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? 😂👇🏻

Easy Fall Centerpiece

It’s not too early to start planning for fall decor right?! I hope not, because I have already started! I just can’t help myself. I love fall decor so much and it is my favorite season- next to Christmas of course. So today I am going to share with you all this easy fall centerpiece idea.

I have mine placed on my coffee table in my living room, but you could easily do this for your dining room table or entryway table too. The possibilities are endless with this centerpiece!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Easy Fall Centerpiece
I love the color combo to this centerpiece! Also, if you like my rug below, it’s from Boutique Rugs and I shared more about it in my blog post on How to Choose the Right Rug for Your Home!

Materials Needed For Fall Centerpiece:

  • Wooden tray with slots in it (mine is an antique tray and it has six big slots in it, but any kind of tray like that will do)
  • Amber bottles/jars (enough to fill up each slot in your tray)
  • Faux florals (as many as you want to fill your tray. I only did 3 stems instead of all 6, but that’s totally up to you to decide!)
Antique Wooden Tray
Here is how I styled the tray before. I kept it simple for spring/summer with just a few faux terra cotta pots.

Where to Find Materials Needed For the Fall Centerpiece

You may be wondering where you can find all these materials that I have mentioned above. I got lucky and found this beautiful antique wooden tray from a local antique store here in our area.

I constantly leave it on our coffee table and just change out the decor inside from season to season so it was a really great buy for me since I can get so much use out of it.

Close up view of tray for centerpiece
Here you can see all six slots on the tray.

I got the assortment of amber bottles from the dollar spot last year and they were pretty cheap! Only $3 a piece if I remember correctly.

I’m not sure if they will be restocked this year or not, but if not you can always check out your local thrift stores for them. I actually found a few antique amber jars at a flea market down in Tennessee this year and they were all super cheap as well.

Just be sure to shop around your local thrift shops, flea markets, and antique malls to see what you can find!

Wooden Tray for Fall Centerpiece
Another view of the empty tray before I got started styling my easy fall centerpiece.

And the beautiful faux florals stems I found at Kirkland’s last year as well. I only got three stems instead of six total because I thought six would be too much in my tray and it would kinda be distracting when you were watching tv on the couch or something.

But if you found smaller florals/stems, you could definitely put them in all of your amber jars as well. It’s totally up to you and how you want to style it! I am just here to give you a little inspiration!

How to Style The Centerpiece

Now that you have all your materials together, you can arrange your centerpiece anyway you want. I had three taller amber jars and three shorter amber jars total.

So I alternated a tall one and then a short one in each slot to mix up the heights. Then, I placed the faux florals in each tall amber jar.

Materials Needed for Easy Fall Centerpiece
Here is everything you need to get started on your centerpiece.

I have one faux stem on one side of the tray and two stems on the other side.

I think the grouping of three stems is pleasing to the eye. If you’ve been around for any of my styling posts, then you know I always recommend to group things in threes or odd numbers.

I talked about this in my post on How to Style an Entryway Table as well.

Fall Centerpiece in Living Room
I just love how it turned out!

Conclusion

This was such a simple and easy way to style a fall centerpiece. I was instantly drawn to the amber bottles when I first saw them and I knew I wanted to do something special with them for fall decor.

I am so happy with how it turned out and I think it is just the perfect touch! What do you y’all think? Let me know below!

Easy Fall Centerpiece
Pin for later!

    What a creative idea. Definitely a centerpiece I haven’t seen before, which I love. I wish I could start decorating for autumn, but we’re looking into moving before November, so I don’t want to fish all my decor out of boxes, only to put them right back in again to pack up! I’ll live vicariously through your autumnal decor posts!

    This is a great idea! I will have to make a smaller version as my table is much more smaller, but I seriously can’t wait to bring out all my fall decor! x

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? 😂👇🏻

Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️ He Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️

Here’s the easiest hack for removing leftover candle wax from antique jars, mugs, and vintage vessels so you can reuse them! 🤍

I found this adorable antique candle from Antique Candle Co., and one of my favorite things about it is that once the candle is finished, you can repurpose the vintage vessel instead of throwing it away.

Here’s how I remove the leftover wax:

🕯️ Pour boiling water into the candle vessel
🕯️ Let it sit for several hours until the wax solidifies and floats to the top
🕯️ Scoop out the hardened wax (I save mine to use in my wax warmer!)
🕯️ Remove the leftover sticky wick with a little Goo Gone
🕯️ Wash the vessel thoroughly and you’re done!

Such an easy candle jar cleaning hack and the perfect way to upcycle antique jars, vintage candle vessels, and pretty containers into something you can actually use again! ♻️

Have you tried this candle wax removal hack before?!

Y’all, I am SO tired of this 😩💔 I woke up this mor Y’all, I am SO tired of this 😩💔 I woke up this morning not feeling great, but like I always do, I tried to push through it. I was sitting at my laptop doing a little work when suddenly my hands started shaking so badly that I couldn’t control what I was doing. My HR spiked up to 180 and I threw up as well. And honestly? I’m frustrated, scared, and completely exhausted from not knowing WHY this is happening.

I finally got my MRI results back on Friday, and fortunately (but also unfortunately), they didn’t find anything major. And I’ll admit it… I bawled. 😭

Of course I don’t want something seriously wrong with me. But at the same time, I desperately want a diagnosis. I want answers. After dealing with unexplained symptoms for so long, getting “normal” test results can almost feel like another dead end.

My neurologist had mentioned the possibility of Chiari malformation, so I honestly thought that might finally explain some of my symptoms. Now that the MRI didn’t show that, I feel like I’m back at square one.

Because this isn’t normal. 😩

What am I supposed to do for work when my hands are shaking like this?! I was working as a dental hygienist, and can you imagine trying to clean someone’s teeth while your hands are trembling uncontrollably? It’s terrifying to even think about.
My short-term disability still hasn’t been approved either, so I’m sitting here wondering what I’m supposed to do next while my health and career feel completely uncertain.

I have another appointment with my doctor on Friday, so I’m trying to remind myself that this is just another step in the process. But it feels like it’s been nothing but waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… and still no answers.

This has truly been the hardest season of my life.

I’m trying so hard to trust God through all of this, even when I don’t understand what He’s doing. 🙏🏻 It’s just really hard when you don’t know what your future, your health, or even your career is going to look like.

So if you’ve been following along through this health journey, please keep praying that I finally get some answers. 🤍

When I spotted these plain little white ceramic gh When I spotted these plain little white ceramic ghosts at the Target Dollar Spot, I knew they had SO much potential! Instead of leaving them plain, I gave them a quick makeover and turned them into the cutest antiqued gold Halloween decor that looks way more expensive than it actually is! 🙌

Here’s how I did it:

👻 First, I sprayed the ceramic ghosts with black spray paint.
✨ Then I lightly layered metallic gold spray paint over the top. I didn’t want them super shiny—I was going for that aged, antique gold pottery look.
🖤 Finally, I used a little black acrylic paint to make their eyes stand out more.

And that’s it! Such an easy DIY Halloween decor makeover, and I think they turned out ADORABLE! 🥹

I love finding inexpensive Target Dollar Spot finds and giving them a high-end look with a little DIY magic.

Would you believe these started as plain white ghosts from Target?! 👻
