Fall, Fall, Fall! The best time of the year!

I absolutely can not contain my love for Fall! If you have been following my blog since the beginning, you will know that I love Fall. I encourage you to go to my blog archive and check out my last years ideas. Fall is the whole reason I started this blog I think! Can't even explain how much I love it! So, I might just be getting my creative ideas back so don't you drift away from checking this blog! I will continue to add homemaking tips which is what this is for.

To start off, I will tell you how to ease your home into Fall decor. Since you won't want to put up Halloween or Thanksgiving yet.
Start with your mantle and/or top of piano.
If you like, on top of your piano put a runner on top of it with a blend of soft Fall colors.


Or a plain solid colored one. This way you can add colored candles,on the other one its best to add clear candles. You know how I love candles!

Next: Wreath or wall hanging. This is a great way to start thinking of the season.
Next on the agenda: Your kitchen! Anywhere you can, I realize not all kitchens have room for decorating-but look at your options.


---You can put some baby pumpkins and pinecones in the window seal,
---You can put out a simple pumpkin or leaf shaped bowl with some candy on top of a placemat!
---Plug in a fall scented scentsy candles
The options are really out there, just consider them all!
I challenge you all to take a good look and ease your home in to Fall!!

Transparent Tables

Our living rooms in our homes don't always come as big as we would maybe like them. So, you can't exactly fit everything in there you want without making it feel cluttered! To give a room an uncluttered fell, use transparent tables instead!!
real simple
