Fall Decorating Favorites

I love fall. In every way. The cool crisp air, the crunchy leaves, the sweet smell in the air and evenings around the fire pit with a cup of hot apple cider. 

I’m ready to bring on everything pumpkin and spiced! And I always start getting my thoughts together in August on how I’m going to be decorating this year. Last Fall was our first fall in the farmhouse. I picked up a few things for here and there, but was just easing into the decorating of this new farmhouse. This year, I’m ready to go all out and snag a few new things, along with using what I already have and bring in lots of natural goodness from out on the farm! 

The other day I stopped into Hobby Lobby and I snapped a few pictures of some of my favorites to share with you! 

First of all, we need to keep warm this fall while we’re doing this decorating, so we may as well pick up a scarf for ourselves. How cute are these blanket scarves? I mean, a pair of jeans, white plain t-shirt and a scarf. I love how easy it is to pair outfits together in the fal but still be comfy. 




And for $13.99 with another 40% off- yup! I’ll take one for each day of the week. 




And, speaking of keeping warm- there’s nothing better than an evening wrapped up in a blanket sitting on the front porch in the rockers overlooking the farm. Fill a basket full of these inexpensive blankets and set them near your fire pit so your guests can keep warm while roasting marshmallows.. Or, drape one over each rocker on your porch and place a basket full of pumpkins and bittersweet vine next to it for a pop of fall. 



Need a table covering for a fall get together? Drape it over the center of a table. 


These babies are just $15.99 with an extra 40% off. Keeping you warm for just a little over $9 each! 



Next on the list - all things black & white gingham make such a statement! I love this look- but I love my oranges & reds for fall too. You can bring them all together with softer oranges and reds. I’m loving this rug. I imagine it at my front door with this beautiful wreath above it on the front door. 


And then I remember I have children, two dogs, pigs and orange mud on this farm. So, we’ll keep dreaming up a new look for Rockfish Farm. If you snag this look, send me pictures so I can swoon over your stoop because I’m loving this pair! 

Let’s talk black & whites for inside the home! There’s a whole section in the Fall spot in Hobby Lobby full of black & whites! I’m loving it all. My farmhouse is a bit more “traditional” so I plan on bringing in bits and pieces of this for my fireplace mantle. 



I’m loving this long tray! They have a small bag of mini pumpkins with a mixture of the black & white gingham and white pumpkins. I’m thinking of filling one of these trays with those for on my mantle and bringing in some softer oranges with this “Gather” sign. I may just snag one of those bigger trays for my outdoor table too for some fall plants! 



With simple, easy colors, this sign can fit into any style decor. I like to switch up some of the wall decor in my home. It’s a great way to bring in all things fall, but not get overloaded with extra “stuff” everywhere. Little touches, and easy change outs can make your home seem like fall exploded without being overly “fake leaf vine loaded”. 



Make a few things in your home sparkle fall. There’s nothing cozier than a slight glow in your home in the evenings. I like to take these glimmer strings and pop them in a few places as I’m decorating. Usually my mantle in the living room and my centerpiece on the dining room table. For $7.99 with 40% off. You can make a few old decorations you have laying around sparkle. And, the candles that are on timers at hobby lobby always help to set a fall evening mood in your home without you having to remember! 


This year, leave those fake orange leaves at the store. Go for more natural or “dried” looking items. This wreath had a pretty big price tag on it, but it was huge, and is such a statement, it’d be worth it. Plus it will last several years. And that bunch to the right? I’m loving it! Not near as expensive as the wreath! 


This year, leave the fake orange leaf garland at the store. Head out into your yard and clip real fall leaves and pine cones and get creative! Best part? It’s free. See what you can bring in...before you buy. 







Farmhouse Front Porch Makeover

There's nothing like ending the day wrapped in a blanket, with a glass of wine overlooking the farm. This spot was definitely craving so...
