Welcoming Autumn

Yay for Autumn, probably my favorite season of all. This is the first year that I have actually taken the time to decorate our home! I think what really inspired me is that we now have a fireplace :) Total game changer. I haven't gone overboard or anything but here is what's happening with our mantel.
I really enjoy natural looking decorations and ones that compliment the style of your home. To keep things subtle I purchased these yellow/gold leave branches from Michaels (50% off right now). I got 4 and layered them over each other. I also got a small bundle of natural wheat grass and weaved them into the leaves.
These 3 white ceramic pumpkins I found at Home Goods. They have LED lights inside so at night or when we have company over I turn them on to light up our mantle piece a bit! I'm on the hunt for a printable DIY fall banner to hang compliment it all so I will post another pic once I find one.

Along with pumpkin spice candles, candy jars and mini pumpkins here and there throughout our home; we also have a couple framed chalkboards in our living room and I ventured into chalkboard art a couple nights ago. Our chalkboards have been great because we can decorate them according to the current season….aother way we decorate according to the current style of our home :) Here's how I have 1 decorated for Autumn!

  2. You've got adorable handwriting! I love the idea of a giant chalkboard frame, cause like you said, it can change along with the seasons, etc! So so cute!!! I really need to get on the fall decorations before it's gone!

  4. I love Autumn too! I’m really excited about the temperature slowly dropping down, cosying up with blankets by a nice fire, drinking litters of tea… This is going to be awesome! Loving your decorations by the way :) Very pretty and classy. xx
