2017 Fall Decor Tour

I've made several trips to the GoodWill stores in our area, and have found some great bargains that I will share with you. My intention was to use neutral colors in my fall decor and not so much orange, but the orange creeped in anyway. Today, I'm sharing my fall home tour. We will start at the front door. This wreath already had some of the items painted in the light blue which matched the door. I made and added the mesh bow.

(This was bought at GW for around $4).

This metal tray was around 4 dollars prior to the discount, and I knew it would look good on the coffee table and having a low profile would not impede seeing the t.v. I stopped at two rustic items stores, and found the small stuffed green and orange pumpkins. The white ones are real, and the burlap ones are from the Dollar Tree last year. I found the antler at the GoodWill that had the tray, and the cotton stalk was in the same store as the pumpkins.

I added a a couple of faux tea lights to the mix. I like having natural items in the tray. Another thing I was happy to find was real bittersweet.

It was around $5 for the stems inside the pottery. The ring around the top is faux and I've had it a long time.

Last week I found these 2 runners for less than $5.

I was thrilled to find this shutter and hen pictures.

Then this week I found this matching plate.

I found the 2 chicken pictures and the shutter last week, and the heart shaped topiary, today.

These three matching flower arrangements were less than a dollar with discount, and I knew they would fit perfectly in this tray.

There were three of these large cloths. They were marked as napkins, but they are much larger than napkins, and were the perfect colors.

The mantel got a new look.

I moved the large arrangement to the dining table from the living room. It's been all over the house!

Fall items were added to the ceramic dough bowl.

This arrangement began in poor shape, but I kept adding this and that until I was satisfied with it.

The picture of the birds was around $4.00. It works perfectly in the sun room.

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. ...

The Great White Pumpkin

Ever since I saw the pumpkins made from clothes dryer venting hose, I have wanted to make one. It just so happened that we had some leftover vent hose in the basement, and while I was down there yesterday, I cut off a piece, taped the ends together with masking tape, and spray painted it white. I let it dry over night. This morning I brought it up and finished it. This project is another freebie, because I had everything needed to complete it. I wrapped a piece of cardboard tube from wrapping paper with jute string for the stem. Then all I had to do was stick the little sprig of orange and green in beside the stem, tie a piece of rust raffia on it, and it was done! This is a simple project, and only takes a few minutes. Once complete, I changed the coffee table vignette to include it. I placed everything in a consignment store tray I bought several years ago. I was already using the acorns and flower arrangement on the coffee table. ...
