Decorating the Workplace for Fall

I will try again today to post the blog showing my office at work.  I decided since we spend most of our waking hours at the workplace, we may as well make it as pleasant as we can.  This called for a quick run to Dollar Tree.

I've had this urn for a long time.  I filled it with paper then added silk leaves and a pumpkin from DT and tied a ribbon around it.  So simple yet festive.

Again, ribbon, hurricane, leaves, filler, everything purchased at Dollar Tree.  This is sitting on an end table in my office.

I placed an autumn leaves garland in the window sill and added various color ceramic pumpkins.

I bought this little flower pot a few years ago from Dollar General.  The gourds are from DT.

This is on the corner of my desk.  The swing arm lamp was from a consignment store ($5.00), the picture frame from the same store, and the pot of geraniums was bought recently at Good Will for about $4.00.

So, for very little money, I was able to decorate my office for the season.  Do those of you who work outside the home decorate your office?  It just makes it more pleasant don't you think?

  1. Yes, although I am now a stay at home princess, when I was in the workplace I always made my desk my own. Love your office all decked out!

  2. Since you spend so much time in the office, it makes perfect sense to make it feel homey or seasonal. Your urn topped with the mini pumpkin is cute; and the hurricane filled with leaves and the candle is very pretty. It's all done tastefully, too.

  8. Good morning! My office is at home. And I have manuscripts and writing projects piled everywhere on my desk. I might be able to glue a pumpkin to the wall or something!

    Yours looks so pretty! I love autumn...I miss the change of seasons living in Arizona.

  9. Back when I worked as a travel agent I had a cubical and did decorate it seasonally occasionally, like around the computer screen or cubicle walls. LOL! Not very well back then, but that was over 20yrs ago. I think I have improved since then and most jobs I've had since do include festive decor. You made your space very homey and festive looking, and for a great price too. I love it!

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
