Hello friends! Autumn has arrived here in central Ohio! This is my favorite time of the year. I love the cool nights and warm (not hot!) days. It's nice to have the windows open and the A/C off.
I have been working on decorating for autumn and finally have some photos to share.
I always try to use stuff I already have and mix it up for a new look. I added just a few new items this year. The 2 orange books are from a tag sale and were $1 each. The mini pumpkins and gourds are from Hobby Lobby. They were $4.79 (40% off). The glass vase they are in is from the Dollar Store.
Mini Daisy Faux Flowers - Dollar Store
Mini Pumpkin - From a bag of pumpkins & gourds - JoAnne's $6.50 (50% off)
Candles - Dollar Store
Faux Leaves - Dollar Store
Another thing I like to do is use items that can go from autumn to Halloween and then Thanksgiving. I'll just add a few jack-o-lanterns, bats and witches for Halloween and then some pilgrims and turkeys for Thanksgiving. All of these decorations will stay out until the end of November when I put my Christmas decor out.
I added a few pops of orange around the family room. I love the orange with the aqua lamp and pillows!
Isn't that owl the cutest! I found him at Marshalls for $7.99. They had a bunch of different colors but I decided to get the white one. A faux pumpkin, pine cone and candle complete the look.
The shelf that Handyman Hubby built is all decked out for autumn too! I love all the free subway art out there in blogland. Just print, pop in a frame and you have instant artwork. The little white owl is actually from a set of salt & pepper shakers. They belonged to my Grandma and she gave them to me a few years ago.
I'm almost finished decorating the front porch so stop back again soon for new photos!
