Sharing Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins, please

November 3, 2019 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

…until Thanksgiving that is!

I am a little late to the Autumn/Fall game but I thought I would share a few spaces with you that are still dressed in all their orange glory.  Look, I love Christmas as much if not more than most.  I’ll admit, with most of my home decor projects, I always have Christmas in the back of my brain somewhere. For example, when I buy new to me furniture from Goodwill, it’s on my mind, Will my tree still fit in the room? Will the new lamps look good with the Christmas tree? Will that color look awful at Christmas time? You get the idea.  Now, having said all that, I still wait until after Thanksgiving to start decorating.  So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy my Fall pics while the rest of Pinterest and Instagram are full of snowy white, beautiful Christmas trees with twinkle lights.  Full disclosure, I am all over the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas though! Now on to Fall decor which will stay up until after the Thanksgiving turkey has been consumed.

Copper ladles bring Fall Touches

First up, these copper ladles I found at a consignment shop. I knew if I got them, I was going to add them to the hooks on the vintage buffet in the dining room. It’s the things that I go back and forth on buying that  end up being my favorite finds every. single. time.  I will leave these up year round.  I like the copper touches in the dining room.

I added white pumpkins and greenery to my dough bowl.

I added a few Fall touches to my dough bowl that I’ve had for many years which happens to be a consignment shop find as well.  Another budget friendly item I used in my Autumn decor is the white pumpkins that I picked up at the Dollar Store.  Although, they did not look like that when I found them.

Faux pumpkins from the Dollar Store

(Dollar Store Pumpkin)

The first thing I did to these faux pumpkins was remove the fake flowers and berries.  I did save the stems. I gave them I quick coat of chalk paint that was completely dried out. (Just add water and stir, stir, stir) I reattached the stems and added some Spanish Moss that I had on hand from Michaels.

Sharing Fall Ideas through Thanksgiving

A basket full of pumpkins!

The basket was another Goodwill find that I absolutely did not need. When I came home from my Goodwill trip the hubs was home and I was not about to let him see me carrying yet another basket into the house so I hurried up and hung it across the dining room chair. Quite honestly, I forgot the thing was hanging there hiding from my hubs since we only use the dining room 3 times a year at best. So that is how the Goodwill basket came to rest in the dining room.  I completed the look by adding some pumpkins! (Side Note…I did completely scrub the basket with hot soapy water and let it dry outside.  I had a four hour window to get it done one day while said hubs was golfing)  I am not sure what our Thanksgiving plans are yet but if I do cook and we have dinner in the dining room, I’ll let you know if the hubs notices the basket!

Dried gourds and leaves in a basket for Fall

Hmmm, another basket that has been hanging out in the dining room.

Mini pumpkins in my office

I scattered mini pumpkins throughout the house.  I switch things up a bit from year to year but not too much.  I like the memories associated with all my pieces especially now that I have zero trick or treaters in the house.  It brings back memories of when the boys were so excited to get out there and run door to door.

You can see my post from past years here and here. In the last link, you can see my DIY sign for Fall that I used again this year.  I also added my Goodwill pumpkin candy dish.  Other than that I kept the kitchen relatively  simple by adding candles and mini pumpkins to my tiered trays.

Off the back porch, I added smaller mums and mini pumpkins to my green plant stand.  Another secondhand find.  This one comes from my home town which makes me love it even more.

Vintage plants stand decorated with the colors of Fall

Well, that’s all I have to share of Autumn leaves and pumpkins (and a few hidden baskets). Coming later this week, I will share my updated sunroom space. Whether you are decorating with pumpkins or Christmas trees, I hope you have a great week.

Until Next Time,

Welcome to my Fall Home Tour

October 21, 2018 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I feel like I am behind on the Fall bandwagon.  Before you know it, it will be time to get out the Christmas decorations. Not that I’m complaining but I need to get moving! With all the traveling we have been doing, my motivation is a bit lacking!

Today, I am sharing a mini Fall home tour.  I don’t typically go out and buy new decor every year.  I like the tradition of pulling the old out and reminiscing.  Having said that, I did decide to part ways with a few things that were no longer my style.  I offered them to my oldest son for his apartment but he said thanks but no thanks. I will admit, there was a wee little wince when he said no. I think some of my most treasured memories with the boys are the ones of us decorating for the different holidays.

Welcome to my fall Home Tour

I made this Hello Fall Welcome wooden sign like my DIY Christmas sign.  You can read about it here. I asked my husband to draw the truck for me and I used carbon paper to trace it onto the board. I think adding DIY signs is an easy way to add decorative touches for little to no cost.

Welcome to my Fall Home Tour

I also scattered a few pumpkins, leaves and a fairy in the kitchen to amp up the Fall touches. I like the color orange with all of the grey we have in the house.  It provides a little punch of vibrant color.

What holiday would be complete without decorative pillows?  I. Can’t. Help. Myself!! I picked up both of the pillows at Michaels on clearance.  I do believe it is a true obsession.

I also added some Fall touches to the living room.  I pulled my orange pillows and throws out, dressed the mantle with some greenery and added a few mini faux jack o lanterns.  It creates a warm and inviting space.

In the Dining Room, I added a new to me Goodwill basket filled with pumpkins and some gourds to the tablescape.

The last part of the tour is the sitting room off of the Master Bedroom.  I still adore the transformation of this space.

So that’s all I have for the mini Fall Home Tour.  If I can get myself organized and go out and buy some pumpkins for the outside, I will share our Fall Front Porch.  I think I am in a bit of shock that October is almost O-V-E-R! Guess what that means…we are closer to the Countdown to Christmas with HallMark!!!

I Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Until Next Time,

How to Create a Cozy Fall Home Using Pops of Orange

October 22, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I am sharing my simple Fall Home Tour.  I say simple because I added only a few pops of orange to create a cozy fall home.  Last year I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and paint all of my Fall/Halloween decorations white and I am so happy that I didn’t do that.  I was thinking that my orange pumpkins were dated and they might be but the memories they hold outweigh the white pumpkin trend/phase any day… to me any ways!

So Welcome to my Fall Home Tour 2017 with pops of orange!

Fall Home Tour 2017

I think we will start in the Family Room.  I added orange pillows which really pop off of my grey sofa and leather chair.  I also added an orange and cream check throw.  A few pumpkins and a leafy garland and that’s it. Easy Peasy!

Decorating for Fall with my favorite faux pumpkin

This is my all time favorite Fall decoration.  I remember the day we bought it.  The older two boys were about 2 and 3 years old and each year I would let them choose a new decorations and they chose this pumpkin.  At night when it is lit, it is so pretty.

Fall Home Tour in the Kitchen

In the kitchen, I sprinkled some mini pumpkins in my potted plants to carry the orange theme through.

On the cooktop mantel, I used my youngest son’s toilet paper pumpkin he made back in preschool.  It’s another thing I pull out each year.  I also added a stuffed pumpkin to the wreath.

Fall Kitchen

If you look closely, you can see my cookbook is turned to a pumpkin page.  It is one of Nigella Lawson’s cookbooks. I love her books.  It’s like reading a good story.

Pumpkin Fairy nestled in a wreath

I tucked a pumpkins fairy into a wreath and added more mini pumpkins to my candlesticks.  Back in the day, I used to decorate a tree with orange lights and added all these mini pumpkins.  The tree is long gone and I almost donated the mini pumpkins to Goodwill but decided to scatter them around.  It was such a last minute and random idea but I love it!

(Here is a view of my kitchen Island at night.  Look in the back ground and you can see my favorite pumpkin lit up)

In the Dining Room, I added some gourds to my dough bowl and scattered more mini pumpkins around.

and some older and sentimental decorations…

Halloween witch and Five little pumpkins sitting on a fence

(Another preschool favorite…five little pumpkins sitting on a fence.)  It brings back such great memories.

So sometimes it’s nice  not be on trend.  I am glad I followed my instincts and kept all of my old Fall/Halloween decorations orange and stepped away for the white paint can!

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Until Next Time,

Adding Fall Touches to your Home

October 20, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

We are adding simple Fall touches to our Home.

Today it is all about Fall.  This year I am keeping it super easy by adding simple fall touches to our home.  Last year I sorted through all my decorations and donated most of the ones that did not hold special memories for me.  When the boys were little they loved decorating for the Halloween.  This year it is more about Fall rather than Halloween.

Fall Home Tour 2016

This simple wooden Welcome acorn is on our entryway table.

In the kitchen, I added a few pumpkins including the one my youngest made in preschool.  He is now 13.

I also added a Pumpkin Fairy to my wreath.  The pumpkin beside the wreath is the one my son made…out of a roll of toilet paper. He was very excited by this when he was 4 years old which makes me want to save it forever.  I love the ages they all are now but sometimes I really miss that age when everything was so exciting for them.

Next, we head to the dining room.

Using chalkboard art to decorate for Fall/Halloween

I made the chalkboard banner a few years ago.  You can check it out here.

Pumpkins and wooden bread bowls

I added the cotton wreath to this chair for added texture. I also like the tone on tone with the chair colors of white, cream and tan that pick up the same colors in the wreath.

In the family room, I switched out my red pillow for orange pillows and I added a few pumpkins.

I like the added orange touches to this room. I will switch back to red in December and possibly add a new one to the mix! I am into throws and pillows at the moment!

The pumpkin on the end table is another favorite.  My older two boys picked it out about 17 years ago.  It is one I pull out each and every year.  The same goes for the pumpkin below, it’s another one the older two boys picked out.

Foyer Fall Home Tour

The final room I added a few Fall touches to is the Sunroom. I love this room.  It is where we spend most of our time.  It is just a very comfortable space.

Pigs, pumpkins and tobacco baskets

Talk about simple, the tobacco baskets and the pig were already there.  I plopped the pumpkin down with the intentions of painting it cream or white (like you see all over Pinterest) at some point but I can tell that is not going to happen. Besides I am kind of loving the pops of orange throughout the house.

 That my friends wraps up our Fall Home Tour, I hope you have enjoyed this glimpse into our home.

Until Next Time,

Fall Home Tour

October 27, 2015 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

I am finally getting around to my Fall Home Tour with a bit of Halloween fun mixed in as well.  I pulled out all of my Fall and Halloween decorations several weeks ago.  Then I went through all the boxes only to realize I am ready to get rid of the majority of my decorations.  Last year I didn’t decorate inside because we were in the middle of renovating the entire main floor so it has been awhile since I have gone through everything. It’s funny how your taste changes over time.  I still enjoy a few of my pieces and the memories they hold but the rest of the decorations are getting packed up for Goodwill.

Fall Home Tour in the Kitchen

This year I am adding a few touches throughout the house.  In the kitchen, I have placed a few pumpkins around and have even used a cookbook for decorating.

Decorating with Cookbooks

  I am keeping it super simple this year.  Something the Gman is not all that happy about.  He keeps asking if I am going to do more.

As for the outside, I like to add some large pumpkins, mums and a fall wreath to our door.

Outside Fall Decor

I also like to decorate the outdoor fireplace a bit too.  I made this mini wreath with vines found in our back yard.  Then I wrapped the vines with faux leaves.

pumpkins and planters of mums on the front porch

This is how I like to decorate for Fall and Halloween…

BUT this is how I decorate for the Gman (the other three males in this household could not possibly care any less what I do when it comes to decorating).

Halloween Graveyard Stroll

This is how the Gman likes our house to look…

Halloween Fright Night

and this is how I like it to look.

Outside Fall Decor

So it was a compromise.

Happy Halloween!

Fall/Halloween Decor

October 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

We have finally finished our interior decorating for Fall/Halloween. I love digging through the decorations that I have saved from year to year.  It brings back memories of when all the boys were little. The decoration are not fancy but they are special.  Most of them were picked out by the boys when they were still being pushed around in the stroller.  I remember when my oldest was just a tiny little thing and he did not speak for the longest time but every morning when he came down and I sat him in his highchair for breakfast he would use sign language for light which meant he wanted me to turn on the Halloween Village lights that I had sitting on the kitchen counter.  I still pull that village out every year and he is a Freshman in College.  So here are a few of my Fall/Halloween decorations that we enjoy from year to year.

I love this pumpkin.  It has such a pretty glow but my favorite thing in this photo is a picture of my two oldest out trick or treating with me and my dad (which you can see in the corner of this photo). Love it!!

Halloween Tree

This is my Halloween Tree that we decorate every year.  If you look close enough you can see the pumpkin at the base of the tree that my youngest made when he was in preschool.  He is now in 4th grade (he is my tech guy that I refer to in my blog)

Fall Halloween Mantle

This is my fall mantel that I showed you here (where you can learn how to make the chalkboard banner).  So some old favorites mixed in with some new DIY decorations.

Halloween Decor

Remember the flea market that I mentioned here?  Well I found this…

Thrift Shop FInd

And turned it into this…

Cloche Decorated for Fall

and then this…

Cloche for Halloween Decorating

This is one of the Village pieces I was talking about earlier…not the fanciest but so special to me!

 Up next will be the exterior of the house.  I like to do the pretty Fall decorating but I promised my youngest that we could do “scary” outside this year.  I guess Fall flowers and pumpkins do not count for scary
