Simple Autumn Decor [2019]

I just couldn’t help it. I wanted to go ahead and decorate for fall. I know that the first day of isn’t until the 23rd, however I had some free time this weekend and I just needed to work with my hands. I took a whole 6.5 hours deep cleaning my home using my handy home cleaning checklist (comment below if you want to have that as a nice little freebie). I know that you’re probably thinking “SIX WHOLE FREAKING HOURS?!” And my answer is yes. But this was a comprehensive cleaning, my friends. There were baseboards and vents and the like being done. (Okay, I’m done justifying it.)

ANYWHO. I had some fall decor that I really wanted to put it up but first and foremost we needed to take care of this.

Y’all. This is the cord- apocalypse that I’ve posted about on my Instastories asking for help. It’s been insane. So of course I had to fix this. IT. WAS. TIME. I also wanted to go into our garage and grab some of my antique windows and chalkboards as well as look for some of my fall decor. Now this year I have a fireplace in addition to the shelves in my living room. So I wanted to also run to my nearest TJ Maxx/Homegoods/Ross in order grab some items for that. So, here’s the shelves all nice and “cordless”.

Yaaaaaay! It wasn’t completely cordless but it was close enough for me to breathe an organized sigh of relief. So, with my cords organized I was able to finish with this.

And that’s it so far. I’m going to add some pumpkins but it is DEFINITELY too early for pumpkins. (And too hot for that matter. 90 degrees in September is a travesty.) I’m going to probably end up punching some holes in my tin cans, which were from an event I did a few years ago, in order to create some “starry” effects when I light the tea lights within them.

I’m also looking for some dope throw pillows. I would love some black & white buffalo check plaid pillows to tie in with my banners hanging up on the mantle! So if you know where to grab some, send me a DM. Up next is the front porch and the back patio! Can’t wait to show you those!
