Fall is my favorite time of year, my absolute favorite! I love the colors, the smell, Starbucks drinks, my favorite is Pumpkin Spice latte this time of year, I love to wear Jeans and long sleeves, I love sweaters, I love to walk with my boys in the cool air. I decorated my house for fall last week, I don't go crazy or anything, but I do like to surround myself with things that I love.
I have this candle on my table on a tall white candlestick year round, but i like it used this way on a leaf holder.
I love this sign, it hangs above my stove.
My pumpkin and leaf candy dish. I also used this decorating time to re do some of my existing decorations as well as bring in some of my thrifty finds. I put this fabric behind the glass on my china cabinet... It turned out great, it looks much cleaner when you cant see all of the things I keep inside. Now i think I need to change the color of the knobs... too minty now.
I found these candlesticks for $1.99 each at a thrift store. I loved the color and have learned that when I see something that will be perfect in my home, I definitely shouldn't pass it up. I have missed out on too many good finds before.
I bought this jar at the Farm Chicks Antique show last summer. Now I have on my table between those candlesticks. The lemons aren't in there anymore, my boys like to play with them.
A few months ago I found the perfect bookcase on our local craigslist. It was the perfect size, color, and style for my home. I loved it! But I am also cheap, and just didn't want to spend money. Since then I have regretted not getting it. It haunts me, every time i look at the corner of my living room that it should be sitting I think, I am never going to find a more perfect bookcase for my home. A few weeks ago My wonderful husband found this set of benches on craigslist, he knew that I would love them and that they would be perfect for our home. He was right, they are perfect!!!!I have the longer bench at my dining room table
The smaller one is by our front door. The tile is new, we are still waiting to get a tile saw so we can finish it. Micah is so handy! I love that he can do these things to our home. Eventually we will have a wood stove here, just have to get it installed and the bench will go in our mud room, which is non existent right now, but its perfect for now.
I love the bead board detail on these benches
Hi Lyndie!
ReplyDeleteI love your home and decorations! Everything looks so pretty! I too love the Fall season! It's such a beautiful time of year.
I'm just getting back into blogging, and so far it's been a lot of fun! Your blog is great! Thanks for sharing! HUGS!
The boys are getting SO big Lyndie! I am remembering why we called ourselves "twins" when we were teens. I look at the way you decorate your house and loving the fall season with a pumpkin spice latte wearing jeans and sweaters! I miss you tons! Life gets busy at times; I will call soon so we can see eachother. I love you!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am a Craigslist fanatic! Our kids room and play room are filled with awesome finds off of CL. I even found a dollhouse bookshelf from pottery barn that sells for $250, in the free section!
