

 The kitchen table.  The candlesticks were a wedding present, the white ceramic pumpkin was a steal from Hobby Lobby last year for like $2 or $3 at the end of the season, and the burlap and pumpkins were bought at Michaels.

The sofa table in our living room.  I took a garland and cut it in half, and then put them behind the mirror and put the extra plastic pumpkins I had out in the front.  Excuse the lack of pictures, I am in need of getting them filled!

AND, if you haven't noticed...I went ahead and got my blog Fall spirit too.  I have had some experience with website design and graphics manipulation from college, so I have been researching how to design blogs.  There is so much information out there, but some of it is dense...and then I have to walk away for a bit.  But seriously, it's not really that hard to do!  I have had so much fun doing this!  I made my last design and it was my first.  It was a headache, but it went so much faster this time and I learned a lot of things that make it look more professional than the last one too.  I am working on a Christmas design right now and I am actually toying with making our Christmas card for this year.  It's so fun!  I just wish I could think of more things to do like this! Maybe I need to make some more blogs for my sewing or recipes just to be able to make designs! haha!  Have a happy day!
