As many of you know my house has 2 bedrooms with 6 family members! Peter and I took the smaller of two rooms (“before” post) when we found out I was expecting twins. We worked all summer and fall, slowly sifting through our junk, to get organized enough to fit into our new smaller space.

Here are some decor shots from my new bedroom.

I kept that old farm house window from the garbage pile! Click here for my post about sorting and purging, in which, I claimed I would simply perish if I didn’t have that window. (even though it went unused for 3 years)

More re-purposed farm wood! This board was part of a chicken coop of yesteryear and discarded. I washed her up, removed the nails and gave a once over with some sand paper. I used a light white wash to brighten it up a bit. Then I added my name with a sharpie and stencils. Of course the year of establishment is our wedding year. I can’t believe I’ve been married over 7 years already!

Well, I just noticed the shelf decor could use a little more centering.

That’s all for now! Gotta go feed those babies.

Love,

Jess

I love to celebrate the harvest season. I do not really get into the spooky stuff. But I do love the beautiful colors and natural inspirations that are around for fall.

I am linking up with Kimba over at A Soft Place to Land for an Autumn/Halloween decor and craft “party”.  Check it out and add your own photos!

Pier One mosaic trivet for my kitchen table. Thrift store find of course.

An old white washed chicken coup board from the farm serves as a backdrop for my seasonal items.

I splurged this year and bought a metal frame pumpkin from a local arts and crafts store. It was on sale for $5. I could not resist. Look at the beads!

This charming little stained glass window hanger was a hand me down from my MIL (Mother-in-Love) aka Grammy Kris.

I made filling for the cornucopia (rip off from Grammy Lu) from ribbon, leaves from outside and faux autumn berries on a stick. I usually keep my autumn hand towels in the empty bowl but they were all in the wash pile! The apple corer just happened to be by the bread box it is not a decoration but it could be if I weren't using it everyday! That's what 20 plus pounds of apples will do!

I like to add just a hint of the season in already existing collections.

Sometimes it is just the little things that can make me smile.

I keep a little bag of candy corn stashed above my cupboards so my little ones can't beg for it all day long!

I still have a little craft fair flair in my blood.

Fall display on top of my entertainment center in the living room. I am "blessed" with the special task of incorporating two black speaker boxes into my theme.

Mini white pumpkins were 3 for $1.89 at the orchard. I think they are just delightful.

A 50 cent postcard from the orchard. I love the green color and it will remind me of a great memory every year I pull it out to decorate!

Holy Bible, Book of Genesis, Chapter 1, Verse 11

Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so.
