Signs of fall and resent projects completed!

Fall….oh how I love you….:) So this week has been hectic, but thanks to some little work and a loving husband, I have been able to begin decorating my small apartment to make Fall come alive.

First, a festive wreath for the door! I made it myself and it was a pain. :) The good news is that I can use the same base, but change the extra things to make it match any season and any holiday!

Next, I finally found a place for my book wreath; in the dining room. I think it adds a rustic feel to the room, which I feel adds to the fall. I would like to add a bow or something, but have not been able to find the right one to this point.

My dining room table! I made the pumpkin from vinery and used this tutorial and I think it turned out great! Added some berries, leaves and a small lantern with a fall Yankie candle and presto! Fall kitchen table. All together now!

Small but simple and adds something to the room. Still need something for the windows….hhmmmmm….

I even added some fall flare to the kitchen sink! :)

On the coffee table I have a small long black tray for the coasters, but add some leaves and another small lantern and candle and there you go!

Now….for my favorite part…the fireplace!

First, the bottom….

I had a basket from before and I filled it with my apples I made here, more berries, small acorns and leaves. Tied a ribbon and done!

Now the top….

Awesome right?

So….I got these two candle sticks from Craft Warehouse for 5 bucks each, added the pillar candles and some jute wrapped around. Then, last month I got these two glass pillar “cake-holders?” with glass lids. I had no idea what to do with them. They are hand blown glass and SO awesome. So….I put leaves and small white pumpkins in them and it was perfect. I am saving the lids for the Christmas decor…I am already coming up with good ideas.

Now… for the sign…

This is a trick sign. I was just so tired of making 2 or three of everything for each season, and so I had an idea….why not reversible?! This is the one side…

This is the other!

What do you think?! I was so excited how it came out and it was super easy! Just tape off the edges and paint one side, then after the paint dries THOROGHLY tape off the other side and paint again! Then add lettering and designs as you see fit! LOVE IT!

All together now!

Again, small and simple, but I am loving it!

So there is my resent fall adventures….OH, except for the 1/2 cord of fire wood we dragged up a flight of stairs and onto our patio, but it will be worth it! I love fireplaces!

HAPPY FALL!!!
