I’m still in full swing of everything Fall! So today I’m sharing with you some beautiful, neutral inspiration! I love bringing natural elements from outside into the house as part of the decor! Don’t be afraid to snip those changing hydrangeas, a branch from your favorite tree or boxwood leaves! They add incredible character to your decor!

Ruffle Burlap Banner

October 6, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: burlap, burlap banner, diy, DIY banner, fall, fall decor, home decor, ruffle burlap banner 11 Comments

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know two things… I love banners and I love burlap! I meshed those two things together and create a beautiful ruffle burlap banner! The inspiration comes from a few weeks ago being at one of my girlfriends house and seeing her new banner she had just bought at Hobby Lobby. It looked exactly like this, but came with a $15 price tag, which isn’t bad, but I knew I could make it for less!
fall banner
Wouldn’t you know I took the lousiest pictures of the beginning stages of this banner, so I’m going to do my very best to explain it! I used jute for the base. I tied one end to an unfolded paperclip, you could also use a crafting needle if you have one, I didn’t, so I improvised. Grab your burlap ribbon, you can find here, I had a bunch laying around so that’s what I used. Feed your jute needle through the middle of the burlap ribbon and leave about an inch and half – two inches in between and then repeat. Do that until you reach the desired length. I used a good bit of burlap ribbon because I wanted a more tight look. You can fluff and perfect it once you are finished!I love the way it looks! What do you think?

Natural Elements, Fall Centerpiece

September 29, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: centerpiece, diy, fall, Fall centerpiece, fall decor, home decor, nature, pumpkins 4 Comments

Decorating with natural elements may be one of my favorite things to do! It doesn’t matter what season, I am always bringing something from the outside, in! It’s one of the easiest and most affordable ways to decorate!
Fall decor
Now that it’s Fall, you better believe I’m decorating with as many gourds and pumpkins as possible (wink!). I may get a little excessive at the pumpkin patch, so to make it more justifiable to my husband, I told him we would get the seeds from this years haul and plant them next year for our own pumpkin patch! He was okay with that, and I am pretty excited! Anyways, this year I am just crazy about the green gourds and pumpkins and of course, the white pumpkins will always have my heart! I just love mixing them together to create your own special centerpiece or display. I also gathered some fresh branches and intertwined them into the design. I added a few mercury glass votives, and voila!

Cozy Fall Vignette

September 22, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: cozy corner, decor, diy, fall, fall decor, Fall vignette, home decor, vignettes

One of my favorite things about Fall is being cozy! Who doesn’t love to snuggle up with a warm blanket and a good book on a chilly night after a long day? That is exactly what inspired this simple vignette!
A few weeks back while shopping at one of my favorite little vintage shops in a local town, I found this old organ bench and snagged it real quick! It will go upstairs in my office eventually, as for now, it’s looking beautiful in my little cozy corner! I love using benches as part of my decor because the length allows you to add additional decor (props), plus the space below allows for decor also. It perfectly fits this round basket for pillows and throws!

I just love it! The colors and beauty of fall in such a simple display! So I’m curious, do you create seasonal vignettes? I think it’s a great way to add character to your home and have fun with some of your favorite decor pieces! Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you back soon!

Autumn on the Porch

September 15, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: decor, diy, fall, fall decor, Fall porch, home decor 14 Comments

I love decorating my front porch to go with the seasons. Not only that, but I love pulling up to the house and seeing it in all of it’s glory! I was so eager to begin decorating for Fall this year, so I wasted no time!
I had bought a floral wall pocket from Hobby Lobby. I knew immediately that I was going to spray paint it white since my front door was black. So, I did just that.. I spray painted it a flat white, giving it a good two coats. Once it was dry, I grabbed a low grit sand paper and began to rough it up throughout the piece. This gave it some depth and would likely blend in with the natural weathering it will get being on my porch. I had also bought some decorative wheat and potpourri arrangement at Marshall’s. I combined the two arrangements and made it my own! It smells heavenly, and I’m hoping that scent will last a little while even though it’s outside. I made a simple burlap bow using some burlap ribbon I already had and hot glued a clip onto the back. I love putting clips on my bows because I can easily remove them if needed, or move them to another spot of the arrangement if I want.

I’m pretty happy with how this piece turned out! It’s full, screams Fall and looks great on my door! So what do you think of it?

Falling In Love ♥

September 8, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, DIY banner, fall, fall decor, fall in love, home decor

Although Fall doesn’t officially start until the 22nd of this month, I am in complete Fall mode! It is my favorite time of the year! I am absolutely in love with all of the the rich colors, warm tones and fragrant scents, just to name a few! I’m sure you know by now, I’m crazy for banners! So today, I’m sharing this year’s version of my Fall banner!
To start, grab a book that you will never use, or snag one from Goodwill. I chose the phrase “fall in love” for this banner, so I ripped out 9 pages from the book. Before I cut the pages to size, I printed each letter onto them and moved onto the next step. I grabbed my paper cutter and simply trimmed off the sides of each and fishtailed the bottoms by eye. I use jute for the base of my banner and usually, also, eye the length according to the size of the letters. Simply fold the top of each page over and place a piece of double stick tape to the back and press into place. Hang your banner and voila! Such a timeless piece with a statement!
