Frugal Fall Decorating Inspiration

by Mandi on September 27, 2010

Last week, Myra shared how she uses burlap for much of her fall decorating. In the comments of that post, Dani asked if we could share more frugal fall decorating ideas, so I’ve put together a gallery of some of my very favorites from around the blogosphere!

AH – I was JUST going to make #3 with the girls today

Another idea for decorating…we collected acorns and filled up a glass vase

oh, my goodness, I love these! Especially the pine cone garland … I can see how that could transition right into Christmas. Thanks for the round-up!

I cannot wait to find the perfect paper to make the paper pumpkins! I am also loving the gourds on candlesticks. So simple, easy, and classy! Great ideas!

LOVE hot keys – I’ve recently discovered Ctrl+L for Firefox to get to the url bar and Ctrl+U in Firefox to see the source code for a page (when I’m trying to figure out how they got it to look the way they did).

I find it so hard to get motivated with two kids one 3 and 1 1/2…I spend more time breaking up fights and never getting one job done. I long for the day I can accomplish a list!

Hi Jeff!
Great post on getting the nudge to get us moving. I think one of the key ones is taking itty bitty steps towards it. I have been working towards working out every morning by getting dressed down to tennis shoes in the morning. It seems kinda stupid not to at least hop on the treadmill for a few minutes! It hasn’t worked perfectly, but it is helping, and I think it will kick in even more the longer I do it!

Can you tell us how you use these twitter lists specifically. Can you give examples? Thanks

Yes that’s the problem for sure. So many great things out there that are wonderful and exciting but might not be right for whatever season of life we are in. This is why knowing our priorities and intentions are so critical as it allows us to contemplate everything according to that criteria.

I hear ya. I think it’s a lot like Ramblings of a Woman said in her comment. So many great opportunities that it’s hard to draw the line. Doing a time chart (I’ll write more on this soon) before ever saying yes to something is an excellent way to see how it’s even possible to add yet one more thing.

I don’t believe so. However if you want to do something like that I would highly recommend checking out Google+. You can send posts specifically to certain “Circles” of people.

Hope that helps!

Oh yes!
