Some fall for inside

So fall decor has never enter my home before until this year. I felt inspired to do a little decorating.

The mantle needed a new do. I had a frame that I loved and a mirror that I could do without so I decided to swap the two and make a new mirror with a different frame for my mantle.

I started with this gold frame.

I cut out the brown paper in the back and removed the mirror. I reframed it into my wooden frame and came up with this.

I wish I took a closer picture of the mirror.

I love the feathered wreath. My hubby, not so much, but I don't care. I found it at Jo-Ann's for only $12.00. It was 39.99 originally. I found the amber candle sticks at Hobby Lobby for 66% off for only $7.48 each.

I bought the garland for only $5.00 at Hobby Lobby and the pumpkin and gourds at Jo-Ann's for $8.00.

The rest of the items were found around the house to complete my mantle makeover.

I was also able to finally finish re-upholstering my kids side chairs. It just so happens to be fall colors. I bought these cute chairs at Target, but they were pink. I loved them so much that I had to have them. However, I don't have any girls in my household so they needed to be redone. I decided to re-upholster one in a chocolate and the other in a burnt orange.

I am definitely digging the fall season this year.

Sprucing the entry for the fall

I have never decorated for the fall, but this year I decided to spruce up our doorway with a little bit of it. I started with this wreath I found at Target.

It was $39.99, but I got it for only $4.98. Score!

I think it looks perfect for our place.

So here is my doorway with the new wreath. It's still a little drab. I wanted to update it a little so I went and bought some black spray paint to spray the urn and the shoe cleaner.

I was so ready to get rid of the "mossy" looking urn.

To match, I figured I might as well spray our little puppy as well. Why not? It probably took longer to clean and tape off the unpainted areas then it did to actually spray these two items.

I added some fall leaves to my little evergreen to make it look a little more fall.

This is what I ended up with. I repurposed a new mat from our backdoor. It is the perfect size to cover up the electrical cord. I've always wanted a black door, but I wasn't quite ready to take the plunge on that one just yet.

For a little spray paint, it looks a lot better. Total price for the door makeover is $10.39 ($4.98 for the wreath, $4.66 for the outdoor spray paint, and 75 cents for the fall leaves). That's not too shabby. Hopefully, it is a little more inviting than what it was before. I can't wait for Thanksgiving!
