Fall Decor

I am not the most skilled when it comes to decorating my apartment, but this fall I was stung by the crafting bug. I think it is part inspiration from super crafty friends and part wanting a cozier apartment befitting a 30 year old.

Prior to this fall, this was my only Fall/Halloween decor:



 I always put small pumpkins or the funny looking little gourds in my trifle bowl.


This year, I added a few touches...

Only $4.75 at Kohl's After Thanksgiving sale last year!


While cleaning out a cabinet, I found 4 yellow candles. I did not need all of my glass jars for food storage so a coffee table centerpiece was born. I knew I needed something else, but I did not like any of the fall garland at the craft stores. While visiting Texas earlier in November, I found these cute little garland/candle rings. Love them!

And, finally...
My wreath. I'm going to try and get a better picture. It is black tulle with orange sparkly ribbon. It needs something (sparkly ghost, BOO!, etc.) but I have not found it yet. Maybe I'll find something at the after Thanksgiving sales, or I'll have to make something.

I'm not Martha Stewart, but I'm certainly giving it a try. The fun is the best part, right?

    Oh, I love the decor you added! It's so much fun to spruce things up for the season, isn't it? And that black tulle wreath is so creative!

    I made myself make the time for our fall decor this year... some acorn squash and pie pumpkins around the apartment (conveniently edible too), a few fall foliage garlands and spicy-scented candles... makes a huge difference!

    It is amazing how just a few things can create such a new feel. I am almost finished with my Advent wreath and Christmas decorations. I'll update with pictures soon.
