How To Decorate For Fall with Secondhand Finds
Simple and secondhand; don’t those two words just go together so beautifully?
This year I felt the urge to really decorate our home for the season (it could be all this time at home); here are simple ideas on how to bring in the season with affordable secondhand finds. Good for the planet & the pocketbook. #winning
Stemware & Platters
One thing that is not in short supply at secondhand stores & estate sales are stemware and serving pieces.
Holiday season is the perfect time to get creative and use up those platters.
I love this fall cookie board idea from Hoosier Homemade; it would be very simple and easy to create.
Jennifer’s Tip: buy platters in white or other neutral colors; you can use them for all holidays rather than just fall or Halloween!
Spooky Not Scary Halloween Decorations
Bottles abound, especially at country estate sales. Buy up a collection in the same color glass and create yourself a spooky but not scary halloween tablescape.
Are you dreaming of creating space in your home and making money at the same time?
Well, I’ve got you covered!
Let’s get those unwanted items out of the house and money in your pocket with these 5 easy steps!
Bowls & Cake Stands
I’m learning that is important to vary the height of decorations, especially on a mantle or a sideboard or a bookshelf. Getting a two for one deal out of bowls and cake stands sounds like a good use of resources to me.
Pair classic patterns like blue & white with muted fall decor (from Miss Mustard Seed).
Painting Faux Pumpkins
We’ve sold our fair share of faux pumpkins that are fairly ugly IMO. I love the idea of painting them to match your decor, because muddy orange might not be it. ;)
