Decorating for the Fall

I really need to get with it as far as fall decor around my house.  Since we've moved, I've just been focusing on other things.  First it was getting new furniture, then it was hanging things on the wall and getting things framed, and lately it's been the hunt for throw pillows for the couch.  That was the worst of all because I am so picky and couldn't find anything suitable!  We finally got some over the weekend, I had a Skype session with my sister to make sure everything in the living room looked good, and we're done!

OK so fall decorations... this morning I finally got what I already have out but I think I need a little more.  I want a little pumpkin and a wreath.  And something fall-ish to put in an apothecary jar.  I know it's almost November so I'm super behind, but I don't decorate for Christmas until December 1st so I still have weeks of fall to enjoy!  I'm heading to Michael's today, so here are some fall decor ideas to inspire me and help get my craft on.

Making a monogram with silver thumbtacks in a pumpkin


I really like this burlap wreath and it's a DIY that's simple enough for me!


I love how simple these apothecary jars are with just nuts and ribbons


If we get tired of eating all those apples we picked, maybe I'll make these (tutorial here)


How cute are these?!


Some leaves and string and it's a festive votive!


I could do something like this instead of a wreath


Do you have any simple fall decor ideas for me??

    I have been really bad as far holiday decorating goes this year...it just keeps getting pushed further down my to-do list! Thanks for the cute ideas, I love the acorns in the glass jars, so fun!

    Thanks for the highlight :) I love those pinecones! They would look really pretty with lots of silver spray paint and glitter (or gold) for Christmas.

    Oh I love the wreath and the mason jars full of pine cones. I think anything involving a pumpkin is affordable and soooo seasonal. A coat of gold paint...some glitter...and some candles makes a great display!

    I love all these ideas and should do something like that for out home, but I'm too lazy this year to do so. Can't wait to see what your place looks like after you get done decorating!

    Instead of carving out apples to make tea light holders, I usually use the leftover mini pumpkins instead. Have a good weekend...I'll be making meatloaf!
