Decorating for FALL... (OK... here goes...)
Hi there!
After a terrible week of "what ifs" (and back exactly where I was before that!) I'm a little bit more "me" again and, well, here I am, leting off some steam...
Well I have been doing a lot of "blog-stalking"... and that does cheer me up a LOT!
It seems the main theme is FALL, why not, since it is the Season! and I must agreeee, those houses look amazing. and it did give me a boost to try something chez moi!
Although, I must say that some of them made me wonder how much money people actually spend decorating for each season... Yes I absolutely love decorating my home and am always on the look out for new, affordable ways to go about it... and I give you that I have been known, once upon a time, to splurge on Christmas decorations, but fall? Really? But I'll tell you a little secret... I'm hooked!
So, you might ask, how did I go about it? No money spending and all that... Well, I started by the pumpkins! couldn't get any orange pumpkins for free, so I got the next, even better, good thing! I got white ones that my neighbor was going to throw out because he mixed the grains when seeding and ended up with white squash... Lucky me! After that, and after spending days playing around with them shifting them every single day, many times a day, to find them the right spot,a place that made me smile! I put them exactly where my heart was set on from the very begining... on the mantel (faux), of course! Then it was all about finding those candles (I knew I had somewhere), hit the outdoors for some autumn leaves, yes I have a park for a backyard so it didn't cost a thing either... (on the way to the park I had to cross the garden so I picked some roses...gorgeous!!
I follow, and look up, lots of blogs and the advice most of them give when it comes to styling your home or kick your decoration up a notch is to look through your home first, no spending yet, look if there is something that you can use or uptade that will give you the look you want without spending money... if not, well, shopping is such great therapy and if you can afford it... shop! I would!
