I know, I know, Fall is coming way too soon for many of you. Some of us are still melting in the heat, some of us are busy getting our families back in to the school routine and some are just not ready to break out the sweaters and boots. As a result, Fall decorating may be the last thing on our minds.

But, I hope you’re still up for some great Fall inspiration (perfect for pinning) for when you are in the mood.

As promised, today I have LOADS of great Fall ideas for you!

5-Minute Fall Door Decor

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Julie

Simple, simple, simple. That is my decorating motto these days.

Life is just so busy with two kids and all of their activities, that I just don’t have the time I used to have to spend decorating for each season.

This spring, I found a cute metal bucket at Hobby Lobby that I have changed twice already to suit each season. The best part? It only takes me a few minutes and costs just a few dollars to update. You can see my spring version here and my summer version here.

I am in LOVE with this method of decorating my front door.

I re-use the same metal hanging bucket and two bunches of faux boxwood to serve as my base layer, and then I simply add a few bunches of seasonal faux flowers. (more…)

Fall Decorating

Posted on August 4, 2015 by Julie

I don’t know about you, but we are trying to soak up all the last bits of summer that we can around here.

We just arrived back home from a family vacation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and now the start of school is looming.

Fall is definitely nipping at our heels. While shopping yesterday, we noticed that it’s not just school supplies that are filling store shelves. Yes, fall décor is already here!

While I don’t want to rush things along, it’s clear that many of you are already pinning fall ideas, so I thought I would give you a quick look at some of my past fall décor if you’re ready to get those autumn wheels turning. And, for those of you that are following my marble story, I will finish that up later this week.

I love usually natural elements in my fall décor and last year, I found a way to do it while using some thrifty finds.

Thanksgiving Tablescape Ideas and Cookies

Posted on November 24, 2014 by Julie

This is usually a busy week for me. Both the kids and my husband are off of school and work and we are busy getting ready for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. (Of course, we’re trying to squeeze some fun in, too!)

Since we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house again this year we are getting our house in order. One of the nice things about blogging is that my Thanksgiving table is already set! It’s so nice to have that done before the big day so all I have to think about before guests arrive is cooking the turkey and baking the pies.

Today, I thought I would show you some of my past tablescapes in hopes that it might give you a little inspiration for creating a pretty and welcoming table of your own.

Even if you don’t live in the U.S. and are not celebrating Thanksgiving this week, I hope you might find some ideas for setting a table any time of the year.

I set this table last year. It’s more elaborate than I usually get but I was going for a Pottery Barn-inspired look.

I think the key to achieving their style is to have lots of layers, varying heights and a lot of texture.

I made my own no-sew cloth napkins for that table. They were so easy and very inexpensive.

The table below I set up this fall for a special fall meal. I tried something new by tying my silverware together with a little twine and placing them on top of my soup bowls.

The table below is set for this year’s Thankful at Home tour. This is how our table is set for Thanksgiving this year.

I love the layering of the plaid blanket, woven place mats, chargers and plates. My daughter is particularly excited about the “I’m Thankful for…” printables I made. You can download it here.

The following is one of my favorite tablescapes. It’s simple, uses non-traditional fall colors and it’s easy to set up in a few minutes.

If you have been around here for awhile, you know I have a thing for the color blue!

You’ll notice I use a lot of the same things over and over again. Let’s face it. Most of us are not wealthy, nor do we have a lot of storage space to keep several sets of china and dinnerware. For me, the key is to start with something simple like white plates so you can mix and match other patterned dishes or odds and ends that you find or already have.

I love mixing and matching!

When it comes to making a center piece, think LOW. You want to be able to see your guests, so keep things below eye level as much as possible. A tall candle stick or two isn’t a big deal, but a tall floral arrangement might need to be set aside during the meal.
