My nest needs sprucing

Yes­ter­day I got my Fall box down and real­ized with hor­ror that I was so frus­trated with my deco from last year that I had thrown almost all of it away. Bad Jenny, bad Jenny!

As a part of Melissa’s Fall Nest­ing party, she is giv­ing away a $200 gift card to Home­Goods (TJMaxx) in case you need a lit­tle help in a room. Here’s the area of my liv­ing room that needs some help:

Don’t pay no mind to that hor­ri­ble job of mir­ror clean­ing.  J just doesn’t have that knack and I have to give it time before I fix it because “No, honey. You did a great job!” Hee! I love my ‘Give Thanks’ plaque and can­dles but it’s still too stark for me.

The plain lamp shade is dri­ving me crazy! and I need some mate­r­ial or some­thing down there, don’tcha think??

Since I’ve got a great oppor­tu­nity for new Fall deco (ahem!) then I’ve been check­ing out some great ideas:

~You can sign up for free hol­i­day and Cel­e­bra­tions e-newsletter through Bet­ter Homes and Gar­den for the next 100 days.  You can decide which hol­i­days you’d like most info/ideas on, etc.  Hello, it’s BHG…good stuff!

~Fru­gal ideas for Autumn décor ideas are pretty good at Budget101

~Another BHG place for great Autumn Dec­o­rat­ing ideas. (I swear I’m not a BHG fruit­loop, but they do have some great ideas.

Now I need to see what else I can find and then on to some Fall recipes.…

    I did that with my Christ­mas deco a few years ago, got rid of stuff and then when Christ­mas came around again I was like, “oh, crap”. But I’m slowly rebuilding.

    Your “Give Thanks” sign is pre­cious! I’m sure you could find lots of cute things to com­pli­ment what you already have.

  2. Beau­ti­ful flo­ral arrangement!

    You’re so diplo­matic about the mirror!

    I also love the flower arrange­ment. Have you thought about paint­ing the lamp­shade or doing some sort of faux finishing?

    Actu­ally, I’ve never really thought about doing some­thing to the shade itself. Great idea…thanks, Angela! –Jen
