POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor witho POV: you made the cutest DIY Halloween decor without buying a single thing 👻📖

This is your reminder that fall decor doesn’t have to be expensive! Some of my favorite seasonal decorations are DIY projects made with supplies I already have at home, and this spooky cute DIY ghost banner might be one of my favorites yet.

I started by brewing about 4 bags of black tea and letting it cool. While the tea was cooling, I tore a few pages out of an old book I already had and placed them in a shallow baking dish with the tea. I let the pages soak for several hours to give them that perfectly aged, vintage look.

Once the tea-stained book pages were dry, I used a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to trace little ghosts onto each page. Then I cut them out, added tiny faces with a Sharpie, and attached them to twine using mini clothespins.

And that’s it! 👻

I hung my DIY ghost garland on the hutch in my dining room, and I think it adds the perfect amount of spooky cute Halloween decor without spending a bunch of money.

You could easily customize this budget-friendly fall DIY too! Instead of ghosts, try pumpkins, leaves, bats, or whatever shape fits your fall decor. The possibilities are endless!

Save this easy DIY Halloween decor idea for your next fall craft night, and tell me: would you make the ghosts or switch them out for another fall shape?!

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED If you have a major sweet tooth like me, you NEED to try this fun fall dessert idea! Instead of a traditional charcuterie board, load it up with all your favorite cookies, candies, chocolates, and seasonal treats for the ultimate fall dessert charcuterie board. 🍫🍬🍪

The best part?! It’s completely NO BAKE 🙌 Just grab your favorite fall and Halloween treats, arrange them on a board, and you have an easy dessert that looks like you put way more effort into it than you actually did. 😂

This would be SO cute for a Halloween party, fall girls’ night, Friendsgiving, movie night, or any fall get-together. 🎃👻 And you can easily customize it with whatever treats you love!

Honestly, I think dessert charcuterie boards might be better than regular charcuterie boards… but maybe that’s just my sweet tooth talking. 😆

Would you make a fall dessert board like this?! And more importantly… what treat are you grabbing FIRST?! 👇🏻

Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! Come style my screened in porch for fall with me! 🎃

Who says the front porch gets to have all the fun?! 😂 I spend WAY more time on our screened-in porch, so of course I had to give it a cozy little fall makeover too!

This bar cart is one of my favorite spots to decorate because it’s so easy to switch out with the seasons. A few pumpkins, some warm fall colors, and simple seasonal touches instantly make this space feel so much cozier for fall. 🍁

And since this is basically my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee, I want it to feel just as festive as the rest of our home!

Of course, the cats also think the pumpkins are here specifically for them to knock over. 😹 Apparently they have VERY strong opinions about my fall porch decor.

Are you decorating your outdoor spaces for fall too, or do you keep all the pumpkins inside?! 🎃

DIY mercury glass pumpkins that still look this go DIY mercury glass pumpkins that still look this good YEARS later?! Sign me up! 🎃

I made these mercury glass pumpkins several years ago, and I’m still so in love with how they turned out! They honestly look just as good today as they did when I first made them, which makes this one of my favorite budget-friendly fall DIYs.

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree pumpkin and turning it into fall decor that looks way more expensive than it actually was. 🙌🏻 These have that beautiful vintage mercury glass look and are perfect for adding a little cozy, high-end touch to your fall and Halloween decor.

And the best part? You only need a few supplies and a few dollars to recreate them!

Comment “mercury glass” below and I’ll send you the full step-by-step tutorial! 🎃

They may sound fancy, but I promise this apple cider cookie recipe is actually so easy to make! 🙌

If you love apple desserts, fall cookies, and anything that makes your kitchen smell like autumn, you HAVE to try these! 🍎🍪

Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… BUT YOUR SUMMER FLOWERS DIDN’T GET THE MEMO 😂

I’ve been working on my fall front porch this weekend, and I’m loving how it’s coming together so far! 

It’s still SO warm here in North Carolina, which means all of my summer flowers and plants are still going strong. So instead of my usual neutral fall porch decor, we’re going a little more colorful this year and I think it looks so pretty! 🍂🌸

I added a new pumpkin doormat for a little fall refresh, but everything else is fall decor I’ve reused from years past. Proof that you definitely don’t need to buy all new decorations every season to give your porch a fresh look! 🙌🏻

And can we talk about FAUX MUMS?! I bought these last year, and it may have been one of my best fall decorating decisions because I can pull them out year after year and they still look perfect. Which is especially helpful considering I somehow manage to kill the real mums every single fall. 💀🤣

I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’d say my colorful fall porch is off to a pretty good start! 🎃

Are you team REAL MUMS 🌼 or team FAUX MUMS because you can’t keep them alive either?! 😂

POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

5 Interior Design Styles for 2020

With each new season, we look to give our homes certain details that will transform it into what that season represents.

This leaves decorators and designers around the world the ability to show us the top trends in order to spice up our living spaces that you will be able to do a lot with when it comes to decorating for the different holidays or seasons.

Luxury interior designers make it easier to decorate as they create a space of beauty and ease. Say goodbye to ugly recliners, scratchy sheets, tough carpeting, and stuffy spaces in a luxury home.

Below are 5 interior design styles for 2020.

Texture

Some living rooms can look very uninviting. That’s why texture is so important. A texture that is set to make waves in 2020 is bouclé.

It started as a staple on the catwalk and is now becoming super popular in homes, particularly living rooms.

The looped yarns create a raised curled quality that gives a cozy feel. This technique, with the smart stitching detail, will bring pattern and life to decorative finishes on sofa arms, footstools and cushions alike.

Living Room Texture
I love to add texture in my living room with pillows and rugs as you can see here. You can check out all my rugs in my home here too as well.

Biophilia Design

Biophilia is trending! It incorporates human design and natural elements into your home design. A lot of people today want to have a stylish home and incorporate organic elements into it, and biophilia in the way to do it.

Materials like recycled wood can be used for chairs, tables, and floors while plants can create a green and organic atmosphere.

High tech, modern homes were surging, but 2020 will be all about the old rustic feel and creating an environmentally friendly space.

Bedrooms and bathrooms can also be transformed into awesome spaces by using rich earthy elements including metals, wood, and stone.

Biophilia Design Table
Our tabletop is made from reclaimed barn wood.

Eclectic Glamour

A move on from Retro Revival last year, this is 2020’s bold, confident and sassy alternative on an old trend.

Taking it up a notch, this style is a grown-up one that channels thirtie’s elegance. Shapely furniture with rounded curves and fluid shapes takes center stage within this elegant theme.

Think 1920s elegant occasional chairs that you often see in old television shows with the scalloped shell-like backs and soft edges, but more modern designs nowadays.

Farmhouse Office Space
I love the rounded back I have to my unique office chair.

Large Scale Art and Wall Murals

Another trend set to take center stage in 2020 are large scale art and wall murals. This is going to make its way into our homes via wallpaper, paint, decals or large scale prints.

Consider placing your large scale art as a backdrop to your bed or couch or even the length of a long hallway or walkway.

This is such a dynamic look that is so easy to make happen. If you want the look without the commitment, try one of the alternatives that aren’t permanent.

Geometric Design
I like to add fun, geometric patterns to my planters I have around the house.

Bolder Geometric Patterns

In modern decor and furniture, clean lines and geometrically appealing designs have been in for a while now.

With newer and bolder geometric patterns being introduced through clothing today, we believe that the trend will soon be a big part of the interior design in homes.

Another reason to believe that this trend will catch on is the versatility of geometric designs as they can be used in designing everything from furniture and lighting to wallpapers and pillow covers.

Whether it’s on your walls or part of an accent piece of furniture, it’s hard to ignore these geometric patterns right now.

    Biophilia was a whole new concept to me! But it’s totally me. I’ve never been so happy as I was when I put couple simple pine sprigs in a vase. So pretty, completely free and it brought a beautiful natural smell to my apartment for days. Same goes for picking flowers from the nearby forest rather than buying a bouquet. Simple, beautiful and colourful but fresh.

Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… Flower Lovin’ Friends! POV: YOU’RE READY FOR FALL… BUT YOUR SUMMER FLOWERS DIDN’T GET THE MEMO 😂

I’ve been working on my fall front porch this weekend, and I’m loving how it’s coming together so far! 

It’s still SO warm here in North Carolina, which means all of my summer flowers and plants are still going strong. So instead of my usual neutral fall porch decor, we’re going a little more colorful this year and I think it looks so pretty! 🍂🌸

I added a new pumpkin doormat for a little fall refresh, but everything else is fall decor I’ve reused from years past. Proof that you definitely don’t need to buy all new decorations every season to give your porch a fresh look! 🙌🏻

And can we talk about FAUX MUMS?! I bought these last year, and it may have been one of my best fall decorating decisions because I can pull them out year after year and they still look perfect. Which is especially helpful considering I somehow manage to kill the real mums every single fall. 💀🤣

I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’d say my colorful fall porch is off to a pretty good start! 🎃

Are you team REAL MUMS 🌼 or team FAUX MUMS because you can’t keep them alive either?! 😂

POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

Y’all know I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress Y’all know I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress lately, especially with all of my ongoing medical issues and still not having the answers or help I need. I thought picking up a paintbrush and trying a little creative hobby would be the perfect way to relax, clear my mind, and hopefully be a little therapeutic.

Then I saw these cute fall-themed paint by numbers kits and immediately thought, “Yep. This is right up my alley!” 😂 Something simple to keep my mind busy and get me into the cozy fall spirit.

Except… I forgot to factor in the tremors. 🤣

I started with what I thought was an easy one, fully convinced it was going to turn out adorable. Instead, my letters are all wonky, the paint definitely went outside the lines, AND I somehow dropped my paintbrush directly onto the canvas. 💀😂

But honestly? Despite the questionable artwork, it worked. It actually took my mind off everything for a little while, and I had so much fun doing it. Shaky hands and all. 🥹❤️

Maybe I’ll try another paint by numbers later this week and see if I can redeem myself. 😂🎨

Anyone else have a relaxing hobby that turns into a complete disaster but you keep doing it anyway? 😂👇🏻
