I am definitely not against a beautiful statement rug, but in my own home I tend to gravitate towards more neutral rugs so I can change things up through throw pillows and accessories. They are harder to find than you might think though! So when I recently came across several I thought I'd share them with you for Moodboard Monday! These are great neutral rugs to ground a room without committing you to a color scheme. Several of them are on sale right now and most of them come in a few different neutral color options. </div>

My sister recently moved into a new house and we've had fun slowly turning it into a home for them. We've repurposed things she already had and kept things super budget friendly. Proof that it doesn't cost a lot to make your house into a space you love! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The little bump out in the wall made it feel sort of awkward and unworkable, but we turned it into a much more functional space that made sense of an otherwise unusable area. We decided to add these picture ledge shelves and create them in a way to where they were flush with the other side of the wall. Making it feel more even and balanced. My brother in law made them so that they would fit the wall perfectly. You can see the DIY of how he made similar ones for me <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2016/09/diy-picture-ledge-shelves.html#.XF2T7S2ZMWo">here</a>. The great part about making them yourself is that you can adjust the width and depth to fit the space. If you aren't up for a DIY, you can find lots of premade options <a href="http://bit.ly/2DmngSE">here</a> and even a few <a href="http://bit.ly/2SkuWyQ">customizable options</a> as well.</div>

Can you believe she found those lights for $1 at a yard sale? The thrifting gene runs strong! We didn't want to spend the money hardwiring them, so we used <a href="https://nestingwithgrace.com/magic-light-trick-follow-post-video-adding-light-sconce/">the magic light trick</a> to make them functional. If you've never tried it before, it's genius! I found similar lights <a href="http://bit.ly/2SkrNiz">here</a> and they are very affordable. They come in lots of finishes too.</div>

Most of the frames were ones she already had, but we added new mats to some of them and a few inexpensive new frames to fill in the gaps. She has <a href="http://bit.ly/2DpGJ50">the same light</a> that I have in <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/08/dining-room-linear-lantern.html#.XF2XSC2ZMWo">my dining room</a> and I think it works so well in this space.

Picture ledges are one of my favorite ways to display photos. It makes it so easy to switch the pictures out and rearrange them when you want to change things up!</div>

It's no secret that I love magnolia branches! They are so pretty and classically southern. I'm determined to plant one in my yard one of these days. But for now, I'll keep picking up other people's clippings on the side of the road. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was driving in my parent's neighborhood and saw several large magnolia branches by the curb. I made a quick u-turn and loaded them up in the back of my car. I was in the middle of trying to make budget friendly centerpieces for an event and knew I could use these. You can't beat free!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simple magnolia branches in a vase are beautiful, but I wanted to do something different this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shared these on instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dwellingsbydevore/">@dwellingsbydevore</a>) but thought I'd share here too in case any of you missed it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with foam wreath forms from the dollar store. Then, I took all the leaves off of the branches. I found, through trial and error, that cutting the base of the stem at a diagonal to form a point, made it easier to poke them into the foam. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in a hurry, and needed to make several of these, so I skipped preserving the leaves. However, if you want these to last longer I would recommend preserving the leaves first. </div>

We put a mason jar with a candle in it in the center to make a centerpiece, but these could also be used as wreaths as well. Wouldn't it be pretty with a simple black and white striped bow on it? I also mixed in a few sprigs of seeded eucalyptus from Trader Joe's to add some variation. The best part is these only cost $1! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was grabbing the foam wreaths at the dollar store I saw these other inexpensive centerpiece ideas and thought I'd share them as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This is super simple too. Start with a glass taper candle holder. Then take two frames and use hot glue to glue the back sides of the frames together. If the frame has a stand on the back you'll probably want to rip that off to make the frames fit together more seamlessly. Then hot glue the frames to the top of the candle holder. You can put anything you want in the frames. Some thoughts I had were, black and white photos, prints with inspirational quotes, table numbers, etc. Total cost, $3. I would probably surround these with tea lights to make it seem more substantial.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also saw these cute little mirrors that could be used with a simple chunky pillar candle. I would probably spray paint them a solid color, maybe gold, but loved the modern look of them.</div>

I hosted a simple fall baby shower at my home this past weekend. I wanted to make it pretty, but didn't want to spend a lot on decorations that would just get thrown away at the end of the day. So I focused on using what I had with a few inexpensive items mixed in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually thought it might be fun to try to challenge myself by buying most of the things from the dollar store and I ended up sticking to that for the most part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first attempt at a naked cake. Look at it from straight on and it's pretty good, but things get a little more "rustic" when you look at it from other angles. As long as it tastes good that's all that matters right? I added some <a href="http://bit.ly/2OZWRyx">fake peonies</a> to the top and they actually are surprisingly realistic looking. </div>

We kept the food spread really simple too. It was an afternoon shower so most people had just eaten lunch.

I hosted a fall-ish themed baby shower over the weekend and I thought it would be fun to reuse the centerpieces to create a fall tablescape. The jumping off point was these <a href="http://bit.ly/2OZWRyx">fake peonies</a>. I love real peonies, but they can get pretty pricey and are only in season for such a short time. I've seen lots of pink this year for fall and I'm loving it!</div>

For me October is when things really start to feel like fall. So for today's Moodboard Monday I did a roundup of items that would make a cozy, neutral fall table setting. The great part is, other than the pumpkin, these items can be used all year round and even easily transition to Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-LDUjjhS4HRO6ZmxK8I_v5IdSwaGFUX4B_7LpQSbTQnNxSyGJcmNukSf_MRZFg_ZiXx1YekijqGbda_f7pirNIDn2978ko1OvAZ5jB75bZv2OVtMLlyyCnPCBHAlKH0LidXqUtn-7eo/s1600/neutral+fall+table+setting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-LDUjjhS4HRO6ZmxK8I_v5IdSwaGFUX4B_7LpQSbTQnNxSyGJcmNukSf_MRZFg_ZiXx1YekijqGbda_f7pirNIDn2978ko1OvAZ5jB75bZv2OVtMLlyyCnPCBHAlKH0LidXqUtn-7eo/s640/neutral+fall+table+setting.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://bit.ly/2P20YtV">Eucalyptus Garland</a> - Y'all know I love eucalyptus! This is a great faux option. I would use this as a centerpiece for the table and weave it through some white pumpkins of all different sizes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://bit.ly/2Oro3co">Large</a> & <a href="http://bit.ly/2OWR90i">Small</a> candlesticks - These are great for anywhere and anytime of year. They're a good staple decor item to have around. I would use them grouped together in the center of the table, mixed in with the eucalyptus and white pumpkins I mentioned above. I would do an odd number, three small and two large. You could line them up in a row or disperse them randomly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <a href="http://bit.ly/2OYAz05">Wood Chargers</a> - I love using organic materials anytime of year, but especially during the fall! These would add the perfect natural element to the table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://bit.ly/2P1lfzG">Blanket Scarf</a> - I've been seeing lots of tablescapes draped with cozy blankets and I love that look. This is actually a scarf you would wear, but I think it would work perfectly for a table setting. Just drape it across the table diagonally. And when you are done with it, add it to your wardrobe :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://bit.ly/2OWmjop">Gold Flatware</a> - Gold Flatware is another home decor staple. It's perfect for anytime of year, but adds some nice warmth in the fall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://bit.ly/2P0sDvl">Black Dinnerware</a> - I don't know why, but black screams fall to me. I love the depth it would add to this table setting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <a href="http://bit.ly/2OZ5mK7">White Pumpkin Baker</a> - We make a lot of soup this time of year and I think it would be so fun to serve it in this!</div>

I've been debating changing up the playroom a little bit lately. Nothing big, but maybe switching the paint color and moving a few things around. Then I saw <a href="https://addisonswonderland.com/tag/kids-art-gallery-wall/">this gallery wall</a> and it inspired me to do something a little different with the way we displayed the kids' art. I used the <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60075295/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2NaYhvDe3QIVD0wNCh30Pwp-EAQYASABEgL8KfD_BwE">IKEA wire system</a> to display art before, but I really liked the idea of a gallery wall in here. So when I came across <a href="http://bit.ly/2N7EFBf">these frames</a> on clearance and I was sold! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The best part about <a href="http://bit.ly/2N7EFBf">these frames</a> is they open up and you can store extra artwork inside and easily switch it out! So smart! I always felt like it was a little bit of a hassle to switch things out before, but this makes it so easy. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also think these would be great for family pictures. I always want to change them out on my <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2016/09/diy-picture-ledge-shelves.html#.W669zy2ZMWo">picture ledge</a> but never get around to it. Just store the extra ones inside and switch them out as your family changes and grows or go back to the older ones when you want to take a walk down memory lane. I might grab a few more and do just that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just started on the gallery wall today and will hopefully be sharing it next week!</div>

One of my favorite, super affordable, ways to update my home with the seasons is to change out the artwork. I like to look on places like <a href="http://bit.ly/2OiUCcI">Etsy</a>, but I also really enjoy creating my own printables. I either use quotes or images from places like <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/biodivlibrary/">The biodiversity library</a>. I've shared my love of the biodiversity library before (<a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2015/11/blue-botanical-prints.html#.W6t1Li2ZMWo">here</a> and <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2016/07/free-animal-prints.html#.W6t1ay2ZMWo">here</a>). It's basically a database full of royalty free scanned images from old books. It is really fascinating just to look through all the images. There are lots of botanicals, animals, and other random things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something about the warm earth tones of vintage botanicals makes me think of fall. Here are a few of my favorites that I found on the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/biodivlibrary/">biodiversity library</a>. </div>

You should be able to right click and save any of these images and print them for your home. I like to print mine at the UPS store so I can do larger sizes and not waste all my ink.

There's definitely a trend with pretty, vintage runners in kitchens these days. They really can make such a statement in an otherwise neutral kitchen. I love the look of them, but they can get pricey. So I've rounded up some great runners that would be perfect for your kitchen without breaking the bank. In fact, all of these are under $100!</div>

If I could go back and tell my first time home buyer self one thing, it would be don't go with any of the builder's upgrades! Our first home was a new construction home that was almost complete when we bought it. We had a little time to upgrade a few things, but most of the finishes were already picked. Although I would have preferred a different color countertop and cabinet color most of the things were neutral so we were ok with that. We did decide to make a few minor upgrades, but nothing major. Looking back I wouldn't have chosen any of the upgrades for a few different reasons. Typically you pay more for the upgrades than it would be to hire them out down the road and you're also mortgaging them versus just paying out of pocket. Also, most of the time the options for the upgrades aren't the best, unless you are buying on the higher end side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So instead of choosing the builder's upgrades, I would do these simple things to create a home that stands out amongst all the others in your neighborhood. And the great things is, these ideas don't just apply to a new home, they can make any home feel more custom.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">1. Don't be afraid to paint</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paint is your best friend when it comes to transforming a home. It's definitely one of the biggest bangs for your buck and anyone can do it! If you aren't sure what colors to pick, look on Pinterest and get some ideas of colors that appeal to you. When I'm choosing a color, I always like to do a google image search of that color first to see what it looks like in different homes with different lighting. Just google the color and then click on the images tab at the top. I also like to get paint samples just to be on the safe side. It's worth the few extra dollars in my opinion. It can look so different on the walls vs. that tiny little chip. </div>

Changing out your drawer pulls makes such a difference too! We kept the knobs in our kitchen to cut down the cost and switched out just the handles. Just measure the distance between the holes for the handles and look for ones with the same measurement. </div>

Towel bars are definitely functional, but if you want a more custom look it's easy to switch them out and it's pretty inexpensive too. I prefer using hooks in a bathroom because it's easier for the kids to hang their towels on them. </div>

We also took down the towel bar above our bathtub and replaced it with some pretty art. We rarely use the bathtub and so the towel bar wasn't functional for us. I'm amazed at how much better it looks without it. Just because the builder put it there doesn't mean you have to keep it there!</div>

Hanging curtains always makes a room feel more finished and can even make the room feel bigger. I like to hang mine high and wide. I usually go about six inches to the side of the window and I only use panels that are at least 95" in length. Sadly most of the stores still only carry the 84" length but you can find lots of great longer options <a href="http://bit.ly/2MQscBQ">here</a>.</div>

I don't have a lot of pumpkin decor because I like to just use the real ones if possible. But I picked up a few of these carvable pumpkins a few years ago after halloween with plans to turn them into a pumpkin centerpiece. If you've looked on Pinterest you've probably seen several versions of this, but I thought I'd share my take on it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You start with a <a href="http://bit.ly/2MGifqE">carvable pumpkin</a>. I used an orange one because that's all they had left when I bought mine, but they come in <a href="http://bit.ly/2MGifqE">white too</a> which I think would be really pretty! </div>

Then just cut a hole out of the top big enough for a glass to fit in. I tried using a razor blade at first and ended up switching to a serrated knife. The knife made it so much easier. I made two of these, and for the first one I just eyeballed it and it was fine. But for the second one I turned the glass upside down on the top of the pumpkin and traced around it to make sure I got the exact size I hole I needed.</div>

Insert your glass and you have a festive fall vase! I chose to paint mine a grayish green (Rustoleum Charcoal Gray) because it's what I had on hand and I liked it better than the orange, but you could do it any color or leave it as is. </div>

For the arrangement I just used grocery store (Trader Joe's) flowers. I spent a little over ten dollars on the flowers and I was able to get two arrangements out of it. I also mixed in some fake flowers (the white ones) from <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Floral-Wedding/Flower-Stems/White-Fresh-Picked-Ranunculus-Spray/p/80809327">Hobby Lobby.</a> I'm not normally big on fake flowers, but I'm amazed at how real these look, even in real life! I love that I can use them over and over again too.</div>

I'm hosting a fall themed baby shower in a few weeks and I'm excited to use these as part of the decor. They'd be great for a Thanksgiving centerpiece too!</div>

For today's Moodboard Monday I'm sharing some home decor accessories that are staples in my decor. These are the things I reach for often when <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/09/my-five-favorite-tips-for-styling.html">styling a bookshelf</a> or accessorizing a room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsN3gZp5MKY7lQlUEs-sZWQBzeFlMRlmM7hcvYNAOW_KyOgwzAU5AnHDfnZNBcqEyGStMvA7XJC2iXG6aOEjYGFD1v27T-LasFOvMEFKUiDn6h69MARVo1WPRt15-G0XpXdhy4TWsXyGc/s1600/Home+Decor+Accessories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsN3gZp5MKY7lQlUEs-sZWQBzeFlMRlmM7hcvYNAOW_KyOgwzAU5AnHDfnZNBcqEyGStMvA7XJC2iXG6aOEjYGFD1v27T-LasFOvMEFKUiDn6h69MARVo1WPRt15-G0XpXdhy4TWsXyGc/s640/Home+Decor+Accessories.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://bit.ly/2xoOeGf">Bookends</a> - Bookends are great for books of course, but they also add some great textural dimension. They're perfect for bookcases, but work well on any surface that you're using books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://bit.ly/2pd8eYN">Urchins</a> - I've had these urchins in my house for a few years now and I use them all the time. They get moved around often because they work in pretty much any room. I like using them on top of a stack of books or when I need something to fill a small space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <a href="http://bit.ly/2pcQr3H"> Wood Bowl</a> - Bowls are great for filling with seasonal items (pinecones, pumpkins, etc.) or even something like remote controls or keys in the entryway. I like to keep my eye out for these when thrifting too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://bit.ly/2xolgGB">Coasters</a> - These are both functional and pretty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://bit.ly/2xnuaE1">Wood Sculpture</a> - I really love the look of this piece. I think it would be especially pretty on top of a dresser or nightstand, layered in front of a few frames or on top of some large books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://bit.ly/2xwoisr">Plant</a> - I like using a lot of <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/09/easy-houseplantsgreenery.html#.W58EhS2ZPVo">real plants</a>, but they've come a long way with fake ones too. These are especially great for spots that don't get much natural light.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <a href="http://bit.ly/2xmd89y">Gold</a> & <a href="http://bit.ly/2xrc9F8">Black Frames</a> - I love the look of layered frames. They really help fill in the back of a bookshelf or open shelving. I used <a href="http://bit.ly/2xomBx7">similar ones</a> on my <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2017/07/diy-kitchen-shelves.html#.W58B4C2ZPVo">kitchen shelves</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. <a href="http://bit.ly/2xrnd4O">Boxes</a> - Stacked boxes are great for storage (perfect for remotes on a coffee table) and help add in some horizontal dimension. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Evidently I have a thing for tassels lately because they seem to be popping up everywhere in my house! I started with my <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/08/ikea-koppang-hack.html">tassel drawer pulls</a>, then my <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/09/fall-living-room-update.html#.W5rzaC2ZPVo">vase with curtain tieback tassels</a>, and now this large DIY tassel pillow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added this body pillow to our bed a few months ago because I liked the simplicity of having one large pillow vs. several smaller ones. There was only one problem with it, there aren't any cute cases for it. Most of the ones I found were either flimsy or furry. I guess since it's meant to be slept with, the cases need to be comfortable. So when I can't find what I'm looking for I DIY it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've already made one DIY pillow cover for it, you can see that <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/03/master-bedroom-updates.html#.W5r0cS2ZPVo">here</a>. But I wanted something with a little more texture for the upcoming season change. Something about fall just screams texture to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my inspiration <a href="http://bit.ly/2p7kHgu">pillow</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0IO2vXN5afak9qAmpsdz8FhoxOiMLVpFuAx4MhysaGDj-mI2ZXNnpKRjbPLBxcwyqKT52zD2qX8AqNNGYHd22QaIIbVmY91-i0icJUnIc9YgBeFxLR0ZUGYfcBS-WE3RVq_dbJA82Wns/s1600/Tassel+Pillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0IO2vXN5afak9qAmpsdz8FhoxOiMLVpFuAx4MhysaGDj-mI2ZXNnpKRjbPLBxcwyqKT52zD2qX8AqNNGYHd22QaIIbVmY91-i0icJUnIc9YgBeFxLR0ZUGYfcBS-WE3RVq_dbJA82Wns/s640/Tassel+Pillow.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's actually a <a href="http://bit.ly/2p4zEjd">great pillow</a> if you are looking for something a little smaller than mine and it comes in a few different colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by picking out the <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Fabric-Sewing/Home-Decor-Fabric-Trim/Home-Decor-Trims/Natural-Fringe-Trim/p/108775">tassel trim</a> and <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Fabric-Sewing/Ribbons-Trim/Trims/Cut-Edge-Wide-Braid-Gimp-Trim/p/WBG80206">fringe trim</a> from Hobby Lobby. It's on sale this week too! I bought 4 yards of each and had some to spare. I also bought some cream canvas fabric to make the pillow itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out the fabric for my pillow and sewed a zipper on one end. You can also do an envelop closure on the back, whatever you prefer. I cut my fabric a few inches smaller than a normal body pillow cover because I wanted it to fit snugly and be nice and full. Then I laid it out on the table and played around with the trim to see how I wanted it laid out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQE3U8SzrMsPRJsiXb3aFx59-2Ebp2H-DyZRXptlQZHz97W0G0juIQ4qDmqEyXJEQcOWrX4rwhmY_Y5GGw9KH2YieDmWtJOJ6y7scPLuBrrVg99mEReV72_0v6hXoQ2C2oshZCd9i1ZY/s1600/diy+tassel+pillow.+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQE3U8SzrMsPRJsiXb3aFx59-2Ebp2H-DyZRXptlQZHz97W0G0juIQ4qDmqEyXJEQcOWrX4rwhmY_Y5GGw9KH2YieDmWtJOJ6y7scPLuBrrVg99mEReV72_0v6hXoQ2C2oshZCd9i1ZY/s640/diy+tassel+pillow.+.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought about just sewing the trim on at this point, but I decided to glue it in place first to help keep things secure. Trim tends to slide around, at least for me, when I'm sewing it and I didn't want crooked pieces of trim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can use any type of fabric glue, <a href="http://bit.ly/2xmiodl">this</a> is just what I had on hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd1cBWdLkS1fFtWdIixpmNCxTojay3sB1lZMKezDzDlibGJzqR8I2fmkr5Ro4MLGXk-YqChyphenhyphen3sbv25h1Ll6zSIiIPyaXxWwfvKBKT-HKkcVl5viODe4o222MFKKKq0xVJebkiQUd45mbA/s1600/diy+tassel+pillow+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd1cBWdLkS1fFtWdIixpmNCxTojay3sB1lZMKezDzDlibGJzqR8I2fmkr5Ro4MLGXk-YqChyphenhyphen3sbv25h1Ll6zSIiIPyaXxWwfvKBKT-HKkcVl5viODe4o222MFKKKq0xVJebkiQUd45mbA/s640/diy+tassel+pillow+.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I laid out a measuring tape at the top of my fabric to make sure I was keeping an equal distance between my trim pieces. Then I just glued each one in place. After the glue dried I sewed each one in place as well. You could probably skip this step, but this pillow tends to get used for a gymnastics mat and pillow fights quite often so I wanted to make sure everything was good and secure. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all the trim was in place, I put the right sides together and sewed around the edges to make the pillow. If you don't have a sewing machine I think you could create a similar look by using <a href="http://bit.ly/2xmiodl">fabric glue</a> to adhere the trim to a <a href="http://bit.ly/2xfCK7U">premade cover</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm planning to switch out the duvet and euro covers with some I have stashed away to create a little more contrast and warmth for the season. I'll be sharing those changes soon!</div>

I don't typically do a ton of fall decorating, but I do like to change a few things out to create a more cozy vibe. I typically learn towards darker, warmer colors this time of year. In my living room I kept things simple, by adding in some new pillow covers, fresh greenery, and some new art. It was easy and inexpensive and the room looks and feels a lot more like fall to me.</div>

I wanted to change up our mantle art for something a little more fall-ish so I grabbed this <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2014/04/simple-spring-mantle.html#.W5gaBS2ZPVp">DIY abstract art</a> from our bathroom and purchased <a href="http://bit.ly/2oY1fCM">this tree stump art</a> to go in a thrifted frame. I would love to incorporate this print in a larger scale somewhere else in our home too!</div>

I added some curtain tieback tassels to this vase I've had for forever and it really helped dress it up a bit. I found mine at <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Home-Decor-Frames/Decor-Pillows/Curtains-Drapery/Black-Tassel-Tieback/p/153616">Hobby Lobby</a> and was able to use the 40% off coupon too. <a href="http://bit.ly/2x3OMRH">These</a> would also be fun! Or if you're in a DIYing mood I think <a href="https://cuckoo4design.com/how-to-make-a-huge-tassel/">these</a> are so neat!</div>

The laundry room is one of those rooms that often gets forgotten about when it comes to decorating and understandably so. It's not exactly the most exciting room in the house, but with a few small additions it can be both functional and beautiful. Even if you only have a small area for laundry, and not a whole room, you can still add a few pretty, decorative touches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://bit.ly/2oUtWjU">Faux Succulent</a> - I love using <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/09/easy-houseplantsgreenery.html#.W5V3ci2ZPVo">real plants</a> whenever I can, but sometimes you just need a good no maintenance plant to add some green to a space. A laundry room is a good place to go faux because a lot of times you don't have natural light for a real plant. I love that this one looks so realistic too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://bit.ly/2N2RUrS">Flush Mount Light</a> - This light has a very low profile so it can be used in most rooms, even those with lower ceilings. I like the modern look of it too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <a href="http://bit.ly/2wWSpIV">Laundry Basket</a> - A pretty laundry basket like this is a big upgrade from the plastic ones most of us are used to. I like that it has a liner that can be washed too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://Open Shelving">Open Shelving</a> - Open shelving is great for extra storage in a laundry room and also acts as a nice spot to add some decorative touches. It also comes in a <a href="http://bit.ly/2x2iTJo">two shelf</a> option if you don't have space for three shelves. It would be great for open shelving in a kitchen too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://bit.ly/2oTuNkU">Persian Runner</a> - A Persian runner looks great in pretty much any space, including laundry rooms. I like that this one is fairly neutral and affordable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://bit.ly/2MXRbYS">Glass Jars</a> - I love using glass containers in laundry rooms for things like powdered laundry detergent or even wool dryer balls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <a href="http://bit.ly/2oUA6Rf">Wool Dryer Balls</a> - Speaking of wool dryer balls, we use them all the time and love them! I usually add a few drops of essential oil to them to make things smell good too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. <a href="http://bit.ly/2wYJ0Rl">Ironing Board Cover</a> - Sometimes it takes just a simple thing like updating your ironing board cover to make a difference in the feel of your space. I like that this one has a neutral, organic feel to it. We actually just started using one of <a href="http://bit.ly/2oUwKxs">these</a> instead of a regular ironing board. I found mine at Aldi of all places and it has been great, especially for ironing smaller things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually just finished a little mini makeover on our laundry room a few months ago and will hopefully be sharing it soon. Taking the pictures always takes me the longest! </div>

There's something about plants and greenery that brings life to a room. Up until a few years ago I didn't have any live plants in my house. I had a few fake arrangements from Homegoods, but that was the extent of my green thumb. While I'm still far from a plant expert, I've found a few that I love and have been able to successfully keep alive for longer than a few weeks! </div>

1. <a href="http://bit.ly/2wQrXlb">Fiddle Leaf Fig</a> - I have actually killed a few fiddle leaf figs, but I've learned a few tips for keeping them alive. I've had mine for several years and it's done very well. It was my Mother's Day gift when my daughter was first born so I've been extra motivated to keep it going. I usually give it one large cup of water once a week and otherwise I just ignore it. I do dust the leaves when they get dusty and I've heard shining them with coconut oil is great too. They also prefer indirect light so I keep mine near a window. They had some recently at Walmart too for around $15. I found mine at IKEA. My sister actually ordered one from <a href="http://bit.ly/2wQrXlb">this company</a> and she said the customer service was excellent. </div>

2. <a href="http://bit.ly/2wQQLc1">Snake Plant/Sansiveria</a> - This is probably my most favorite houseplant. It's so easy to keep alive. I practically ignore it and only water it whenever I remember, which isn't very often. I love the modern look of it too. I found mine at Lowe's in the indoor plant section or you can order a larger version <a href="http://bit.ly/2wQQLc1">here</a>. I've heard they clean the air too which is a nice added bonus.</div>

3. <a href="http://bit.ly/2wNnJKc">Aloe Vera</a> - This one is a new favorite for me. I also pretty much ignore this one. I've had it about a month now and so far so good. I also love having one of these around because it's great for burns and cuts. </div>

4. Fresh Eucalyptus - If you follow me on instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dwellingsbydevore/">@dwellingsbydevore</a>) you probably know this already because I talk about it often. I love using it by itself and it's the perfect base for other arrangements too. I love using it with baby's breath and white hydrangeas, but it mixes well with so many other flowers and adds such a nice organic touch. I get mine at Trader Joe's and prefer the silver dollar and seeded variety. For $2.99/bunch you can't beat it. It smells amazing and lasts forever.</div>

5. Asparagus Fern - I just discovered this one recently too. I love how full this one is and how much texture it adds. I water this one a few times a week and I've found it prefers to have some natural sunlight. I found mine at <a href="https://www.lowes.com/pd/1-5-Gallon-Hanging-Basket-Asparagus-Fern-L5775/4772487">Lowes</a>.</div>

I also really like using <a href="http://bit.ly/2M67LjY">fake succulents</a> because most of the time they look so realistic. I know the real ones are supposed to be easy to care for, but I haven't found that to be true for me. If you have any tips please let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear about some of your favorite, low maintenance house plants too! </div>

I'm so excited to be guest hosting today for My Five Favorites. It's a fun series hosted each month by <a href="http://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2018/09/my-five-favorite-tips-for-styling.html">Jennifer from Dimples & Tangles</a>, <a href="https://www.shineyourlightblog.com/my-five-favorite-ways-to-style-bookshelves/">Lisa from Shine Your Light</a>, and <a href="http://simpledetailsblog.blogspot.com/2018/09/my-five-favorite-ways-to-style-bookcase.html">Pam from Simple Details</a>. This month's theme is about our five favorite tips for styling bookshelves. Sometimes the thought of styling a bookshelf can be overwhelming, but once you get started it can be fun! Hopefully you'll find these tips helpful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>1. Incorporate Books in a Different Way</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even if you don't have a vast collection of books, you can still easily incorporate them into your styling. You can find cheap books at thrift stores, garage sales, and even the dollar store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have several that you want to display, arrange them by color for a more cohesive look. A lot of times I remove the sleeve to keep things streamlined.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or if you want a more monochromatic look, cover the books with <a href="http://bit.ly/2MDVyIw">white paper</a> or even paint them a fun color with <a href="http://bit.ly/2MF3uJG">chalk paint.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsVXMdt-pSCln7H8MPh8kf5PWHhRVHeDieKrTMtML8KGzFKqSQVFWRrNAGhVN4Q59ByRFedL1ov_TkshyEB6YsqtFiXixzHbHDHxda3pSyZ_eNMlHq23nscUp0ox_dEx60ruu_J8bhUw/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsVXMdt-pSCln7H8MPh8kf5PWHhRVHeDieKrTMtML8KGzFKqSQVFWRrNAGhVN4Q59ByRFedL1ov_TkshyEB6YsqtFiXixzHbHDHxda3pSyZ_eNMlHq23nscUp0ox_dEx60ruu_J8bhUw/s640/13.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can even try turning your books around to display the pages of the book versus the spine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7qXVkCrQe1VZvuXYvFqTtfj1STNi-pP-E_fTNhqU8cJ1AcsQF495aidz6C7iQQKbmokmbgyDop5c61FUd7tFrDiEo-lA0WRasHIpCUiwjelI479A95u6dHOVNQjGxkRGSbcHKSB-pH0/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7qXVkCrQe1VZvuXYvFqTtfj1STNi-pP-E_fTNhqU8cJ1AcsQF495aidz6C7iQQKbmokmbgyDop5c61FUd7tFrDiEo-lA0WRasHIpCUiwjelI479A95u6dHOVNQjGxkRGSbcHKSB-pH0/s640/4.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also like turning some of the books horizontally and leaving some vertical. </div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>2. Add something green</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm all about using plants in decor. There's something about them that just adds life to a room. And if you aren't a green thumb, there are lots of great fake options. If you are going to go with fake, I like to use succulents like <a href="http://bit.ly/2oj9qJC">this</a> or <a href="http://bit.ly/2LA8ZUy">this</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>3. Decorate the back of the bookshelf</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many great removable wallpapers out right now. They are a great way to add interest and dimension to the back of the bookshelf. I really like <a href="http://bit.ly/2PLMaAt">this one</a> and the ones from <a href="https://www.chasingpaper.com/collections/color">this company</a>. </div>

I labeled pretty much everything in our <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/08/pantry-makeover.html#.W4WCHi2ZPVo">pantry</a>, partly for necessity, but also to help make it prettier to look at!</div>

I'm not sure why, but labels just make things look better. It adds a nice touch and also makes things more functional. I usually make my own with <a href="http://bit.ly/2ohCDED">this machine</a>, but you can also print some out with your printer using a cute font, or buy an inexpensive label maker like <a href="http://bit.ly/2MyK60K">this one</a> that makes fun 3d labels. <a href="http://bit.ly/2MF6pC8">These</a> are great for labeling boxes that don't have a spot for a label.</div>

Bookshelves are great for storage and organization, but it's nice to break up some of the more functional items with things that are pretty and meaningful. </div>

Our office shelves are mainly for function. They store lots of my DIY stuff and some other things like my printer and important documents. Including some meaningful items helps add interest and allows us to display things that are important to us without giving up the functionality. We bought that green wooden box on our honeymoon and I love having it in here. It helps break up all the boxes. And speaking of boxes, if you are using boxes for storage on a bookshelf, mix them up by choosing a few different colors and sizes to keep things looking interesting. </div>

Pictures or art are also great meaningful items to include. If they don't have a stand on the back, just lean them against the back of the shelf and place a smaller heavier object in front to keep it from sliding. I like layering a few frames in front of each other too.</div>

For me, September signifies the beginning of fall. The weather may not be on board, but it still has me excited for the upcoming fall season. We don't use our outdoor space a ton in the summer, because it's just too hot to really enjoy it, but we really like to be out there as much as possible in the fall. So for today's moodboard Monday, I'm rounding up some items I think would be fun for fall outdoor entertaining. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadJTtD3_D0qstmFVArcONaTbVfie_h3sYRguXRh0yhlLhB7vY5slepe9A9PHlcbQuJ3xxuOnKpFaenJCrH2TRqb7zbPGwMyJR-s3FxljGwFQX8FyvgekxvWCOFov9NYzEwM9VONYfFyM/s1600/fall+entertaining.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadJTtD3_D0qstmFVArcONaTbVfie_h3sYRguXRh0yhlLhB7vY5slepe9A9PHlcbQuJ3xxuOnKpFaenJCrH2TRqb7zbPGwMyJR-s3FxljGwFQX8FyvgekxvWCOFov9NYzEwM9VONYfFyM/s640/fall+entertaining.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <a href="http://bit.ly/2oxQxCX">Disposable Plates</a> - I love these disposable <a href="http://bit.ly/2oxQxCX">mudcloth plates</a>, they are super affordable and look cuter than a lot of disposable tableware. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://bit.ly/2ovksvn">Disposable Hot Cups</a> - These would be perfect for hot chocolate or coffee at a party. This is our favorite <a href="http://bit.ly/2PWGfIN">hot chocolate</a> (and is refined sugar free too.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <a href="http://bit.ly/2owujkD">Cutting Board</a> - I've been so inspired by all the fun chartreuse boards lately on social media. I think this cutting board would be a great foundation for one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://bit.ly/2NF7d69">Gold Flatware</a> - These are super affordable and take plastic flatware to a whole new level.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://bit.ly/2PXGvYb">Roasting Sticks</a> - Super cute and great for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <a href="http://bit.ly/2PVgmcB">Galvanized Box</a> - I have been wanting to make a s'mores kit ever since I saw the idea on <a href="http://nestingwithgrace.com/friday-favorites-starts-with-mothers-day-gift-guide/">Nesting With Grace</a>. I think this box would be perfect for it. Basically it's a box for all your s'mores supplies (chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, etc.) I might even do these for teacher gifts at Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <a href="http://bit.ly/2Ccy8Fm">Rechargeable Diffuser</a> - We try to avoid candles as much as possible and diffuse essential oils instead. We love diffusing citronella and lemongrass oil when we are outdoors, but it can be a pain dragging the diffuser outside and trying to find a plug. I love that this one is portable and rechargeable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. <a href="http://bit.ly/2ozDDnW">Gold Straws</a> - I've been looking for some reusable stainless steel straws and love that these are gold! They got great reviews too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. <a href="http://bit.ly/2ovlJT8">Tassel Throw</a> - A good cozy throw is always a great addition to your outdoor space for entertaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. <a href="http://bit.ly/2ND2ZMh">Outdoor Lights</a> - We don't really have a spot to hang lights like these, but I just love the ambiance they create.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

When we first got married we used several pieces of furniture from my husband's bachelor pad. One of those things was our dining room table. I gave it a facelift and even added glass to the top (you can see that DIY <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2011/02/moment-weve-all-been-waiting-for.html#.W4gjNi2ZPVo">here</a>) and it worked for several years. However, once we had kids we realized the glass wasn't going to be best for us. So we purchased a deeply discounted table from the damaged/return section of Basset furniture. And you know how that goes, once you change one thing it sets off a domino effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We use our formal dining room for <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/08/home-office.html#.W4gkSi2ZPVo">my office</a>, so we wanted this room to seat as many people as possible. In order to do that, we ended up switching out our old chairs for <a href="http://bit.ly/2C92acO">these</a> (also found <a href="http://bit.ly/2wshps3">here</a>). I really liked the texture of the rattan paired with a more modern silhouette.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYXOV4lVLsFSNZEwuvT2DrwJfNC3mQFGvzdFzoFLIntAurs9EBogkCUT4CEdXsn-92iQIncZVU2iyGNnBCpyM4fG3zg2DNJSggbJREQRdXgzYgXKePafqe4Ydu7iIvjcM3I1PW-zG32o/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYXOV4lVLsFSNZEwuvT2DrwJfNC3mQFGvzdFzoFLIntAurs9EBogkCUT4CEdXsn-92iQIncZVU2iyGNnBCpyM4fG3zg2DNJSggbJREQRdXgzYgXKePafqe4Ydu7iIvjcM3I1PW-zG32o/s640/3.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also added <a href="http://bit.ly/2PmFcRA">these blackout curtain panels</a>. They are such a great weight, they're double wide, and they're wipeable! With little ones, they get touched with dirty little fingers several times a day and I've found that most of the time I can wipe them clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And lastly we switched out our <a href="http://bit.ly/2C1hWGH">old light</a> (which I still love) for <a href="http://bit.ly/2PSgFoo">this linear lantern</a>. It's a knock of <a href="http://bit.ly/2wpv2s8">a much pricier version</a>, but I think it looks almost identical. The thing that sold me on this was the scale, The new table was much larger than our previous table and it ended up making the old light look out of place. I considered adding two lights above the table, because I love that look, but it would have gotten pricey to rewire it and purchase two lights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you are standing in the kitchen, you can see the <a href="https://www.scoutandnimble.com/products/glass-orb-14-pendant">island lights</a>, the <a href="http://bit.ly/2wnZ8fJ">living room light</a>, and the <a href="http://bit.ly/2PSgFoo">dining room light</a> so I wanted to make sure everything coordinated. I ended up going with the polished chrome and black finish and I really think that helped tie the black living room light and the polished chrome pendant lights together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the best parts about switching our light out, for me anyway, was that when I originally ordered the light it arrived damaged. It wasn't a big deal, but I called customer service to see what could be done and they told me to keep it and they would send me another one at no additional charge! I was shocked. My sister just moved into a new home and we were able to fix the light and make it work in her dining room. Next time I'm over there I'll take a few pictures so I can show you how it looks in her home as well. Hope you all have a great weekend!</div>

A few months ago we were in the market for new nightstands and I felt like we couldn't find anything that I loved for less than $500. I had a few parameters, not wood colored and fairly substantial so that they wouldn't feel out of place next to our king sized bed. I searched for the longest time and finally settled on the IKEA Koppang chest. It was fairly plain, but the size was right, the price was great, and it had lots of storage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out by changing the hardware, but that didn't make as dramatic of an impact as I was hoping it would. Then I saw <a href="http://bit.ly/2ogoZBW">this beautiful nightstand</a> and was totally inspired.</div>

Unfortunately the knobs I used are no longer available, but this should work on pretty much any knob as long as it has some sort of shank. Something like <a href="http://bit.ly/2LxHjPQ">this</a> or <a href="http://bit.ly/2MBhILt">this</a> would be pretty! So basically all I did was tie tassels on the knobs I already had. Since the material of the tassels was a little slick, I used some hot glue to hold the knotted part together. Just a small dab. <a href="http://bit.ly/2of4AwM">These</a> are the tassels I used and they were perfect! I think I paid around $10 for 20 of them and they come in a few different colors. I have several left over and might even try making some earrings from them. </div>

For today's Moodboard Monday, I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of pillows that will help cozy up your home for fall. I personally tend to go more for pillows with rich textures and colors instead of fall themed pillows that can only be used at certain times of the year. I know I've said it before, but it really is amazing how much pillows can change the look of a room! </div>

Have you started making small changes in your home for fall or are you holding out a few more weeks? I haven't done much yet, but I'm definitely getting excited for it!</div>

I've done several posts about projects in our office, but I realized the other day that I haven't done an actual post with the whole office and all of those projects pulled together in one place. So today I'm doing just that! Although I end up using my laptop and traveling around the house most of the time, I do still use this space from time and time. And as a DIYer, I love having a place to keep all my supplies organized. </div>

For the desk, I <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2014/06/painting-laminate-furniture.html#.W3_UbS2ZPVo">painted these laminate filing cabinets</a> and added a basic desk top from IKEA. I'm really happy with how well the bases have held up. They have had a few chips here and there, but overall they've been great!</div>

I had so much fun creating Monday's <a href="http://www.dwellingsbydevore.com/2018/08/moodboard-monday-fall-home-decor-finds.html">Moodboard</a> post that was all about fall. I typically try to hold myself off from fall decorating until early September, mainly so I don't get tired of things before Thanksgiving, but I'll admit I've already started doing a few small things like switching out my pillow covers with <a href="http://bit.ly/2BxxF03">these</a>. I also really loved the <a href="http://bit.ly/2nXZlBq">doormat</a> from Monday's post and thought I'd try DIYing my own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20052187/">this basic doormat</a> from IKEA. If you don't have an IKEA near you, <a href="http://bit.ly/2nWm7d3">this one</a> is similar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I used my <a href="http://bit.ly/2MuwEes">Silhouette machine</a> to cut the letters out of contact paper. If you don't have a cutting machine like this, you can do the same thing with an <a href="http://bit.ly/2OViqjs">X-ACTO knife</a>. I would just draw out your words with a permanent marker and then cut around the edges with the knife. I used contact paper to create my stencil because I had some lying around and I think it worked pretty well. If you are using a silhouette machine, I referenced <a href="https://theturquoisehome.com/stencil-contact-paper-silhouette/">this post</a> and the settings were perfect for cutting contact paper. </div>

It was a little tricky peeling the back off and getting it positioned, but with a little patience I got it to work. Because of the rough texture, the contact paper doesn't adhere super well to the rug, so I added painters tape around the edges to hold it in place.</div>

Then I lightly sprayed it with several coats of black spraypaint. Don't get too close to the mat or the air from the spraypaint may blow the edges of the stencil up.</div>

This was my first time attempting a mat like this and here are a few things I learned that I would do differently next time. Before I adhered the contact paper to the mat I would spray the back with some <a href="http://bit.ly/2nVq2qA">spray adhesive</a> to give it a little extra grip. I actually sprayed under the edges of some of the areas with this spray and it did seem to help. I think spraying the whole thing would make a big difference. It help the edges stay in place a little better and prevent some of the bleeding. I also might try painting it with something other than spraypaint to prevent the overspray. </div>

I know this post may get an eye roll from a few of you, but I'm so ready for fall! It is easily my favorite season. And even if you aren't ready to start decorating for fall it's always fun to see what's out there and get some ideas together. For me, fall always makes me think of textures, rich colors, and organic elements. Things I include in my decor year round, but especially focus on this time of year. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pillows - Pillows are the quickest and easiest way to change the feel of a space. I love that they don't take up a ton of space and fold flat for easy storage when you aren't using them. This <a href="http://bit.ly/2L7Anci">tassel pillow</a> is so fun! I bought two of <a href="http://bit.ly/2L7gEJr">these camel colored pillows</a> during a big sale a few weeks ago. They were less than $5 when I bought them, but they are still a great deal at full price! They are a much thicker material than I was expecting and the color reads more camel vs. orange in real life which I like. Just pop a <a href="http://bit.ly/2vTeHvo">feather pillow insert</a> in them or cover a pillow you already own. They have a zipper closure that makes this super easy. Animal print is another great way to get that fall feeling. I like the more muted tones in these <a href="http://bit.ly/2vYDu1e">fawn print pillows</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2L8WDCF">Throw Blanket</a> - A cozy throw is another way to add texture. Throw this over the back of a sofa or the foot of the bed and it instantly warms up the room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lighting - Something about a lit candle on a dreary day just screams fall to me. I like <a href="http://bit.ly/2L3CBsV">these taper candle holders</a>. They can easily transition to Christmas too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eucalyptus - You know I love eucalyptus any time of year! Add <a href="http://bit.ly/2vV3avO">this wreath</a> to your front door and a few white pumpkins and you're good to go! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2vVkD7t">Doormat</a> - Isn't this darling? I'm thinking about trying to DIY something similar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Seasonal/Fall/Fall-Containers/Wood-Dough-Bowl---Large/p/80883871">Wood Dough Bowl</a> - This is a great staple decor item to have on hand year round. Just change the contents seasonaly to change up the look. I think it would look so pretty filled with white pumpkins for fall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
White Pumpkins - White pumpkins are my go to for fall. I also love the heirloom varieties too, with all their unique textures, shapes, and colors. I usually get mine at Trader Joe's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2vVvkGQ">Gold Loop Frames</a> - I really like the unique look of these frames, that little loop at that top adds so much doesn't it? They could be used for anything year round, but I think it would be so fun to add pressed leaves to them for fall. I may even try to make some with my daughter. Or you could do some ink prints with leaves as well. I would prop them up on my mantle or use them in a vignette. You could also pop a free printable in it. I love this one from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/biodivlibrary/7335557000/in/photolist-digCQX-cbdDwG">The Biodiversity Library</a>. You can print an 8 x 10 for a few dollars at The UPS store or print it for free at home! And of course you can use frames that you have or grab some for a few dollars at your local thrift store. </div>
