Fall Inspiration 2015

It's finally here. Cooler weather! I love everything about fall... Except the countdown to Christmas. I'm not quite ready for that!

Here is my low to no budget 2015 fall decor. I shopped the house and pulled it together. I love decorating with natural elements. Rusty, crusty, lots of texture, and ...cheap!

This is the buffet in the dining room. 

We raise and sell waterfowl and other birds, feathers galore. Perfect for fall decorating.

This is the mantel.

Deer sheds, dried hydrangeas, and cotton bolls are in the mix. Chicken feeders on top of terracotta pots for height make perfect sense to me. 

Recently, I picked up this large basket at the thrift store. I think I want to stain or paint it. It needs to be darker or maybe white? In the meantime, I tossed in the extra decor stuff I wasn't using and displayed it on the coffee table. I love a collection of random stuff.

What about corn??? This was so easy. Leaving the shucks attached make this corn look amazing. What a pretty color!

I tucked the silk down in the bottom of the vase, nestled the corn inside, and set the whole thing in some chicken wire. Okay! So I was feeling creative...

Here is last years mantel.

I enjoyed this "buffet" in my dining room for a few years. I recently changed the dining room around and moved this to another room. Time for change! Yes, I decorated it for fall only to disassemble and move it 2 weeks later... For me, when inspiration strikes, I roll with it.

The maple leaves are starting to turn colors. This is my real leaf wreath from last year. 
You can see how easy it is to make here.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I've been working on a pallet project for my dining room. I can't wait to share all the details with you here on the blog. Happy Fall Ya'll!

I hope you were inspired!

2014 Fall Mantel

2014 Fall Mantel

Hello friends.

This year I shopped the house to decorate.

Keeping it simple. Keeping it neutral. Keeping it thrifty. 

We have an abundance of feathers. We raise all kinds of birds. You can see more about that over at Junk Chic Cottage. I was in the spotlight last year if any of my new followers would like to pop over and read. If you don't know Kris already, you should definitely go visit her. She has some serious skills!

I made this chicken wire cloche and never got around to posting it. 

Blood was shed.... not an easy project.

This birdhouse was out on the back porch and it was brown like the roof. I painted it white so it would stand out against the dark brick. I picked the Marigolds from the yard. 

This photo says fall to me.

I made a banner from outdoor burlap, wheat, leaves, and feathers. 

The white feathers are from our Mute Swans.

Cotton on the roadside... cotton in the ditch... we all picked cotton but we never got rich... 

I really like the softness of the banner against the mirror. 

I robbed my potpourri stash for the nuts and cones etc. I picked the leaves from our Crepe Myrtle trees. Slowly but surely they're turning.

So what do you think? Does this say fall to you? Don't you think the feathers make it fun?

I hope you were inspired.

Thank you so much for stopping by Thrift My House!
