Here is just a glimpse at the decor. I am still working on the front porch area, but this is the top of our piano all decked out.
Best part: all of it was DIY and inexpensive! Here's a brief overview:
All except one of the mini apothecary jars are candlesticks and small jars/vases from the dollar store. Just spray paint the candlesticks black and use E6000 glue to attach them to the jars. The other jar is a terracotta pot spray painted black and glued to the small bowl upside down. The big jar is from D.I. for a whopping 75 cents. This is a great little tutorial from Jamielyn at I {heart} Naptime. The marshmallows and candy corn are from Wal Mart and the rest of the candy is from the candy store Sweeties in Chandler. Seriously check it out! I love that place!
Both banners I made myself. The "boo" banner out of scrapbook paper and the "happy halloween" banner is a chalkboard banner. For some instructions for the chalkboard banner look here at Momtastic. I made mine 15 squares, so it fits most sayings!
The books I picked up a while ago at a local thrift store for $1 each. The small "A" I received as a gift for my wedding, and the small bird I got at the dollar store also (and just spray painted it black).
Just tied some lace around the big jar and some books, made things different levels...and wa-la! A little fun for Fall. I know it isn't anything crazy or super creative, but it makes things feel a little festive around here! Now, off to find some yummy soup recipes for when it truly cools down for good.
