These fall projects bring together free pallet wood, thrifted pieces, pumpkins, jars, and painted pots. Some pieces stayed in place through several seasons; others changed with a coat of paint or new decorations.
Painted and stenciled pallet displays
The Family Gathers Here pallet project went into our outdoor living area. Free wood gave me a reason to keep trying painted and stenciled versions in other spots, too.
Carry kitchen artwork into fall
The stenciled kitchen artwork I made during summer worked for fall when paired with a glass jar holding a pumpkin and seeds. Small groupings let me keep existing pieces while changing the seasonal details.
A Goodwill tray and a recipe-page pumpkin
The transformed silver-colored Goodwill tray became part of a fall arrangement. The vintage-recipe pumpkin was a favorite Mod Podge project, and I kept it out until Christmas.
Candy corn in Mason jars
Mason jars gave the candy corn a place in the kitchen display. The Mason-jar kitchen arrangement shows more of that seasonal corner.
A small tabletop wood display
The tabletop wood box came from Michaels for a few dollars and received a quick fall makeover.
Painted terracotta pots and mums
The terracotta pot got a fresh painted finish for fall. The mums eventually opened into pink blooms.
Natural details and woodland decorations also found their way into the outdoor arrangements.
Wreaths with leaves, twigs, and small decorations
The wreaths included natural materials from our woods with small fall creatures and twigs added. The kitchen fall wreath shows one of these arrangements.
Fall on the table, porch, and entry
The trees around our home supplied plenty of fall color, as well as plenty of fallen leaves. I brought my favorite seasonal colors into the table setting, porch decorating, and entry arrangement.
A thrifted chair with more changes ahead
The thrift-store chair got a fall finish, then changed again later. The green-and-blue chair makeover records another stage of its life.
