​If you’re a non-traditionalist or just looking for a more feminine fall decor style this year, this blog is for you! If I’m being honest, I had way too much fun creating this mood board! 

The whimsical fairy poster is the backdrop and inspiration for the rest of the fairy-inspired decor. The color palette embraces the cool end of the spectrum, with purples and blues being the most dominant. The cool colors are markedly different from the traditional warm orange, red, and yellow colors in most fall decor, making this design concept refreshing and unique! 

So, if you’re looking to shake things up a little bit this fall and bring a little fairy magic into your space, check out these 11 items I found on Amazon!

Painted Halloween candy bucket.
​In a previous blog, I showed you how to up-cycled old jack-o-lanterns using chalk and craft paint. In this blog, I will share how I transformed a few old plastic Halloween candy buckets into “new” decor for my home. Reusing and updating old decor is such a fun and budget-friendly way to create a fresh look in your home for the season without breaking the bank! I don’t know about you, but money has been extraordinarily tight this year…And my kids are all grown now, so they don’t need those old buckets anyway!

Plastic jack-o-lantern lit with lights.

​Money is tight this year, so the focus for the fall decorating season has been on up-cycling and reusing wherever possible. But, just to make my life more difficult, I also wanted to change my usual fall decor.

Every year I pull out these light-up jack-o-lanterns along with the rest of my bright orange, yellow, and red fall and Halloween decor. This year, I decided I’d had enough of these bright colors! My kids are all grown, and I want more muted colors for this fall season. So, a Halloween DIY project was born!

Finding the center of a circle.

Grab a pencil, a piece of paper, something with a straight edge, and a compass, and let’s get started! 

(Don’t have a compass? Use two pencils tied together with string at a length suitable for your project.)

Are you ready to deck out that porch and lawn with some spooky Halloween goodness? 

This is my favorite time of year! I love walking around the neighborhood and seeing the creative way people add some spooky ambiance to the outside of their houses. Some people go nuts with lawn decor, creating a feast for the eyes, while others do the classic, understated look with a few simple but timeless pieces. If you’re a person who prefers a few carved jack-o-lanterns on the front step, this might not be for you…But if you’re a Halloween nut, read on!
