The very first sign of fall happened this week. We had a couple of dark, rainy days, and it was chilly enough to reach for a sweatshirt. It may have been my imagination, but I swear I could smell fall in the air. So…I thought it was time to share a DIY fall decor plan, and get the ball rolling.
DIY Fall Decor Plan
Fall on the Porch
- I never think it’s necessary to reinvent the wheel. I am using the same navy blue planters I used for the summer. You can get all the details on them {HERE.} Since I didn’t have to spend money on new planters, I was able to splurge on a new layered doormat set. It hasn’t arrived, so I can’t show it just yet…but I can’t wait to get it!
- Mums will go in the planters, with some ivy left over from summer planters.
- There will be new pillows on the rockers, plus some yet-to-be-decided accessories. The only thing I know for sure is that white pumpkins will be involved.
- Last but not least, a new wreath. I fell in love with this wreath online, but didn’t want to spend that much money. So I went looking, and found this wreath at Hobby Lobby. With a few small tweaks, I think it will be beautiful, and look very much like the pricier one from Williams-Sonoma. I also found a similar wreath that’s available at Walmart, and it’s in the shopping widget below.
Thrifty seasonal decorating tip: simply add the colors of the season to your existing decor. In my case, even though I have a lot of neutrals, I also strongly feature shades of blue. Those blues are all staying right where they are, and I’m adding russet and gold.
DIY Fall Decor Inside
- I’m not sure about the entry. I would love a show-stopping natural arrangement for the little chest. Hopefully inspiration will hit soon!
- For the living room: I mentioned in the last edition of Wednesday Weekly Wish List that I want to update the plate wall, and add some fall color. The new plates have arrived, and they are perfect. The shelves will get pumpkins and fresh natural elements. I got some new denim pillow covers from the Gap Home line at Walmart. I’m sure my dough bowl will make an appearance. I want lots of seeded eucalyptus, maybe some lamb’s ear, and candles that smell like cinnamon!
- I’m working on a brand new and exclusive set of fall printables for OSP readers. I want to frame a set for myself, and use them either in the living room or dining room…so stay tuned for that!

Until next time…
