Fall Decor Galore!

It seems like we have something going on every weekend. Every. Single. Weekend. But this past one, my husband and I both desperately needed to have a low-key couple of days where we could just enjoy each other's company and let the day take us where it would. It was amazing. Between Friday night and Sunday, we enjoyed taking several walks, riding bikes, making some delicious food, watching a movie and some of our Netflix series (currently Prison Break), and of course, watching lots of football. We even managed to get our grocery shopping done! We also picked up some craft items from Dollar Tree and Michaels, and I put together a fall wreath, painted some mason jars, and put up all of our fall decorations, so I'm sharing the finished products with you!

Fall decor galore! 

I've been wanting to use mason jars forever to hold some of the flowers that I put out for each season. I saw some great ideas on pinterest to give them an "antique feel." Basically, we picked a couple of them up from Michaels and picked out a color that we thought could transition through each season easily (a sand color--we might paint some others in a fun color later!); then my husband used sand paper to give them some imperfections and give them a rustic look. I love how they turned out!

Finished jars!

And this shows how I'm using them with other fall decor to display the flowers. :)

I also love making wreaths! This one was so easy. We picked up the branch wreath from Michael's for just over 4 dollars (plus they have great 40% off coupons!), and then I picked out a letter I liked from there, as well. I wanted a bigger one, but they are always out of P's... guess our last initial is popular? I thought the sand color would go well with the fall wreath, so I painted that along with the mason jars. I bought the burlap from Michaels, too. I also picked up some fall craft items from Dollar Tree, like these fabric leaves, the mini gourds, and the strands of "Indian corn." At least, that's what they look like to me! I made a huge bow out of the burlap and hot glued that on first. Next were the leaves on the right side and the gourds on the upper left. I added the P on the right side of the bow, and I finally decided that it needed a little more, so that was when I added the Indian corn on top of the bow. There wasn't exactly a plan, but I think it turned out nice!

Ta-da! :)

We have a basket of candles that are placed on our coffee table all year long, so I added some of the fabric leaves under it to give it the fall festive feel, too. The rest are all just decorations I have from previous years! I love the "Harvest Welcome" sign that I used in front of the mason jars and flowers (see above) and the "Blessings" piece. They both came from Walgreens two years ago, and I use them every year!

Hope you are enjoying this time of year. I can't wait for it to get cooler, but I am loving seeing the colors in the mountains change. It's such a beautiful time! :)
