Easy, Classy Fall Decor

This fall has been super crazy! With my five children each in all different stages of life, (one in high school, one in middle school, elementary school, preschool, and a nine month baby at home), this fall has been the busiest ever!

So this year fall decorating needed to be fast and simple! So that's what I did! 

 I already had the three metallic vases, but knew I needed a couple more. (Remember, when displaying lots of accessories, look best when grouped in odd numbers.) I then found two matching metallic candlesticks at At Home store.

Next, I found these wonderful, white pumpkins from Target. (I loved that they were white because it brightened up the room- instead of normal dark fall decor.) The greenery, gold pumpkin and fall garland pieces I've had from prior years.  I put them all together and-voila!

Easy fall home decor with only a few pieces! So simple!

A Spooky Halloween Mantle

Fall is such a spectacular time to decorate any space! It's so wonderful to decorate for Halloween, next Thanksgiving, and then Christmas! My Husband I had so much fun decorating our fire place mantle- and I couldn't wait to share! Read below for all the spooky details!

Design Tip: When you decorate for a holidays you don't have to go out and buy a ton of decorations! First, look around your home for things you already have that could work. Incorporate your everyday décor and mix it with holiday décor.

For example, the large trunk and mirror in the back ground are my normal mantle décor. We just added the spider webs to them to make them look a little creepy. The candle sticks in the picture, I've had for years. They used to be black, but I spray painted them white for a fresher look. Now they're perfect for holding up a crawling spider. 

I found this darling banner and festive spider web frame at Michael's craft store. The banner came as part of a kit- complete with water bottle and cupcake wrappers- as well as other party décor!  I used two water bottle wrappers, layer on top of each other, to wrap around my glass jug.
