Wooohooo!! I finally got everything unpacked from vacation and worked up enough motivation to go dig through all of our storage to find our Fall decorations. Just as I feared, they were buried. They were way under all of the Christmas decorations and Summer decorations. And, it's spider-land down there! Majorly eye-opening. This weekend, I'm Chris is setting off a spider bomb. But enough about the neglected basement...
I really thought I had a ton of Fall stuff, but when I dug it out... not so much. I had enough to decorate the house, but I would have like a few more gourds and pumpkins... maybe on my next trip to WalMart. Enought chatter... let's get down to the good stuff... pictures! (Hint: You can click on any of the pictures for a bigger view)
First things first, I had to get in the fall mood, so out came the pumpkin candles... yummy!!
The entry table got a few pumpkins and leaves. I worked at a church one fall as a secretary and one of the women there gave me the leaf light. I thought my lanterns looked Fall-like enough for me to keep 'em out.
I kept everything I had on the piano, but added some extras.
My name is Brooke Gillespie and I have a problem... I can't take straight pictures to save my life! My makeshift coffee table got a leaf place mat.
The front door got a little makeover, I haven't tackled the yard yet, maybe this weekend.
I changed out the sign on top of my window chalkboard.
I was gonna erase the chalkboard and write something Fall-related, but I couldn't part with the drawings from my two favorite boys, my nephews Brayden and Landon.
This is Landon's (age 7) flamingo... I really think that's way better than what I could draw.
This is Brayden's (age 2) kickin (chicken) :)
If I would have had enough pumpkins and gourds, I would have kept the basket on the table and filled it up with 'em. Alas, I ran out of pumpkins... so the big candle came out. That's okay, I love my big candle!
Some scarecrows gained a warm home by the fireplace.
The mason jars stayed, but got a little place mat upgrade.
Yes, I know these pictures are blurry. It was night time and I could NOT get the camera to focus. A few pumpkins, a scarecrow and some sunflowers made their way onto the bookcase.
And last and probably least... the side table got a new friend.
A few simple things added a cozy Fall touch to our house. I love the change of the seasons! I can't wait to make my pumpkin/ haystack/ corn stalk arrangement outside, and you know I'll post pictures ;)
P.S.- Spoiler alert... two of the pieces of furniture pictured above are getting makeovers soon....
Happy Fall Ya'll!!
