My Fall Mantel
Today I got a little side tracked from the closet to focus on the fall mantel!! I put a lot of it out last week or the week after, but hadn't finished the mantel!! I plan on putting out the Halloween stuff shortly as well, probably next weekend in October!! Today I did make 2 things to add to the fall decor around here.
The finished product is a super cute, plain wreath that works for fall and Halloween. I placed it inside a larger wreath!
First I made a wreath. I used this bunch of chinese lanterns I bought today. I just cut them off and glued them onto a grapevine wreath.

The second thing I did today was update a pillow. I took the pillow that was sitting in the chair, and added some orange stripes.
I used duct tape and measured them out. And then painted with normal craft paint!
The cutest!!
With these two projects completed today, the living room really feels like fall. Here's the rest of the room and mantel.
I added 3 fake leaves in the frame and made a burlap banner with vinyl stickers.
Happy Fall!!

A Few More Odds and Ends
Hey everyone! I thought I would update you on a few odds and ends!
First: The closet is coming along nicely. Slowly but nicely. I don't have enough time in the morning. But the shelf is installed and there is nothing on the dresser. It looks so much better already!
Second: The art I made for my sister with the glasses was featured on Someday Crafts, Here!
You should go check out Michelle's blog and join her link party!
Third: I have made my own button, on the sidebar for anyone who wants it!! Isn't it pretty?! Plain, but pretty.
Fourth: If I started a blog party would anyone link up their projects?!!
And finally the Fifth point of interest: The Borrowed Abode was kind enough to feature the home we rent! She asked if it was ok, and sent me a few questions to answer too! You can go check out the amazing feature here! Thank you so much Jane!! (And you should go check out her blog too! She also rents a home, and her blog features rental-friendly decor and DIY inspiration for everyone!!)

Emergency Closet Room Organization
Hello friends! We are friends right?! And friends don't judge or decide not to be friends even if they see something embarrassing, right?! I am about to show you something very embarrassing! You see, our house has one closet. One small, tiny closet. If anyone knows me, they know that just wouldn't work out for me.hahah. We live in a 3 bedroom house, and we have a bedroom, and an office. The other room didn't even have an outlet so we didn't know what to use it for. So, we have a closet "room". It is nice and has lots of space, but that can lead to one big messy room. (If you know me, you also know I can be a little messy sometimes. Even though I am a daughter of neat freaks!) I went into the closet the other day and it was the worst I have ever seen it in my life. The entire house is not messy like this. This room seems to get the worst!! I do want an organized room and I even bought these to try and help
(scarf hanger and pant hangers) I just hadn't used them yet.
Ok, so are you ready?! ahhhhh....again, don't judge.
BAM!
This is behind the door
The broken cloth roman shade.
Mike's side is pretty good. I must admit Mike is a little more neat then me, but his side can get just as bad!!
So, you think that is bad right?! Well it is! I cleaned up all the clothes and guess what was hiding under all the clothes on the dresser?!
booksbooksbooks! And magazines!
So, that is why I have called this "Emergency Closet Room Organization" I have already bought and stained a shelf, I have hooks waiting to be hung and am ready to get rid of some stuff in there!!! I am going to make a new jewellry station, new curtains and find a place for everything. Also am going to go through my clothes and get rid of the ones I don't wear!! I am working on it little by little before I go to work each day, so hopefully I will have something beautiful to show you on the weekend. Something nice and organized!!
Wish me luck, I am definitely going to need it!
p.s- sorry mom and gramma. I hope you still love me! hahahahhaha
