Fall Welcome Sign

Yesterday I worked on a new project for my front porch.  A Welcome sign.  Here's the finished product.

The board is an old shelf that my husband dragged home from the farm.  All it took was a quick hosing off and some light sanding.  

I purchased the letters (already painted!) at Michaels Craft Store. The only purchase made for this project!

I already had the bow and silk flowers and leaves.  A little hot glue, and this project was complete!

I think it looks good with the wreath.  I plan to change out the decorations on both of these for the different seasons, so come back and see!

Fall Decorating

Having a new house has made decorating for the seasons much more fun! I don't like to fill the house up -- I'm very much anti-clutter, but I've added a few subtle touches to our house for fall.

Burlap wreaths are all the rage right now, but let me tell you, I did not find this very easy to make.  It took a lot of time (and a lot of ribbon - 50 feet!) And my fingers were sore by the time I was finished.  But I'm happy with the way it turned out. I plan to replace the bow for Christmas and maybe the rest of the holidays too!

I also added a few things to the mantle and hearth.  Silk leaves and a few mini clothespins is all it took.

My sister made this centerpiece and it looks great on my dining room table (built by http://smithbuild.weebly.com). The wreath is made from a dropcloth!

Thanks for stopping by.  I'd love to see your fall decorating ideas in the comments!
