Fall decor on a budget

October 18, 2019 /

Since I am trying to be thrifty this fall, especially for this month of October, I decided to see what I could do to add a little to my fall decor to welcome fall in. I started with the items I already had.

My little Target bird and my letter board adorn my mantle. I know sand and seashells are not fall decor but sorry, not sorry, they are a sweet reminder of our summer trip to Spain and France this summer.

My buffet table behind the couch displays this fall sign I found last year at Hobby Lobby and a few pumpkins from Target dollar spot (also old). I need to find something cute to fill the glass little lightbulb. I have two on display but haven’t decided what they should be filled with.

The dining room buffet table displays these fall signs that I made with leftover wood, paint and vinyl with my cricut. I added some more pumpkins.

Lastly, I use a store credit gift card at Home Depot to buy a fall wreath and a new doormat. I pulled out this pretty pumpkin to complete the front entrance.

So the cost of my decor for this year was 0 until I bought some pillow covers! I bought 5 pillow covers for a total of $20. The covers are nice and thick and of good quality! The plaid pillow covers and the orange pillow cover are made of a burlap material. I used the extra orange cover for one of my outside pillows. I am pleased with my decor and don’t see me adding much to it next year apart from maybe a few diy wood projects!

I had forgotten my fall vignette on my dining table! The placemats and the “balls” were Target finds a few years ago. The pitcher was thrifted and my dried lavender is ancient! It is about 23 years old and “gasp” my friend and I picked it from a field in Provence, France without permission!

A bientôt!
