What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

October 1, 2013 By Meegan 20 Comments

Happy First Day of October!!  It’s time for What Meegan Makes Fall Tour and I am inviting you along!!  I can hardly wait to share my Fall Tour with you.  I mixed old and new projects, fresh and fake pumpkins, along with some ideas I can’t resist sharing with you on the What Meegan Makes Fall Tour.

So, whatta you say???  Let’s get this tour on the road!!

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

Welcome to our Fall Home…

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

AS you know, I LOVE my book shelves.  They are definitely a focal point in our home.  I have enjoyed adding some Fall decor to the book shelves and the whole house.

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

Pine cones and colored marbles in a vessel make me smile.  I get the touch of blue I like with the rustic and natural look of the pine cone.

Even a shoe mold needs a little Fall, too.  Don’t you think???

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

Using some blue jars, I am able to add rustic elements for a Fall feel and look.

I LOVE my Gather Banner.  It finishes off with such a good feel of soft feathers and again the rustic look with pine cones.

The artichokes are real.  They are dried and add a little more variety of color for my Fall look.  Filling my gold vase with more blue and turquoise marbles adds color and texture.

Pine cones atop my candle sticks along with a thrifted bottle are a perfect addition the the top of the book shelves.  The water can was a gift from hubby.  He likes the galvanized look as much as I do.  The cloche is a thrift find.  Pine cones seem to be one of the main elements in our home, don’t they?

Adding more blue bottles, my bling pumpkin, and more pine cones finish off the whole look of the book shelves.

The chest my grandpa made is topped with blues, greens, oranges, and reds.  Don’t you just love the insulator colors???

This cute owl was a great find at Target.  He looks cute on a candle holder.  Just perfect for the chest, right?

Sitting on my $15 coffee table, I couldn’t have my Fall tour without my book page pumpkin.  As you can tell, I like adding the blue marbles and pine cones just about everywhere.

This jar is one of my favorites in the house right now!  I had a strand of berries, wadded it up and literally crammed it into the jar.  And it looks crazy good!!

Any chance I get, I use my little bird bath.  I love filling it with glass drawer pulls, vintage keys, and a ceramic birdie.

Moving towards the kitchen you will see my Grandpa’s croquet box filled with various flowers, leaves and berries.  This croquet box is an all-time fave of my readers.  I have fun using my creativity to fill it for each season and holiday.

And now we have the kitchen shelves.  Since I don’t have a mantel, I love to use these as my mantel.  I can honestly say, this is my favorite part of our home right now.

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

Mixing fake and real pumpkins, with an acorn squash or two, a few berries, more pine cones,  and a wreath, I am in Fall Heaven!

The shutter was a thrift find.  I brought it home and made it vintage looking.  It is the ideal way to top off the shelves.

Can you see why this is my favorite spot??

The acorn squash sets atop a thrifted candle holder.  It looks like it was made for it doesn’t it??

What Meegan Makes Fall Tour

Thanks for joining me on What Meegan Makes fall Tour!  It has been a treat to have you here and share just a bit of my idea of what Fall feels like to me.

It is always a pleasure to have you here!   What are your favorite decorations and colors for this Fall???  I would love to hear all about it.

Thanks, again for visiting What Meegan Makes Fall Tour.  I hope you come back again soon.

Make it a terrific Tuesday!

DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner

September 18, 2013 By Meegan 23 Comments

Happy Wednesday, my friends!!  Has the Fall weather started creeping in your area?  It is turning Fall here slowly, but surely.  The temperature is still in the 90’s during the day, but the evenings are cooling off enough to open the windows. It is cool enough that I decided to add a few Fall decorations around our home.  One of them is a DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.

DIY Pine Cone & feather Banner

I had so much fun shopping for feathers to add to my banner.  There are so many varieties and colors.  I was looking for more of a natural feather rather than a Fall color like bright orange or red.

The components I needed for my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner were:

Jute

Feathers

Pine Cones

Feathers

Hot Glue

Scrapbook Paper

Stencils

Brown Sharpie Marker

DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner

There are a lot of pine trees around our complex, so the pine cones were easy to find.  Using hot glue I was able to add each component to make my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.

Using scrapbook paper, stencils and a brown sharpie I made my banner.  I like the word “gather” for this time of year.  Because as a family, we gather together often for Sunday dinners, Saturday soccer games, and we gather food to eat together.

DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner

I wish I knew what this little spiky balls are.  I found them under a tree at church one day, scooped them up and knew they would be perfect for my Fall Decorating.  Do you know what they are???

I love this scrapbook paper.  It looks aged and worn with a little blue and green for variety.  I was inspired by the Monday Blues to add blues and greens.  It’s a look I like so much.  Each separate piece adds to the look and feel of the banner.

I am really pleased with my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.  I love the natural elements for Fall.

So, what do you think?  Are you going to make a banner of your own??  What would yours say?

Thanks for stopping by today.  I am happy to have you here everyday.  I love reading your comments and try to respond to everyone.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday!
