Get into the Spirit of Fall!

Autumn is just around the corner now, and what better way to get ready for the seasonal shift than with a few house decorations to celebrate. It’s easy to think we need to go straight to the craft store to infuse our homes with the Fall spirit, but before you do…take a peek around the property first-you might be surprised at what you find to use!

Check out these beautiful and creative ideas to help bring in the new season…

Dust off that old lantern from the barn

This old-time lantern centerpiece from The Frugal Homemaker creates a warm and glowing atmosphere for guest gatherings and family dinners throughout the months. Warm the kitchen, dining room or even your hallway with a piece of history.

Hang onto old vases and popcorn kernels

It’s so rewarding and fun to make good use out of things around the house(…which can make you feel a bit guilty for letting go too long…) Give the living room or bathroom some added spirit this Fall with those old candles and vases–just sitting around collecting dust. What a great idea from Passionate Penny Pincher!

 Paint a few acorns from the yard

Nothing says Autumn is here like a few acorns scattered neatly on a shelf or displayed nicely in a glass jar. Get your afternoon exercise by picking up a few of these beauties from the yard. Go ahead and get the kids involved with this crafty project, they’ll love it! And, if you do craft work from time to time, you’ll probably have all the paint and coating you’ll need. Use copper, silver or gold! Thanks, Housely!

Try the old wagon wheel look near your front door

A few pumpkins, leaves, and lights will make stepping into your home welcoming, exciting and intriguing. Flowers aren’t the only things that can accentuate an old wheel. Take your time positioning your own fixtures around this old timer, and make it your own! A classic idea from Homebnc.

Light up a basket of pine cones (…with lights that is)

A pleasing Fall reminder from Pinterest. All you’ll need is a few pinecones, an old basket, and some lights. Prop up this pretty little image with an added country look-with some old books!

And of course, as we like to say, open a bottle of Rosella’s fine wine and make a time of it!

Go ahead, call over family and friends for a bit of Fall decorating fun, and unwind with some fantastic selections off our wine’s tasting notes list. And, if you’re looking to impress the crowd with a bit of Mulled Apple Cider (by The Pioneer Woman,) check out this fantastic recipe which goes great with a dolop…or two…ok three of Rosella’s Red Wine Blend!
