Fall Decorating on a Budget

I purchased a faux golden brown rose and a bud vase (total $5.00) and made a simple centerpiece.  With the rest of my decor taking up a lot of space and attention, I thought an understated Fall Centerpiece would be best.  And cheap.

I purchased these frames 50% off and bought the scrapbook paper for .99 each.  I then purchased lowercase large black glitter letters to hot glue.  I also purchased two glittery leaf stickers and voila!  I love monograms and figured that I could just change out the paper and stickers for each season and have something permanent.  Total cost on that:  $31.00.

I already had the twine from another project and just used some of the black letters and glued them making the words “fall” across my curtain rod.

I painted and distressed my gold mirror to an off white.  You like?

I  purchased this au natural wreath for $2.99 and the little nest and eggs.  Total price:  $7.00.  I used the twine to hang it.

and the best permanent piece of decor that I’ve invested in this Fall is my 3 month old son, Jake.  Isn’t he the cutest?  Best baby ever.

All in all, I spent about $45 for my home projects for the Fall.  Not too bad!
