Living Room Fall Home Decor
Living Room Fall Home Decor
It’s that beautiful time of year.
Leaves are falling, there’s pumpkin and apple cider flavored temptations everywhere…
and the days are chilly one day but warm and sunny the next. (I never know how to dress this time of year)
It’s also a time that I can find to be kind of stressful sometimes.
There’s so much that I want to do right before and during the holiday season, but rarely find enough time to do it all.
Can you relate?
But, despite the stress and busyness…I love fall!
Hope you enjoy my simple fall living room decorations!
Living Room Fall Home Decor
This next one is very subtle fall decor with a few dried leaves that I added glitter glue to and then wrapped a white candle with three strips of brown-toned rhinestones that you can find at dollar stores.
I shared a picture of this area in this blog post back at the start of fall when I was first starting to transition to my fall decorations. It’s an area right on our TV console, as you can probably tell with that big black rectangle in the back. I really like decorating this area every season but try to keep it simple so my husband doesn’t complain that he cant see the TV! 🙂
Small glass pumpkins and faux leaves by the window.
I have owned those gold and bronze pumpkins probably for about 10 years now and I love them, they come out every year for fall. This clear pumpkin down below is a new find that I just picked up this year. I love it just as much as the other two.
Do you keep decorations around for years and never get tired of them too?
How I love faux flowers….and checkered anything.
Some glue and gold glitter dusted onto a few old pine cones…
Mingling with gold acorns in a small round vase, AKA fish bowl…minus the fish 😉
Four beautiful branches of faux leaves from the Dollar store…
Dollar Tree tray and ribbon with a few gold toned beads at the bottom of my vase…
and faux berries wrapped onto my branches…
For a very simple but oh so pretty fall centerpiece.
Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
Simple DIY Fall Wreath
Simple DIY Fall Wreath
Do you ever look at something that is normally considered junk and wonder, what can I do with that?
I do that all the time! Empty bottles, cans, shoe boxes. I always try to repurpose those items.
So when I managed to turn a shower cap ring (the plastic rings that sometimes come in a new shower cap) into a wreath I was oh so happy!
Simple DIY Fall Wreath
For my wreath I’m using the plastic ring that sometimes comes in a new shower cap. Usually shower caps that you find at dollar stores have them.
I’ll give you a moment to laugh at how funny (and cute) us girls can look in a shower cap 😉
ok, I started my wreath by wrapping twine around the ring and adding some hot glue along a few areas.
Then I added some faux leaves with hot glue and some twine to make sure they stay in place.
Next I hot glued some orange faux berries. If you notice, I added a large amount of hot glue to give the area some height so that my bow in the next step doesn’t look too sunken in.
And some extra berries at the end to add some extra color.
and that’s it!
Ok friends, that’s it for this one…

Transitioning to Fall Decor
Transitioning to Fall Decor
I’ve slowly been transitioning from summer to fall decor for about a month now. By slowly, I mean I’ve been moving veeery slow!
I always have a hard time switching from one season to another. I’ve probably already mentioned this but, I never want to let go of the season we are in and all the beauty it has to offer!
Summer brings on so many beautiful bright colors, gorgeous sunny days, fun beach trips, turquoise jewelry (so perfect for summer) oh, and of course ice cream!
But then there’s fall. Oh fall!! It comes with a rainbow of colorful leaves.
Mustard yellow, warm wine, pumpkin orange, and comforting caramel colors…
It’s magical!
How could I not want to hold on to that for as long as I could 🙂
So it’s either I hold on to my ice cream cravings a little while longer or move on to collecting colorful leaves at the park.
A true dilemma.
Do you feel the same way? Is there any time of the year you have a hard time letting go off?
So for the most part my home always has a mix of seasonal decorations whenever I’m switching them out and this time around I thought it would be nice to take pictures of the areas that are slowly transitioning into fall and share them here with you.
The changes are mostly simple and subtle as of now. Bringing out old fall decorations, exploring with a few new finds here and there but hopefully things will fully come together soon!
I cant wait to share the finished look once I’m done.
Transitioning to Fall Decor
A white and brown acorn meets a floral vase that I had out for summer.
I placed a few ivory flowers here on our TV counsel. Now, I know these flowers are not traditional fall decorations but there’s something about the ivory mixed with the red and yellow that makes me feel like they work for fall.
I’m not sure what I will end up doing with this spot but for now this works perfectly!
A basket full of pumpkins sits on my floor waiting for a more permanent spot.
Who ever said stickers were just for kids! Here I used three apple stickers to decorate in my kitchen. Then I finished the frame with a few layers of handmade bows that I glued on.
My table is a magnet for unfinished projects.
Here sits a simple wreath that I’ve been working on for far too long and colorful berries that I admire everyday and wonder what I might do with them.
The simple things are truly the best!
A salt shaker with a few sprigs of foliage that me and my daughter picked up before the summer started.
Ok friends, that’s it for this one…I hope you enjoyed it and were inspired to put some fall decorations up in your home too!
Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
How I’ve Been Using Mason Jars in my Kitchen
How I’ve Been Using Mason Jars in my Kitchen
These simple little glass jars are used for so many things.
Home and wedding decor, floral vases, makeup brush holder, overnight oatmeal…and of course, I can’t leave out this little super stars original use, to preserve food.
It’s the humble but oh so popular, mason jar!
I love using mason jars (or any recycled jar for that matter) for floral decorations around my home. They are so easy to work with and always turn out so pretty. But today I’m sharing a few simple but very useful ways that I’ve been making use of them around my kitchen for the last few months.
Let’s get started!
How I’ve Been Using Mason Jars in my Kitchen
Knick Knack Container:
I realized that I was always looking for basic items when I’m in the kitchen like scissors and pens. So for a few months now I’ve been keeping those items right on the countertop in a mason jar next to my coffee machine. It may not be the usual spot where scissors and pens may be stored in a kitchen but having them so handy has been really helpful since I’m always writing out to do’s or shopping lists in the kitchen and opening up packages.
This youtuber that I’ve watched for years, Tiffany D, once mentioned how when she organizes around her house she keeps things where she knows she is using them as opposed to organizing like items together. Like maybe storing your hair appliances in the bedroom as opposed to the bathroom, like I do, because I know that that’s where I like to use them.
Baking Soda Container:
I occasionally like to use baking soda to give my sink a good cleaning but I’m usually lazy about reaching for it under the sink or where ever else I would store it. So I needed to make it really easy to get to when I needed it (especially at the end of the day when I’m usually tired and wanting to get to bed 🙂
A mason jar has worked out perfectly for my baking soda.
Vege Oil Container:
I’ve been using a mason jar as a temporary container for my vegetable oil. I had to get rid of the bottle I was using for a few years now because it was getting really yucky in certain areas that I couldn’t get into to clean properly.
I’ve been meaning to buy a new oil container but honestly, I kind of like how the oil looks in the mason jar, so I’m not in too much of a rush to replace it just yet. And what’s nice is that it’s easier to keep the mason jar clean compared to my old bottle.
Left Over Coffee Container:
I always have coffee in the morning (thank the good Lord for coffee, its so yummy) and sometimes I like making extra coffee for the next day. I find a glass container to be perfect for storing my coffee, it doesn’t get stained and keeps my coffee fresh for the next morning.
Just an extra fun idea: My husband was actually using a large glass jar a few months ago (not a mason jar but something very similar) when he was having an iced coffee kick. He would make a big pot of coffee or have me make it for him and we’d put it in the fridge so that he had iced coffee for a few days to take to work in the morning. Surprisingly, it always tasted fresh!
Ok friends, well that’s it for this one! I hope you enjoyed my 4 simple mason jar uses in my kitchen. If you have any fun or interesting way to use mason jars in your kitchen, or around your home please share in the comments below. I’d love to hear it!
Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
