Fall Decorating.....(and a few pics of Bodie of course)

I'll start off with a few pics of our crazy little man! Is he ever giving me a run for my money...ha ha! He is such a mess, but words cannot describe how in love we all are with him....even when he is dragging out every single pot and pan and measuring cups (his favorite) all over the house and doesn't give a fig when we tell him "NO" a million times a day...he still manages to melt our hearts!

He's cutting some more teeth and goes after anything he can sink his teeth into...including our toes...OUCH!

He looks like such an angel here.....don't be fooled!!!

Oh, but he's got such a face!!


It's no secret that Fall is my favorite time of year....it just makes me so happy...I love the colors, I love the weather, I love everything about it which is why I try and make it last as long as possible! I usually try to have everything out by Sept. 1st, that way I have a good 3 months to enjoy all my fall decor! Here a few things I did in the living room and entry way...I have more through out the house, but I'll have to take pics of those later.
I put a dough bowl with gourds and apples on the buffet....those dough bowls from Belgium sure do provide lots of decorating ideas....should of bought more!



More stuff on the buffet...the willow tree is new this year, it has little acorns on the branches...I love it! Acorns are my new favorite this year.



I got this crock from PB and I love it so much...but I couldn't believe how stinking HUGE it was when I got it....it was hard finding enough of anything to fill it up...but, luckily I found these cattail things in my box of fall flowers, I forgot all about them and was so excited when I didn't have to go out and buy something new...and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how they look!
I bought white slipcovers for my chairs when we moved here and last year I found the two orange slipcovers on EBAY for something ridiculous like a buck a piece...I thought they would look good as the two end chairs on the table...I love how they bring the color into the room!




Gourds on the piano....I need to find a gourd farm around here...I got these in Farmington 10 years ago!




The dough table in the living room....I may change this up a little bit, but it works for now!



A shot of my new (used) couch! Craigslist is the bomb diggity! I found the Erktorp Ikea couch a few months ago....the slipcovers can be bleached and it looked like a brand new couch...now if I can keep little munchkin and his dirty hands away from it!

I copied the pillows from a PB catalog...I just used fabric paint and a stencil I made with my cricut machine...I think they look pretty darn cute and I saved like 50 bucks! (seriously, PB thinks their doo-doo doesn't stink...whatever)



A look into the living room/dining room.



The entry way ended up being one of my favorite places this year....I am so in love with my settee....I just used things I already had...the pumpkin pictures are ones I made years ago using a book that I cut up and the eye chart thing is totally my favorite thing I've bought this year....Target is a very, very scary place for me...ha ha!






I love the colors and the black and white!




Simple wreaths in a plate rack







Entry table....Joel pointed out that the harvest sign is off...ah well, Bodie was not having anymore of my decorating fun....he wanted to PLAY! Anywhoo, there is the fall decor so far...how can these colors make anyone NOT want to cozy up on the couch with hot chocolate and a good movie!! Now, if only the weather would cooperate!

Surprise! The computer came on this site a little fast but I'm having trouble commenting. I hate this thing but I love the decorations. Fall is my favorite time of the year too. I love the little man pictures too. He is such a little doll. What a combination! Bodie and Fall. You are so talented! Now let's see if this thing will post.

I love love love everything... makes me sad that I don't have anything "fally" around my house yet!!! I was given an "Autumn Wreath" yankee candle for my b'day so at least it smells like fall!!! I hate that you made those pillows!! I love them!!! Everything looks amazing!!And since when do you order from PB?? Did y'all win the lottery?? haha
And p.s. I can't wait to finally be able to give Bodie a squeeze in a few months!
