My $2 Fall Kitchen Decor {I Told You I Was Thrifty}
So I really went all out on styling my kitchen for Fall this year. I spent a whopping $2 on a little plastic pumpkin from Walmart. Everything else you’ve seen before in some place or another in my house. I just changed it up a little.
That burlap vase with the leaves is the one from this post, I just turned it around so the bee motif is in the back, then I added a couple of pine cones tied on with jute. The chalkboard was the one I made for my parents’ anniversary party, and the black and white pitcher is the one I got from my BFF for my birthday. And there’s the big-budget pumpkin right there beside it.
Remember this burlap in a gold frame? I used it for my spoon art in the Spring, but I re-made it into this leaf specimen art for Fall by cutting leaf silhouettes from scrapbook paper I already had. Just tape on the leaves and labels and you’re done!
Nothing too fancy, just fun for Fall. Remember, you don’t need to spend big money on your Fall decor. Use what you have and dress it up for the season. Save your money and buy a fabulous Fall handbag instead. Now that’s money well spent!

With that kitchen as a back drop… everything looks gorgeous! The framed chalk art is fantastic.
I love your casual {thrifty!} ode to Autumn.

Cute! And where did you find the fun kitchen towels?

The chevron was from Target several months ago. The polka-dot is one I've had for years 🙂

so far I have bought orange and brown leaves, sunflowers, and a pussy willow for a vase in my living room and a little orange pumpkin with leaves on the top all were from the dollar store, so my marble table is fall decorated for a total of $5.00 I also bought a small garland of leaves, a pack of orange sunflowers and a plain round wreath I am going to put decorate the wreath and hang it on my front door, will be a total of 4 bucks including the glue stick. It can be done on a budget(pic posted on my fb)

OH how pretty! I just love shopping my house to decorate, don't you?!? I've not started my fall decorating but have started to gather things to decorate with. Second blooms of lovely lavender, big bouquets of thyme, a few hydrangea blossoms, and cattails found along the stream beds sprayed with clean spray "paint" to seal them so they don't poof all over the living room.
Thank you so very much for sharing your inspirations! I am definitely going to have to go take a look at chalkboard art on Pinterest now!! Once again thank you for taking the time to share with us!!

Your chalkboard is amazing! I'm a first-time visitor to your blog, although I have heard of it before (through guest posts on other blogs, perhaps?), and I have to say that I.love.your.header. It's so whimsical and graphic and I just LOVE IT! New follower here. 🙂

It looks like an antique decor but it is very cute. Also, the mantle before I barely forgot. Beautifully done.

Love your blog, your style and your decor. I was inspired to create the chalkboard art on my little chalk board. I have to say, not too bad for my second attempt at recreating chalk board art…especially since I am not to artistic. Thank you for the inspiration.
