Thanksgiving decorating ideas that you haven't seen a million times

FREE IMAGES It's quite a challenge to find unique decorating ideas for the holidays.  Especially with so many people entertaining over Thanksgiving, you want some decor that makes your home a little more memorable.  Here are some ideas that I hope are new to you!

Choose an appropriate but non-traditional color palette.  Orange and brown is a classic for Thanksgiving, but how about white and brown.  It definitely lends your home a fresher look.  Click here to get these free Thanksgiving printables!

I love this handmade garland with a palette straight from nature. A little metallic paint and you can create a custom message. Learn how here

And yet another example of how unexpected color freshens up Thanksgiving decor.  I love the addition of the pink mums!  Without them it would be a pretty, but rather ho-hum porch.

Simple Ways to Spruce Up for Fall

FREE IMAGES Changing decorations out for seasons is an easy way to bring the outdoors in, but sometimes it's not the most convenient. For starters, storing all these decorations can be a bit overwhelming and frustrating. Spending a huge budget on changing decor isn't always ideal either. Here's a happy balance of both that can get you on the right track!

Blankets and candles are things almost all homeowners have around the house. Placing them in the right spot can really change up the decor and bring some fall loveliness in! Since these are also things that are already have around the house, you won't need to find extra storage options for them later.

It's amazing what a tray of white pumpkins can do! Trays are so versatile and can be used year round in different locations, and pumpkins - although they aren't always cheap - aren't something you'll have to worry about storing!

Empty frames, burlap, a great jar, some old books, and that touch of outdoor fall really gives this mantel a great look. These are things you  might be able to find laying round the house that you can pick up! If you aren't interested in using pumpkins, you can always find acorns or pine cones to take their place. Using things you already have is a great budget option.

Here's another option for things lying around the house or outside that you might find as a great budget friendly home decor option!

Even decorating the outdoors can be overwhelming! For me a simple wreath can do the trick and look so elegant at the same time!

Beautiful Autumn Updates

FREE IMAGES Sad as it makes me, summer is on it's way out. Though I like autumn, it's the knowledge that winter is right behind that bums me out. One way to make goodbyes to summer a little less painful is to update your home with some elements to make the time spent indoors more pleasant.

3. Take advantage of all the light you have my using a pretty mirror to reflect it. From Joss & Main.

Welcome Autumn

FREE IMAGES We spent the weekend in NYC where it was 77 on Saturday.  Now here in MD it's 56 and honestly feels even cooler.  The cloudy sky and yellow leaves only add to the atmosphere of fall.
