Kitchen Fall Decor (and a Few Extras)
Kitchen Fall Decor (and a Few Extras)
Hello my friends, this is a continuation of my last blog post “Living Room Fall Decor.”
Normally, I would try to combine everything I make for seasonal decorations into one blog post.
But this time around, it was as if something hit me over the head and turned the light bulb on….
Separate everything into different rooms/categories.
face/palm moment
So I decided to separate the living room and kitchen decorations into separate blog posts, but…
old habits are hard to break.
So I ended up adding in a few extra simple decorations that I have scattered in other areas of our home.
So without further ado…
Kitchen Fall Decor (and a few extras)
I made a simple drawing of yellow leaves on cardstock and placed it on a clear command hook on our countertop.
(I started with a pencil, filled the leaves in with a yellow color pencil, and with a hole punch I added some twine for hanging)
Small Cardboard squares wrapped in pretty napkins (above and below)….finished with pumpkin stickers (the kid in me)
Apologies for the blurry photo below, My photography skills need a little help, but I’m sure you can tell that since you can see me on the side of the fridge.
Something pretty to look at by the stove while I (attempt) to cook.
A single acorn in a champagne glass (I promise I’m not fancy at all, I had to ask my husband what type of glass I was using)
And a couple of acorns hanging out with a few small twigs of hydrangeas and white peonies in a pretty shot glass.
Both photos with the acorns are decorating our kitchen hutch. You can see a better picture of the hutch here
A blue candle…
wrapped with some twine and faux floral petals.
Pumpkins and glittery tinsel decorating my daughter’s room.
Here I took an old Dollar Store pumpkin and added iridescent color glitter glue to the creases.
A gold sequenced pumpkin with a few pearls, silver and gold beads, and a white faux flower all hot glued together.
A very simple fall bathroom decoration. Two black and white buffalo pumpkins.
I have to admit guys…
This photo is an impostor.
I wish I could tell you that it always looks this neat but that wall cabinet seems to always attract all sorts of stuff. Hair brushes, lotion bottles, makeup and all sorts of cute toddler hair accessories.
Please tell me your bathroom works the same as mine.
ok, that’s it…hope you enjoyed this!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way…May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Fall is such a beautiful time of year. The colorful leaves, the rainbow of mums, that slight chill in the air.
And those falling acorns, that I find myself trying to dodge every time I step outside. (haven’t been hit by one yet)
How can you not love it.
It’s the perfect time of year to admire our God’s creations.

DIY Pumpkin Drawing Wall Decor
DIY Pumpkin Drawing Wall Decor
I loved to draw when I was young.
I was interested in just about anything that was related to the world of arts and crafts….
Drawing, beads, decorating, pretty much anything to do with crafting.
But, as I got older, I slowly stopped many of those hobbies.
This blog has really helped me get back to my love of crafting.
So I took a chance at drawing again and decided to focus my doodling on something fall related.
In came the pumpkins idea…
I decided I wanted to have one pumpkin framed on the wall. Honestly, this idea started from a few innocent pumpkin stickers. I came up with an idea to frame some stickers that I had, but that didn’t work out quite how I wanted, so I figured why not draw my own pumpkins.
It took some time practicing, but eventually, I got it.
ok, let’s get started…
DIY Pumpkin Drawing Wall Decor
Supplies:
Cardstock (Rite Aid and Staples)
Scrapbook/craft paper (light blue and beige. I’ve had these for years. Probably purchased at Michaels)
Silver Stickers (Also something I have had for a few years)
Scissors, Sharpie fine point marker, pencil, ruler, and tape
As for the frames, I ended up using a couple of old frames that I already had on hand.
As I mentioned earlier, I practiced a number of times how to draw a pumpkin. Eventually, I decided to keep them very simple, as you see below.
I drew 4 pumpkins for each frame used, each one a different size. I then cut them out along with eight small green stems.
Then I finished with a few black lines using my sharpie marker and lastly attaching the stems onto the back of the pumpkins with my tape.
I later taped the pumpkins onto my white card stock.
Then I called for my husband’s help…
I’m kind of…No, I’m really horrible with numbers…and fractions…and anything to do with math. But I needed to find the center of my page so that I can easily center my pumpkins and stickers. Easy, right? Nope…
My frame had uneven measurements that made it hard for me to find my center point. So I got some help from my husband, who is much better at math, and science, and remembering really unnecessary/silly facts. Within minutes he had my center point and where I should start placing everything.
Now I have two adorable pumpkin frames to bring some fall joy into my home for the season.
Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Crystal Gem Summer Decor
Simple Crystal Gem Summer Decor
Have you ever taken a trip to the Caribbean?
I’ve been lucky enough to take a handful of trips to warmer climate areas before becoming a mom and I was always amazed at how beautiful the ocean waters were.
Beautiful clear waters…Incredible shades of sky blues and light greens….breathtaking!
Today’s simple summer decor reminds me of those waters.
It includes acrylic crystal blue gems with a pretty sparkle just like those oceans under the brilliant sun! They take me back to those beaches, if only for a moment here and there 😉
Combine those crystals with simple items like a candle, jar, and burlap ribbon and you have a simple summer decoration that anyone can bring together in a matter of minutes.
Let’s get started…
Simple Crystal Gem Summer Decor
As the title implies, this is really easy to bring together.
I’m using acrylic crystal gems from the dollar store, a white candle, burlap braided ribbon, and a jar from Michael’s.
I got my ribbon from the Container store on clearance but you can also find some on Amazon.
The one step that can use a little explaining is where the burlap ribbon is tied.
Here I’m using two strands of ribbon.
I started with one long piece of ribbon that I wrapped around the jar a couple of times, right under the lid, then I tied it off to the side.
The second strand that I’m using is a bit shorter than the first.
I ran the twine under the first twine, where it’s tied…
Then I tied that onto the first strand of burlap ribbon so that I get the effect of four strands off the side of the jar.
And there you have it! A simple crystal gem summer decor that’s easy to bring together….
And may just make you want to take a trip to a tropical paradise, or maybe just a nearby pool 😉
