Weekend Wrapup

Fall weather has arrived and I'm LOVING it! A cool 60 degrees is my favorite type of weather!  I've spent the weekend getting out all the Fall decor and sanding and painting the legs on some chairs we finally found for the kitchen table I painted a while back.  I'll share the story of the chairs with you in a later post when it all gets done, but for now I'll show you what I have out for the new decor!

 First off, I made a wreath for our front door.  I used the same grapevine wreath frame from my July 4th wreath, bought 4 bunches of flowers from the Dollar Tree

ripped the flowers off their "stems" and placed them all around the wreath.

 

I used the "Happy Fall Y'all" printable from It's A Crafty Life, cut off the boarder, and taped it to an empty picture frame to weigh it down.  The "leafs" on the printable are foam table scatters, also from the Dollar Tree.

I switched my Summer mantel out for this one

 

I made the banner with scrapbook paper and cut all the circles and letters by hand. The pumpkin on the left side is from Kohl's last year after Halloween, and all the figurines come from Dollar General.  The turkey votive holder also came from Kohl's last year, and the candles and candle holders came from my bridal shower years ago (yay for repurposing)!

I finally got that bookcase and console table I wished about in this post, and decorated them as well. 

The console for Fall, 

(you can't really see in the picture but the chair has a pillow that says "Boo!" , and check out the cute owls my awesome hubster picked up for me from Pier 1!

and the bookcase decorated for Halloween.

 

The "ghosts" on the 2nd to bottom shelf are glass light covers for a chandelier I picked up for $0.75 each at the local thrift store and colored ghost faces on last year.  They have battery powered votives under them and cast a cute glow at night!  The wooden sign up top is also a thrift store find for $1.75!  I covered the 6 books on the shelf with some scrapbook paper I had, and the rest of the Halloween stuff is all from clearance after the holiday last year from Big Lots and Dollar General.  

I threw some cute Halloween stuff on our dining room table

I made the pumpkin with a white craft pumpkin and some ribbon.  I just ran some glue dots up to ridges of the pumpkin, cut some ribbon to fit, and cut a tag using scrapbook paper and stickers to say "boo."

The lanterns came from this HUGE antique barn in Asheville, NC.  The table runner from, once again, Kohl's (seems to be a reoccurring theme in this blog post).

  

Did you spot the birds above my window?  They're up there year round, but can totally pass as Halloween-y too right? 

So there you have it!  All decorated, at least until the end of the month and Halloween is over...until then I'll be searching for some cute Fall bargains!
