When is it okay to decorate for fall
Fall Decorating (decorate w/me)
[Music]
hey guys welcome back to my channel so
it is that time of the year
time to start with the fall and autumn
videos so I'm very excited to start with
my first one which is decorating the
house
there are a few spots that I always
decorate every fall and one of those is
our fireplace mantel so I pray have it
pretty bare in the summer months just a
few candles and our little chicken our
little chicken there but I'm gonna move
things around a little bit I'm gonna add
a wreath like I said the fireplace
mantel is usually pretty bare during the
summer months sometimes I'll have an
herbal wreath that I'll put up and keep
it really simple but since we're not
using the fireplace I usually keep it
pretty minimal and then wreaths and
decorations come out during the fall and
winter months and I like to put one up
for Christmas as well so I got this
wreath 40 percent off at Hobby Lobby and
a few other decorations I'm adding some
of the pumpkins that we grew and that we
harvested and every year I do it
completely different I kind of change up
my theme every year if you will and
judge it and make it look however i
think is pretty sometimes if it's too
cluttered i'll remove things or add or i
just kind of change it up depending on
what I think looks good in the moment so
I'm adding a few of the rustic pumpkins
I have a collection I had one fall box
and then I bought a few things in the
40% off sale at Hobby Lobby to add so
I'll start a second fall box but I'm
trying to keep it minimal so I don't
overdo it on the decorations I make sure
to use what I do have and then I love
those kind of loose fake leaves you can
find them at Michael's or Hobby Lobby
just to add as like filler and when
there's a lot of different things going
on I try to keep candles in a really
safe spot obviously or use fake candles
just so that I don't start a fire
Trader Joe's has some really fun fall
goodies I have several in this video and
I'm gonna share with you a few of my
favorites one is their cinnamon broom
which absolutely smells amazing and it's
made completely from natural ingredients
so I go ahead and I put that into a
container of Oz of some type and then I
usually have a pumpkin and that's on the
side of my fireplace next I'm moving
into the guest bathroom this is the
bathroom right next to my kitchen so the
majority of guests use this one I'm
using the Honey Crisp apple diffuser
that was also a fall favorite from
Trader Joe's I'm gonna put that above
the toilet with a little pumpkin as well
and then some fall themed magazines I
usually like to light a candle on my
sconce which is on the wall and then I
have another little stacked pumpkin
decor that I'm gonna put there and then
of course another fall favorite from
Trader Joe's which is their apple cider
hand wash
[Music]
moving into the dining room I'm gonna
decorate the dining room table I got
some flowers again from Trader Joe's and
I promise this video is not sponsored by
Trader Joe's but I do love that store
and that is where I grocery shop and
they have the most beautiful yellow and
kind of light red or pink roses and they
have them every single fall last fall I
did an epic centerpiece and I really
really loved I think it was probably one
of my favorite tablescapes I've ever
done it's on my channel this year I'm
kind of doing a similar but I'm doing
two separate centerpieces because I have
these glass vases that I got from Hobby
Lobby also 40% off I don't have flowers
the entire season on my dining room
table but I usually like to choose a
time when I know I'm gonna have friends
or family over or if you're having a
dinner maybe like a harvest party or
maybe even for Thanksgiving I mean
there's so many different times in which
you can do it
Trader Joe's has pretty affordable
flowers but I definitely don't have them
on the table the entire season but these
are just a few ideas for even if you're
having a fall wedding which I think fall
weddings are absolutely stunning but you
can do really affordable centerpieces so
I think I did six roses in each foz and
then also the filler and I kind of
eyeball it as always just to kind of go
based on my own eye and what I think
looks pretty and I usually trim them and
try to make sure they're all the same
height and I usually remove the leaves
and try to get it as clean as possible
[Music]
last year in one of my fall DIY videos I
shared a tip about collecting pinecones
and adding some cinnamon essential oil
on them and then also you can add
cinnamon sticks also maybe some pumpkin
decor and fake leaves and they make a
really pretty centerpiece so I'm gonna
actually go ahead and put this in the
center you can paint pinecones as well
to have different colors just to give it
a little bit of variety and then on
either side of that I'm gonna put the
flowers and then I love these birch
candles I have fake ones and I have real
ones as well and I bring those out
throughout the year because they work
during Christmas time they work pretty
much you can use them in the summer
they're great and I use them year after
year the fake ones are really nice too
because I keep those closer to the
flowers to prevent any type of fire
hazard I'm putting our white pumpkins
that we had in the yard that we
harvested I'm gonna go ahead and put
those on the table as well and then I'll
probably cook those up you can cook them
just like you'd cook squash so maybe in
a few days I'm gonna put some of the
fake leaves down so this is obviously a
very large table scape you can always
scale down if you have a small table my
table is pretty big so if I'm gonna have
a buffet style type get-together usually
we will move stuff like this if
everybody's gonna be sitting around the
table because you want to see each other
and converse and but this is also just
nice to have on the table during the
fall months just as decoration since my
table is pretty large I ended up adding
some additional items and these are
these kind of rustic pumpkins I got from
Hobby Lobby last year and so this is
quite an extravagant table scape and I
think last year's was as well but I
always enjoy doing extravagant table
escapes also I picked up a few things
for the boys to play with while I was
decorating these are fun because you
could just peel them off and stick them
on to the window so I gave all over that
job while I continued to decorate
[Music]
this is in front of our window we have
the coffee bar to the right and then our
dishes are underneath and I just put
welcome to our home and a candle so just
a little something there to add some is
usually pretty bare there unless I have
flowers and then moving on to the front
porch which is one of my favorites I
always have seasonal flowers I like to
get those from Lowe's they last really
well if you are consistent with watering
them and then I'm gonna put a sign I
don't have too many signs but I've had
this sign that says pumpkins corn maize
and hayrides which i think is really
funny I went ahead and put that in there
and then a few pumpkins again similar to
this I'll usually leave the pumpkins out
and then I'll use them for seeds or cook
them up my door is so dirty right now
and I also got a new match at the 40%
off sale that says thankful so I went
ahead and put that down and then I
cleaned off my door because we live on a
dirt road and it's dirty all the time
there's always dust and mud and dirt
everywhere so I try to keep it as clean
as possible but I thought that these
pumpkins I love the real funky looking
pumpkins and then I have my fake birch
candle that I mentioned and then this is
also really great these lanterns because
I got those at Target and you can use
those during Christmas time as well so I
use those through throughout the entire
year this is a really pretty wreath I
got from Trader Joe's it was just a few
dollars and it's actually real leaves so
this one's really pretty as well so I
kept it really simple for the front
porch I did a terrible job painting my
front door so I apologize I've actually
been meaning to fix that but I haven't
done it yet so yeah so the front porch
was pretty simple but I did want to make
sure I decorated it this year and then
for my master bathroom this is kind of
segwaying into upcoming videos I usually
have lavender and I kind of switch that
up during the fall season on my bath
tray and then I have my lush fall themed
bath bombs and then a few of the more
soft plush pumpkins so I usually always
decorate that as well so that was it for
my first round of decorating I may add a
few bits and pieces here and there and I
will definitely do more fall videos but
this was the first one and I hope you
enjoyed it and
have you decorated for fall yet I gotta
say it was pretty hot so I was kind of
holding off to see if I could get cooler
weather to make the video even more cozy
maybe I could turn on my fireplace but I
did want to decorate before the
beginning of October so I hope you guys
enjoyed this video and I'll see you in
the next one bye
