I’m so excited to write about all my fall decorating ideas on a budget, yet it feels funny writing this post while I sit in my living room in a tank top and shorts – but that’s September in the South I suppose! Leave it to a relocating Yankee to state something obvious like that. On the other hand, in the design world, it feels like i’m writing this article late – because like fashion, design is always a season ahead! In my home, I have only just begun my fall decorating – primarily in the kitchen and entryway, but ooohh boy do I have a lot more to do. This is my first house, so watch out world, walking into my house will be like walking into a Pumpkin Spice latte…you get the picture. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite fall decorating ideas on a budget! Some of these ideas are my own, and some are inspired by other amazing individuals. Happy decorating friends!

However, I wanted to create a space that felt intimate, and cozy, while being bold and eclectic. I have been loving green for a while now, and once I found the perfect paint color for the space, it was easy as pie to pull together the rest, As you all know, my makeovers are all budget makeovers, meaning I try to make the most impact with the smallest budget. I have many items I still want to add to this dining room; top of my list is replacing the carpet with wood flooring, changing the doorknob to a vintage crystal knob, and find a sunburst mirror for the back wall.

Before I dive into my kitchen makeover, let me first show you what it was up until about 2 weeks ago! 50 shades of beige; featuring […]
