With a baby on the way I have been trying to stay on a strict budget, so when it came to Fall decorating this year I purchased a few new things from the dollar store, made some décor with supplies I had on hand, and used items from past years. The great thing is that in a few weeks I can add in some spooky Halloween items and then remove them afterwards to have décor that will last me through Thanksgiving. I made the ‘Sapp Farm Hayrides’ sign out of a piece of pallet board I had in the garage and some orange acrylic paint using the same tutorial that I shared HERE. This project was free since I had all of the supplies on hand. The Falling Leaf Wreath was from last year and I shared that tutorial HERE. The ceramic pumpkins were both from the Dollar Tree and were $1 each. At first I thought I would spray paint them, but then I decided they looked just fine the way they were. The leaves in the picture below were also $1 for a pack of 10 at the Dollar Tree. Everything on the entertainment dresser was found by shopping my house or was from past years. I shared the chalk paint recipe that I used on the apple bucket HERE, and I will be sharing the tutorial for the pumpkin burlap canvas next week. If you missed the free fall bucket list printables that we have on our shelf you can find them HERE. Everything on this shelf was from past years – free to me now! Oh how I love Fall!! What is your favorite part about Fall? Is it the seasonal Starbucks drinks, the colors, the cool weather? I think my very favorite part is the cozy feeling that you get! Enjoy,

Yes this is very good idea for home decoration in my monthly budget.

Oh my, that is a cute idea! I have done some DIY projects before with my children. You could see them in my home at apartments in Downtown Denver.
