DIY Fall Festival Time!

It’s been another crazy week with me still having a heavy work load and the Roomspiration linky parties and voting and Mr. DIY’s birthday and even though the chilly weather won’t let me forget it’s Fall already, I did have a chance to add a touch of fall to our living room (see the before and after pictures I shared earlier this week here).  

This week I decorated the mantel for Fall. Our mantel is a bit of a challenge with the tv being there and the need to disguise wiring but I like how it turned out this year. 

 Candle light and warm colors = coziness.

What do you think?  Busy? Yes!  Just the way I like it! 😉 

Do you decorate for fall?

I entered the contest..my submission:

She says: Are you sure? I know you work so many hours at your job and you’re tired when you get home.

She means: Please, let me pay someone to do this so it doesn’t turn into a home improvement mini series that lasts an entire season.

DIY Fall Festival

It’s been a crazy week and even though I haven’t had a chance to even think about Fall yet (other than throwing on a sweater), I think I’ve finally decided that Fridays would be a great day for the DIY Show Off Fall Festival this year and then the regularly scheduled DIY Project Parade on Sundays/Mondays. 
And since I’ve been working hard at a few non-autumn related projects and had an extra work load at my real job, I haven’t had time to think about Fall yet however here are a few of my past Fall projects to get things started. I know. I’m cheating. I mean these are my DIY Fall projects but Fall 2011 hasn’t arrived in this house this week.  It was cheat a little or cancel and I’m no party pooper!  

dress up a candle…
decoupage letters and a pumpkin…
glow in the dark pumpkin house #s 
Burlap leaves

ghost tree and faux mercury glass pumpkins…
Can’t wait to get started on Fall now that I’ve met some of my deadlines.  Link up! Inspire me!
