My Fall Coffee Table

October 25, 2012 By Meegan 7 Comments

Hello, Hello!!  How is your week going??  I am so excited to share My Fall Coffee Table.  But, in the meantime, we are winding down with the wedding plans, and I am drowning in 2500 coffee filters!!   Just 9 more days until our son and his cute fiance are married!!  Wooo!!

In the meantime, I have been doing a little Fall decorating here and there.  I had so much fun refreshing this table in the Summer.

Joel Jones had given me a “$30 Challenge” and this is what I bought for starters.

 

I LOVE the results!!

But now that Fall is here, it was time to bring in the Fall colors and tones.

I started out with this orange pumpkin.  I really like it, but it doesn’t fit with the rest of the colors in our home.

So I did what any other DIYer would do, I painted her!!  Yep, I got some paint!!   I used the same paint that I used on the coffee table.  EASY!!!  I also took out the wreath, and added some book page cones like I used here.

My Fall Coffee Table

I added a few leaves from PB, some pine cones, a few of my coffee filter flowers, and some cattails.  NOW my coffee table  “fits” with our home.

Much better!! I just love my Fall Coffee Table It’s amazing what a little paint and a few book pages can do!!

I am also on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk and Stumble Upon.  I  am sure to see you soon around anyone of those!!  OR all of them!!

Make it a delightful Thursday!!

Thrifted Fall Decor Ideas

October 7, 2014 By Meegan 1 Comment

As you know I LOVE to go thrift shopping.  I am always on the look out for JUST the RIGHT items.  I found a few things that I could actually use as Thrifted Fall Decor Ideas.

I am excited to show you what I found and how I am using them for my Fall decor in our home.

I have already showed you how much I like to incorporate blue in my Fall decorations.  But, now I am in the mood for the traditional colors.

Thrifting can be addicting and you have to be patient while you are looking.  It would be easy to spend $ on things that you might not ever use.  BUT, on this shopping trip I found just the treasures I was hoping to find.

I “Fell into Fall” Mantel

October 11, 2012 By Meegan 10 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′]

We don’t have many little kiddos nearby who come over, so I wasn’t sure if I was even going to do any decorating for Halloween. With seeing all the cute and fun ideas around, I hopped on the bandwagon.   After gathering my Fall accessories I put together my: I “Fell into Fall” Mantel

Some of the items have sentimental value.  The “Happy Halloween” can was made our youngest son when he was in Cub Scouts.  Now he will be married in just a few weeks.

Isn’t the pumpkin so awesome????  I made it last year after a visit to Pottery Barn.  I KNEW I needed one!  I found a fake pumpkin (of course).  Painted it white.  Let that dry, then mod podged old book pages to it.  After 3 coats of mod podge, I let her dry for a few days.  I then sprayed silver glitter all over for a more expensive, stylish look.  The “trunk” is just stick I found outside.  I added a little green moss around the top, for a finished look.

Here is a closer look of this beauty!!

I also made the BOO sign last year.  I copied it, cut it out, then glued it onto black ribbon.  With glitter puffy paints, I outlined the letters.  So fun!!  The owl is from Target in the dollar section-score!

My hubby bought me the candy corn wreath, because I LOVE candy corn SO much!  I think the bat is cute, too.  The bear was a gift from a friend.  Don’t you just think she looks cute with her witch hat and collar??

This is a view along with my Fall Paper Decor.  Yep, I finally decorated my “Fell into Fall” Mantel.

Make it a wonderful Thursday!!
