I think I mentioned a bit ago that I changed up our living room colors from reds/oranges/golds, to light blues and greens. Exciting stuff, I know.
So with the new lighter colors, I wanted to decorate for fall using lighter colors. My goal was to stay away from oranges and reds. Here is the post where I filled you in on where the inspiration came from for my fall décor this year.
The silvers, bronzes and golds must be “in” this year because I was able to find a ton of this colored stuff at Michael’s and HomeGoods!
Entranceway. Berry-vine-things from Michael’s.
Entranceway: I filled this candle holder with these dried mini-pumpkins things (I don’t know the exact name for them), and placed a candle on top. This mini silver pumpkin was also from Michaels.
Entranceway: This silver-mercury-glass-gourd I found at HomeGoods. I believe it was $9.99. I was able to find three different colors of these. It may seem like a lot, but I’ll get at least two months worth of use out of them every year and I just love that they’re different! I did the same to this candle holder as I did to the other.
Entranceway: Metal, twig stand from HomeGoods. White pumpkin from Michael’s.
Side table in living room: Gourd from HomeGoods. Filled a small, glass vase with mini pinecone filler (that smells amazing) from Michael’s.
Tray on living room table: I was all about spray paint, my friends. These flowers used to be a light green. I didn’t feel like dropping more money on fake flowers, so I spray painted them a copper-ish color. Silver teapot from a second-hand store. Gourd from HomeGoods.
Other side table in living room: I spray painted this fake, white pumpkin (from Michael’s) silver, used silver thumb tacks to make the “P.” Placed it on a silver candlestick holder I already had. Filled the green basket with some more of the mini pinecone filler.
TV stand: More gold, mini pumpkins (from Michael’s) on glass candlestick holders that I already had.
TV stand: Silver pumpkin on the right from Michael’s. I made the wreath hanging from the mirror (my favorite part!).
Wreath: I took a garland from last year that I already had, cut the leaves off of it, and spray painted the leaves in silver, copper and goldish-brown colors. Hot glued the dried leaves onto the twig wreath (from Michael’s). Wrapped what was left of the berry-vine-things around it. Looped brown, wire ribbon through the wreath, then tacked onto the back of the mirror.
Kitchen island: Mercury glass candle from HomeGoods.
Kitchen: Patchwork pumpkin from HomeGoods, last year. I placed it on a glass cake stand I already had and put some of the mini pinecones around it.
Kitchen: Lighted twig pumpkin from Target. I happened to find a matching patchwork pumpkin (on the right) at HomeGoods this year!
Bar: Glass pumpkin from Target, filled with the dried mini-pumpkins things. I’ll probably take them out and wash the pumpkin and fill it with some cookies (once I find the time to actually bake some).
This is our front door. I didn’t do much here because we’ve had someone steal things out of our front yard in the past. Sad, right? So the pumpkins are from Michael’s.
Hope you enjoyed it. I know I had fun with the process!
