Fall Windowscape

No crazy theatrics here, I just "shopped" around my own house and restyled my window frame for the upcoming season. 

Top shelf.

I hung this wreath on a hook on the wall and slid a little candlestick under it to look like a stand.

Picture frame painted red (cheap little Goodwill picture frames are great to have around. A quick coat of spray paint can easily transform them for any season or style.)  I left the glass in and used vinyl letters to denote the season. Also, Michael's has the best battery operated, real wax LED candles with a nice little realistic-looking flicker and a built in timer. It will start at the same time every evening and run for 4 hours then shut off. 

Faux caramel apples from my 2012 window.

Bottom shelf.

Crow, Birch bark and red flower reused from past years designs. Neat little wooden box from my father-in-law.

Fake plant from IKEA (they have the BEST!) and great little string of LED lights on a timer. I got these at Bachman's, but they can be fund cheaper online. 

That's all folks. Thanks for looking. 

Fall 2014 Extravaganza Window decor

Well, it's now turning lovely shades of red, orange and yellow outside, I've had the heater on in my car, worn a jacket regularly and purchased fresh apple cider. Time, I think, to change my window decor from Easter/Spring to Fall (I know, I know, I completely skipped summer in there. Poetic considering we barely HAD a summer this year!)

A friend introduced me to an amazing store recently, General Store of Minnetonka. What a fun two hours that was! Everywhere you looked, the store was decked out in fall decor, colors and even scents. It definitely got my creative juices going. I picked up the metal letter 'F' there and that was the jumping off point for this season's display. I added the word "Fall" and the oak leaf decals, but the 'F' was already painted the lovely shade of orange. All of the other items I got from "shopping" around my house. 

Happy fall to you!
