Easy Decorating for Fall

The never ending Texas heat has given me a bit of the "fall blues" as I wait for it to cool down enough to wear fall clothes. While it has cooled down some, its still warm enough where I often regret wearing boots out. Therefore on the first day it cooled down even slightly I decided it was time to decorate my apartment for fall, maybe I had hopes that it would encourage fall weather.

My thoughts going into the store for fall décor were simple: cozy and warm. That meant candles... lots of candles, so my first stop was the dollar store where I picked up about 10 in a couple fall scents. I also picked up three small glass candle holders while I was there. Next stop Michaels! Here I bought a large glass hurricane, some pinecones, fall berries and a few other odds and ends. I made one last stop at the grocery store to buy a couple baby pumpkins and headed home to start "fallifying" my apartment!

Here is some of what I ended up with:

I made this frame awhile back and never knew what

to do with it so I wanted to incorporate it into

my fall decoration plans  

 

I bought a gold plate, filed it with pinecones and

cinnamon apple candles for a coffee table

feature

I surrounded a tall candle in the

hurricane by orange berries

and gold accents

I wrapped the remaining berry trim around

a big candle I already had at the house

I was very happy with the end result and felt like the place was instantly cozier with the addition of all the candles and their fall smells. When at the store searching for items I made sure to buy things that could also be used for Christmas decorations, I will convert some of this over in a month or so, update to come!

How did you decorate for fall?
