Yummy Fall Decor




Fall is my very favorite time of year.  I don't put up a ton of decorations for any holiday but these are my favorites and I love that they get to be up from September until the end of November.  

I love these white pumpkins.  I would love to just leave them up all year long.

My mantle still needs some work.

Master



I did my master bedroom in white and yellow/gold.  The furniture is the typical Queen Anne dark cherry so I wanted to do something simple and non-busy.  I am still looking for the right fabric to use for my bedroom curtains.  I am thinking white or maybe a dark brown?  
I love this dark brown paint.  (Also in my son's nursery.)  I found this gold fabric to go with the bedroom colors and although I have struggled with making pleated treatments in the past, these actually turned out almost like what they looked like in my head.

Eli's room



I love the colors in Eli's room.  This brown is addicting and has made it on the walls of my master bath as well.  I also love these letters I found on eBay with the brown stitching around the edges. 

 
And of course we had to incorporate baseball into the room but I am happy with the vintage Babe Ruth print I found.  I also saw this idea of displaying non-traditional items in glass apothecary jars at Pottery Barn and thought it looked pretty cool with the baseballs.  (We just happened to have a few lying around.)



  I had so much fun making these curtains and they make me smile whenever I go into his room.  I just cut out circles in different shapes and fabrics that went with his bedding and then ironed them on in a funky pattern.  Someday I will go back and put some stitching around each one when I have some extra time.  Right. ....... He will most likely be 5 when that happens.

Kansas Bows





On a trip to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, I met the AD's wife.  (we are all about connections here.....especially when it involves the Jayhawks)  She wanted to get some hairbows like the ones I had made for my girls.  Here are a few of the ones I made to send to her.  Rock Chalk!
