So what if it’s been 80 degrees this week and feels more like July than September? I’ve got all things fall on my mind and am dressing my house to represent that. Starting with our front door. I made this easy fall leaf wreath and even made my own DIY coffee stain for the wood sign. And this wreath will transition through all the fall events – read on to see how!

DIY Headboard Slipcover
Do you have a room in your house that is full of mismatched furniture? Our guest room has been a room of hand-me-down furniture. It’s all in great condition but between the wood tones on the floor, the dressers, and the headboard, it was too much variation for me! We have matching twin beds to the dressers so we don’t want to paint over them. And the floor isn’t going to change anytime soon, so updating the headboard was the next best thing! Here is how I made a DIY headboard slipcover.
DIY Ottoman
I love when the opportunity comes up to make something that I can’t find in stores. This is exactly what happened when I decided I wanted an ottoman for a reading nook in my office. I had an old chair that rocked and swiveled and didn’t look like a nursery chair. But it’s old, like 30+ years old, and that made it short. Any cute ottoman found at Target or Home Goods would have my knees higher than my chest and that just seemed a tad uncomfortable. I’ve always looked longingly at the different furniture legs at Home Depot and I knew just the project I’d use them for; my own DIY ottoman.
How to Make a Pillow Form
Have you ever needed a specific shaped pillow? Maybe you couldn’t find the right size at a craft store or maybe you could but the price was too high even with a coupon. Well this is the post for you! Not only is it easy, but it’s also very inexpensive to make a pillow form of any size. I made a lumbar pillow form for less than $5 – no coupons required. Read for the how-to!
Hair Barrette DIY
I don’t wear red. People who know my mother probably wouldn’t think we are related with that fact. She loves red. And consequently, always has something to wear for most holidays. I struggle at Christmas, Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July with what to wear. Well not anymore! This Fourth of July, I am ready. I already have lots of blue and white to wear so a gorgeous red hair barrette DIY was a great solution. It was super easy. And by sticking to one color, it will work for any occasion that involves red.
How to Create a Month Long Meal Plan
For as long as I can remember, I have always tried to meal plan on a weekly basis. I hate the feeling of realizing my plan for dinner is ruined by missing one crucial ingredient. And going to the grocery store multiple times a week is not a fun way to spend your time, even if it is a quick trip! I’ve attempted to meal plan a month at a time before and failed. But this time I got it right. So far, I’m nearly done with my second month and I will not go back! Here I’ll share how I did it.
