Fall Come Back – Fall Series #1

Hello, friends! Is anyone still around? Well, I’m back and ready to share my fall decorating with you. Are you ready? Introducing my fall inspired dining room, appointed in warm Autumn colors.

I apologize for being gone for so long. We didn’t have high speed internet, so it took forever to load pictures and it ate up all of our data. Finally, FIOS became available in our area, so now I am ready to rock and roll! Just in time for Fall.

Autumn is my favorite time of year, so I had to bring those vibrant colors in, into my dining room!

I’ve started to add blue throughout my house. I love the blue with the autumn colors.

I got a new dining set a few months ago, so I went with a white table.

I love Roosters, I bring them out every fall, and I added some fall floral picks to my greenery.

My old black hutch I chalk painted to lighten it up and so these items sit on one of the shelves.

I got my plates from Wegmans, and shhhh, don’t tell anyone, but they are actually plastic plates, ha! 😉

I placed a pumpkin at each end of the table.

These are my good ol’ Dollar Tree pumpkins I bring out every year and in this very basket.

This is a Fall Rooster I purchased from Hobby Lobby last year, he is perched in amongst the fall leaves.

I just got these plates from Pier 1 Imports.

If you have a cloche, grab some fall items and display them inside the cloche. It makes for a pretty display, I think.

I had to add some autumn bling to my display. Nights are very cozy at my house.

Here are three shelves in the center of the hutch.

I added two fall berry garlands to my chandelier.

I love adding Fall leaf plates….you’ll see more of these plates displayed in my kitchen soon.

Thanks for visiting and I hope each and every one of you are enjoying the summer!

DIY Spray-Painted Canning Lid Pumpkins + Video

Hello! Today, I am sharing a DIY project that’s not only fun to put together, but inexpensive to make.

Here’s how I made these pumpkins>

SEE *V I D E O* BELOW.

I love crafting projects and these are so simple to make.

I got all my supplies from Walmart. You’ll need the following:

Canning Lids, Spray-paint , Yarn to tie the rigs together once they are dry, Scissors, Cinnamon Sticks for the pumpkin stem, and a glue gun.

I spray painted my rings the metallic color first, let that dry, and then did a light coat of orange on the top. I tried to do a spotty job, as I wanted the pumpkins to have the appearance or variance of different shades.

So, some rings are darker in color, while others are lighter. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Once you get the rings spray-painted and dry, you’ll take your yarn and place the rings on the yarn like a bracelet. Pull them together in a circle and tied it tight, and then you can arrange your rings.

Next, you’ll want to hot glue three cinnamon sticks together for the stem, and then put a bead of glue around the base of the stem and place it directly in the middle of your pumpkin.

You can take the lid and spray paint it and glue it to the bottom of the pumpkin to have a flat surface, but I decided not to do that, I preferred it the other way. I just wanted to show you that you can do this, if you like.

You can add raffia and tie a bow around the stem, add some fall leaves and hot glue those around the stem, whatever you like. I kept mine simple and tied the yarn in a bow around the stem.

Aren’t these pumpkins cute?

You can leave the rings more open, or have them closer together. You can place burlap through the rings and have it scrunched inside which looks adorable, or even place some orange light through the rings and then move your rings into place.

Simple. Simple. Simple.

DIY Farmhouse Box – Decorated For Fall (Video)

Hi there! Join me and I’ll show you my new ~ Rustic Farmhouse Box that my husband built for me. Come see how I made this box a beautiful focal point and centerpiece for a table in my hallway.

B E L O W IS MY V I D E O

Sigh, I just love this time of year. I think I like fall decorating better than Christmas decorating.

Here you can see a glimpse of my farmhouse box. I intended to use it on my dining room table, but ended up going this route instead.

The candles you see here smell like pumpkin spice, the smell is divine. I love adding height to my decor, it makes the vignette more interesting to look at.

Cozy, Cozy. Cozy.

The pumpkins and gourds I found at Walmart and added them into the mix.

So there’s my farmhouse box decorated for Fall.

Thanks for visiting.

XOXO, ~Liz

No More “Cookie Cutter” Kitchen

Hi there, friends! Today, I would like like to share my new display cabinet in the kitchen. A cabinet to display things for every season!

I like to branch away from “cookie-cutter” kitchens. Why not personalize a kitchen to your style and decorating taste, right? So, that’s what I did!

I removed the cabinet doors and hardware, removed the shelves, and then ran to Home Depot for some spray paint primer, and some paint.

I purchased these shelf brackets from Home Depot to add some extra support.

I decided to go with Black paint, I thought it would look good against the warm colored cabinets.

You can see the paint is drying in the photo above.

I couldn’t wait to start accessorizing for Fall.

I started with the top shelf and began to layer things. I started with some green floral pieces and then added a fall garland to that. I placed a pumpkin on a pedestal and then added pumpkins, fall corn, and a fall berry garland to finish the look.

I added an Autumn sign, and below that shelf, a Rooster Platter and some pumpkins propped up on candle holders. Lastly, I placed an acorn and one more pumpkin beside it, and whala, project complete!

I am proud to report that my house is all decorated for fall. The only thing left to do is my “Fall Tree” but I will hold off a few more weeks. The house looks so warm and cozy, I have so much to share, can’t wait!

Thanks for visiting! XOXO, ~Liz
