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.

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…

(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,

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.

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).

This is how the Gman likes our house to look…

Halloween Fright Night

and this is how I like it to look.

So it was a compromise.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Treat Bags

October 13, 2013 By stylishrevamp 1 Comment

Since my son is dressing up as Harry Potter for Halloween he wanted a treat bag that would go with his costume.  We looked at the bags when we were out but none of them seemed to work.

Then when I was putting the groceries away I got the idea to use one of my grocery bags for his treat bag.

DIY Halloween Harry Potter Bag

I used fabric paint that I had on hand and my son printed off the lettering that he found here.  I cut the letters out and traced them on the bag with a white colored pencil then painted them.

It was a very quick and easy project and now my son has his own custom treat bag to go with his Harry Potter costume!

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.

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
