Simple budget friendly fall touches

“Autumn… the year’s last lovliest smile.” ~ John Howard Bryant

Earlier this week I shared how I made my simple and budget friendly fall wreath. I want to show you some other budget friendly ways I’m adding some fall touches to our home. As an added bonus, I’m including some of my super talented blogger friends who are also sharing their fall homes.

If you came from Julie of My Wee Abode’s page, welcome friend!!!

A subtle transition from summer heading into fall.

I’m taking a different approach this year with decorating and instead of decorating for Halloween and Thanksgiving individually, I’m decorating for Fall in general. In addition to taking a slow more laid back approach and adding subtle touches here and there, I’m also keeping it pretty budget friendly.

Shop your home

I try not to buy any additional holiday decor simply because we just don’t have the storage for a lot of things. I’ll use some of the same base items, like the galvanized olive buckets, and switch out what’s inside. For fall the obvious choice is mums, but I could also use them to hold a bunch of pumpkins too. Then at Christmas time, I’ll take out the mums and use lighted Christmas trees.

I’m also a huge fan of mason jars and use them year round for decor in various ways. Here I’ve added some twine and dried wheat.

Invest in faux

It’s crazy how far faux florals have come over the years. When I made the wreath I was very impressed with how realistic the flowers looked. I had left over stems that I placed in a pitcher I was already using for decor.

In addition to the faux florals I added some faux acorns I bought years ago. Last year I used these same acorns as vase filler.

Same acorns from last year used in a different way.

Think outside the box

Instead of buying table cloths, if I want a pop of color, I’ll use a blanket scarf or even a folded piece of fabric. This year I found a pretty plaid flannel print that coordinated with my current decor.

You don’t need much fabric to make a statement.

I am a firm believer that you can have subtle touches and achieve the same feeling without breaking the bank or needing copious amounts of storage for all the extras. Most importantly, enjoy the process of transforming your home into a space that makes you happy.

    Your fall touches are so pretty, Brooke! Great tip on using a scarf on a table!
    I love that you’re decorating for fall instead of two holidays but I’m wondering where that leaves the dragon!!
    I’m so glad you could be part of my celebrating fall home tour series! Thanks for joining us!

    I love the idea of using what you already have and adding touches of fall here and there. That helps to keep it organized used when you do y have huge boxes of decor. It has been a great being on the tour with you.

      It just makes things a lot easier for me to just do fall. It at least gives me a chance to get a good start when it’s time to decorate for Christmas.

Hi, I'm Brooke! Welcome to my little corner of the web where I share my (hopefully) helpful tips about how I'm navigating through life, one organizing and DIY project at a time. Come on in, make yourself comfortable, and let's get to work!

I am blown away by the support on our announcement I am blown away by the support on our announcement about moving. The number one question I get is “how can you leave, you did so much?!” On the blog I’m taking a walk down memory lane and y’all we did do a lot. But the blood sweat and tears are going to be worth it for the next family.
From early in my relationship with Courtney, we lo From early in my relationship with Courtney, we loved going to open houses and parade of homes. Anything to get ideas and inspiration on what we wanted in our own home. Believe it or not, we’ve moved 10 times. Of those 4 were homes we bought and one of them a home we built. Needless to say when we saw the online photos of our “hopeful” future home plan, we agreed we had at least one more move in us.  What’s something you’re looking for in your next home?
In my lifetime of doing DIY, I’ve picked up a fe In my lifetime of doing DIY, I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks along the way. #partner Check out the link in my profile for my first @homesdotcom article of the year where I share all my juicy secrets. 🙌🏽
I needed to take a long break after last week to p I needed to take a long break after last week to process all that’s going on. I’m still processing. One of my favorite things to do is take long walks through construction sites surrounded by plumbing and framing.  No lie. This is where we’ve gone multiple evenings over the last couple of weeks. This place has brought us a lot of peace and on the blog I’m spilling the beans on our secret.

The tragic helicopter accident that took Kobe, his daughter, and their friends rocked me in a way I didn’t know it would.  It was clear that y’all loved the bedroom renovations this year and our @wearewoodgrain accent wall was a huge crowd favorite. Kennedy’s diamond pattern wall is one of my most pinned on Pinterest to this day. I’m deep in planning mode for this year and can’t wait to bring more fun content. Hope that everyone had a great night and an even better weekend!!
Walking out of this year with a whole new perspect Walking out of this year with a whole new perspective. While this year was filled with so much uncertainty, I was still able to find some light and a more clear vision. (I’ve always said the best lessons come in the valleys of life.) I’ve spent the last few weeks with Court and the girls and I’ve come to some realizations that will change the vision I thought I had for the future. I thank you for being on this journey.  I’m blown away by the people I’ve met online and in person from this community.  The opportunities I’ve been blessed to experience.  I pray that everyone has a safe night and we all wake up tomorrow with hope that the new year will bring more peace.
