Fall shopping.

I have been in a fall mood lately. The weather here hasnt changed a bit, still in the mid to high 70's and the trees are all still green but in just a few weeks we're going to hit TRUE fall. One thing I love about Colorado, well, there are many things but ONE of those is that Colorado is one of only a handful of states that gets all four seasons. Granted they all occur within a single day but still, we get them all, and of all the seasons fall is my favorite. If I ever had a wedding, it would be in the fall. I have always said that, and with my absolute love of this season I have decided that I need to fully embrace it within my own home instead of just outside, so, I have been shopping around and trying to find the perfect pieces for my new home and I thought it might be nice to share my favorite spots and "finds" within those spots so that you, too, can embrace this amazing season...

1. Michaels : Run! Dont walk, to your local Michaels store. I am telling you I have gotten at least 80% of my fall decor here. I love their floral and their craft pumpkins, plus, right now most of the fall items are 40-60% off!

 I picked up several of these pumpkins in various sizes

2. Tuesday Morning: I didnt find much that I personally was looking for here but they sure do have alot of great fall items. I found some great kitchen towels and a cute pillow for my home.


3. Target: Great stuff! If you've never shopped the dollar spot you are surely missing out! They had some great burlap banners and mini pumpkins as well as mini pillows [too small for my taste but to each his own].

I might have to pickup a few of these cute pumpkins!

4. Hobby Lobby: I love Hobby Lobby, I actually work right next door to a Hobby Lobby and it takes major self control to not go in during my lunch break everyday! They do have some really adorable pumpkins and garlands but my best find was some great fabric to make some pillows from!

These are always my go to stores for home decor and they never let me down. I havent gotten over to Home Goods or Joanns yet but I heard they have some amazing stuff too. Moving cant some soon enough, I cant wait to get all my new decor up !

New house plans.

I am so excited to move. Its really bittersweet because I really did love the style and layout of this apartment but I can't tell you how excited I am to have a HOUSE! Its going to be so much work but I cant wait to transform it. The owner of the house is giving me pretty much full rein to do as i please but I don't want to pour money into a home that isn't mine so I definitely want to do as much as i can for as little as i can. I want to try to reuse as much of my own furniture and decor pieces as possible and just remix them to fit into this space. I'm not sure whats going to stay and whats going to be sold or whats going to simply be put in storage but the way I've planned it in my head, pretty much everything will be staying. Of course, I will have to shop for a lot more pieces seeing as we are going from a one bed one bath to a three bed three bath but hey, I'm not complaining about having to shop! The only thing I'm struggling with is the guest room, but this is what I've got so far for the rest of the house.....
