Welcome Home Saturday!

Happy Saturday, friends! How was your week? We got snow this week! Things are getting colder and it’s making me more excited for Halloween! I put my Halloween home tour in my new Creative Home Collective Facebook group! We are filling the group with free printables, seasonal recipes and fun DIY ideas. Next week I will be teaching a class on making embroidery hoop pumpkins which you can keep out through Thanksgiving!!

Spooky Fun Ideas

This week I shared some fun Halloween ideas! Warm and Cozy with spooky vibes,

Spooky Halloween Mantel

Matilda is in town and she insisted on creating a skeleton-theme mantel this year! I have all of the details on how to create a spooky mantel in minutes!

Throw a Good Witch Tea Party

This was an idea I did with my kids a few years ago. I updated the post this week. It’s full of DIY witch crafts to make as well as spooky recipes to make to create a tea party your kids will remember always!

Spooky Crow Tablescape

I created a crow-themed creepy tablescape. In only three steps you can create a spooky tablescape that is great to keep out all month or for a Halloween party!

Cozy Fall Fashion Staples

Here are a few cozy items I have ordered for fall! I also have some Instagram stories sharing some great finds I bought at Costco today!

Chunky Knit Sweater with Pockets

I ordered this sweater and LOVE how cozy it feels. It’s oversized but the long cuffs bring a shape to the sweater that is very flattering. It is perfect to wear with jeans and a simple t-shirt!

Mid-Length Cozy Black Cardigan

I live in cardigans, tank tops and jeans in the winter. This cardigan is the perfect length for jeans or leggings and is soft and cozy for winter!

Leopard Print Soft Cami

I love layering a soft cami under my cardigans in the winter. I actually have this one on right now and it is so soft!! And it’s only $12.98!

Boho Floral Tank Top

This tank top is so flattering on! It has a gathered waist in the front and drapes beautifully. It can be dressed up under a blazer. I wore it yesterday and it’s so cute!

Cozy Black Tank Top

This is a great staple to your wardrobe. It’s so soft and cozy. The shape is so flattering. A basic black tank top like this looks amazing under the soft pink sweater above. I ordered this one and it is the same shape and material as the leopard one I am wearing. I am sure I will get a lot of use out of this one. It also comes in 22 different colors and prints.

Boho Cottage Fall Decorating Ideas

Can you believe it’s almost October?? This fall is going by way too fast!! Have you started decorating your home? Today I am sharing our 1891 cottage all decked out for fall! I have some easy DIY ideas and decorating tips that will help you make your home warm and welcoming all autumn long! Grab a cup of tea and join me!

Seasonal Simplicity Home Tour Week

I am so excited to be joining my friend Krista at @thehappyhousie in her #seasonalsimplicity fall series. This week Krista and our friends are sharing their fall homes! You will be so inspired by these amazing ladies and their gorgeous homes! If you are here from Love Create Celebrate — welcome!! I am so glad you are here!

Boho Cottage Fall Ideas

We live in an 1891 home that we have been remodeling for the past two years. And I am SO excited to say that it is almost all the way done! I am sharing our bottom floor and I’ll link to the DIY projects that I created in each room too!

Welcome to our Fall Home!

In our entryway I created a little centerpiece with these fabric-wrapped pumpkins. Can you guess what I used to make these pumpkins??? TOILET PAPER. That’s right! Check out my Elevated Toilet Paper Pumpkin tutorial to see how I made them FOUR different sizes!

Boho Cottage Dining Nook

When you walk into our home the first room you see is our dining room. I just finished painting the wall black and love how moody and dramatic it is! I worked with my friend Shannon at @thriftsandwicks to create the basketwall. Shannon creates full basket walls at great prices. Check her out to put a basket wall on a wall in your home. My master bedroom which is almost done and we are creating a basket wall over our bed. I can’t wait to share it! I created this boho centerpiece that matches the casual, boho vibe in the room.

Boho Cottage Fall Centerpiece

I made FOUR projects for this centerpiece — 1. a DIY NO-SEW runner, 2. fabric-wrapped pumpkins and 3. a footed bowl. I LOVE the mercury-glass votives! They are so cozy! You can find out how to make this fall dining table centerpiece in my Boho Cottage Fall Centerpiece post! I also made matching pillow covers for the banquette. Did you know you can make a pillow cover in 10 MINUTES? It’s true – I have a post How to Make 10-Minute Pillow Covers, if you want to make some for YOUR home.

Boho Cottage Kitchen

In my kitchen I added some fall fun in a few different ways. I corralled some oranges, pumpkins, a candle and some sunny sunflowers on our island.

I also created a warm little display near the stove by elevating a plaid pumpkin, the YUMMIEST candle from my friend at @sparrowcandleconcrete. Check out her shop. She creates handmade candles that smell SO good! I added my copper measuring spoons and elevated everything on a cake plate. My kitchen smells SO amazing!

Boho Cottage Family Room

Off of the kitchen is our family room. We spend a lot of time in here. I love making it extra cozy in the fall. This year I created a little display and put it on a wooden stand. The container and flowers are from IKEA! I also made a pillow cover with the fabric I used in my dining nook.

Boho Cottage Fall Mantel

For the mantel I used an owl vase that I have had for about 10 years. I added some pretty red and orange stems and the same metallic mercury glass votives. I am obsessed with them. You can buy them at Hobby Lobby. I have all of the details on the mantel on my Boho Cottage Fall Mantel post.

Boho Cottage Fall Mantel

We have the original 1891 mantel in the front room of our home which is now my office. I am right in the middle of a huge office makeover so my space is not ready to show off but I did decorate our little mantel. I framed a vintage owl print and then the other two frames are cards from my Pebbles Peaceful Heart collection! You can buy the sayings online through Scrapbook.com.

That’s our 1891 cottage all decked out for fall! Next stop is Lucy’s incredible home at Craftberry Bush! Be sure to check out ALL of the amazing fall homes!

26!! That’s the number of bags of decor and supplies that I dropped off to our local thrift store last weekend! We just moved and our new home doesn’t have a garage or much storage! It really made me evaluate what I wanted to store at the new house.

Create a Fall Mantel with Some of the Same Items

I decided to create a mantel using my favorite fall decor. And while I was working on it, I styled our mantel at the Daybreak house in two ways with mostly the same items!

I love creating something new each year for fall. But I also love using projects that I have made over the years in a new ways.

30+ Fall Mantel and Vignette Ideas!

I love seeing everyone’s fall ideas. Be sure to take a peek at all of the autumn ideas! Just click on the links at the end of the post!

Mantel 1 — Warm and Rustic Mantel with Pumpkins

Create a Centerpiece

The first mantel I styled centered around a frame that I stained walnut and actually used in my Fourth of July Mantel. I backed the frame with burlap material.

Add a Wreath

I created a paper leaf wreath using my Pebbles paper line. Then I put the wreath over my letter board and added a fall saying for fun!

Fill the Shelf or Mantel in with Seasonal Items

To add some fall cheer I added a pumpkin garland to the mantel. I’ve been using this garland in different ways for probably 10 years.

Layer Fall Items at the Base of the Mantel

Under the mantel I added an AUTUMN sign and a little footstool and plants. the AUTUMN sign is one of my favorite things. I love making giant typographical signs.

Mantel 2 — Light and Airy Fall Mantel

A Mirror Adds Light to a Mantel

I hung a mirror above the mantel. I love the way it reflects light in the room. Using mirrors in my home is a way that I brighten up my home. I probably have 8 different mirrors throughout our home.

Neutral Fall Elements

Using neutral elements for fall lets you celebrate the season and it works well if you aren’t ready to bring in the dark colors of fall or if you have decor that doesn’t work with fall colors.

Repurpose Fall Items in New Ways

I made some white sweater pumpkins out of dollar store foam pumpkins and donation sweaters. I love being able to use items over and over again.

Make an Easy Wreath for Fall

Wreaths are another thing I love to create for fall. This one was made with paper from my Pebbles This is Family line. Instead of using a craft machine, I created a pattern of a leaf and traced it onto the paper and then cut the leaves out and created a fall wreath.

I am SO excited to show you our mantel at the new house. It’s original to the 1891 house and really cute and quirky. It will be so fun to restore and share. I hope you will follow along with our 1891 Cottage.
