Hey there, Sweet Friends, happy day. I cannot believe that we are half way through August and almost to September. It’s really not Fall yet, but lots are getting ready for Fall. Today I am sharing Fall Decor Ideas.

Fall Decor Ideas!

Today on the blog is all about Fall Decor Ideas! Welcome to the Fall Home Tour Blog Hop. A BIG THANKS to my Sweet Friend, Andrea from Design Morsels for coordinating the Fall Home Tour Blog Hop. If you are stopping by from Birdz of a Feather, a big welcome to you. I just love all of the projects on her site.

I’m going to be sharing with you the Five Things that I use to add a touch of Fall Decor to my home.

When I think about Fall Decor Ideas I think about what reminds me of the Fall season!

When I think about Fall Decor Ideas I think about what makes me happy!

What does Fall remind you of? Leave me a comment, I’d love to hear.

Fall Decor!

There are FIVE things I use to add Fall to my home.

• Pillows
• Blankets
• Pumpkins
• Acorns, Leafs, Twigs
• Flowers

Pillows and Blankets for Fall Decorating!

I love pulling out my Fall Pillows at the end of September. Decorated Pillows and Blankets for each season are a very easy way to say hello to the new season. They are easy to stash away and use year after year. As the cool and crisp temperatures approach extra blankets are essential.

Pumpkins, Acorns, Leafs, Twigs and Flowers!

Y’all know, I love walking the pups and I also love picking up the acorns, leafs and twigs that fall to the ground. They are great scatter on your coffee table and even fun as filler for jars! Nothing says Fall more that the items that fall from the trees.

Flowers are a must in my home and if my budget is tight then picking flowers from the yard or using artificial flowers is a great option. I like to work with all three options year round.

Today, I’m joining my Sweet Blogger Friends on this Fall Home Tour. Don’t forget to visit all of the links to check out their Fall Home Tours. I’m certain you will be inspired.

Faux Pumpkin Makeover

As you may remember, the project was:

Faux Pumpkins + my favorite Rustoleum’s Painter’s Touch 2x Ultra Cover Satin Spray = Cute and Amazing Pumpkin’s!

Now it’s time to add a little extraordinary to these Cute and Amazing Pumpkins.

Iron Orchid Designs

Hello, Iron Orchid Designs!!!

Y’all know how much I am addicted to Iron Orchid Designs. I absolutely love using the Decor Transfers on my Furniture Makeovers and the Moulds on my Home Decor Projects and now I’m going to show you how you can use their stamps.

If you wanna get caught up on my other IOD projects you can read about those here and here or you can watch my videos on them here and here.

Note aside: Sharing is Caring! If you’re on my You Tube channel, please do share my videos with your friends.

For this project you will need:

• Faux Pumpkins – if you don’t have any on hand, check out the Dollar Store.
• Rustoleum’s Painter’s Touch 2x Ultra Cover Satin Spray, Satin Aqua.
• Iron Orchid Design Decor Stamp in Rose Toile
• Iron Orchid Design Ink in White
• Iron Orchid Design Stamp Pad
• Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint in Layered Chocolate
• Paint Brush

Here’s the quick and easy diy with photos included!

• Add ink to pad. I prefer to purchase a stamp pad for each color I’m using. A few drops of ink is all you need.
• Apply pad to stamp. Test stamp on paper first to ensure you have not applied to much ink to the stamp.
• Stamp pumpkins. Once you have placed the inked stamp on surface, hold with one hand and tickle stamp with the other hand. Do not shift.
• Paint stems with Brown Paint using Paint Brush.

All of the products can be purchased online at CreateWithCynthiaShop.com or at my “New” Antique Mall location in Redwood City, Antiques Then & Now, 1281 Veterans Boulevard, Redwood City, California. If you missed the announcement last week you can read about it here.

I hope you enjoyed the DIY. Now go out there and create something.

I thought it would be fun to do a little Faux Pumpkin Makeover!

Blue Pumpkins!

Today I’m going to show you how you can take some ordinary Faux Pumpkins and make them extraordinary!

note aside: the orange pumpkins against the white hydrangeas are really lovely…..but I’ve got Pumpkin Fever and me and orange aren’t getting along lately!

You probably didn’t know that my favorite color is blue.

Not just any blue, I prefer the light turquoise blue.

Yes, the color that is on my logo.

Faux Pumpkin Decorating Ideas!

And yes, I decided to paint some Pumpkins blue.

And that my Sweet Friends, is what you call Pumpkin Fever!

And boy did I get lucky when Rustoleum wanted to partner with me on a project. Immediately I knew the color I wanted to pick…Satin Aqua.

Rustoleum’s Painter’s Touch is a 2x Ultra Cover Satin Spray. The Satin Aqua, in my opinion, is a cross between a baby blue and a turquoise.

For these Faux Pumpkins and Gourds, I sprayed two coats of Rustoleum’s Painter’s Touch onto the Pumpkins and Gourds. I was able to get great coverage with two coats. Be sure to read the directions on the can before starting.

The pumpkins came out so pretty that I decided to admire them for a few days until…

Come back next week and I’ll show you what happened next.

Thanks Rustoleum for inspiring me to create Blue Pumpkins.

Make it a great day.

These pumpkins are all over the internet and it’s no wonder. Just search on Pinterest for DIY Fabric Pumpkins if you really desire a more thorough tutorial.

DIY Fabric Pumpkins!

These pumpkins, the “Create With Cynthia” pumpkins are so easy to make.

Year after year I make Fabric Pumpkins and each year they are a little different.

Remember, a few weeks ago when I told you all about the Pumpkin Scone and the Pumpkin Cold Cream Brew and my little secret?

If you missed the secret, you can read about it here.

DIY Fabric Pumpkins!

Ready for the diy….

Got Fabric?

Got Twig or old Pumpkin Stem or Twine?

Got a Glue Gun (scissors might be handy too)!

Got a little stuffing, batting, or a pumpkin you just want to cover up?

and……

drum roll please……

You’ve got Fabric Pumpkins! Fat and Cute and Super Easy Pumpkins.

I mean they are so easy and cute and you can make them big or small and it really doesn’t have to be difficult and hard.

Suggestion:

• “Don’t over think it!”
• Use a Hot Glue Gun, because you want the glue to dry quickly.
• If you don’t have a Glue Gun, just tie them together with Twine.

Now, go out their and create something beautiful.

But friends, I have a little secret…

Shhhh, don’t tell anyone….

No, it’s not about the chair makeover above.

It’s about……

Pumpkins!

Sweet Friends, I’M ADDICTED TO PUMPKINS!!!!

Decorating with Pumpkins!

Lately, I’ve been doing alot of pumpkin decorating.

Yes, I’m addicted to pumpkins and pumpkin decorating.

the fat ones,

the skinny ones,

the glittery ones,

the painted ones,

the fabric ones

and the gilded ones.

I walk in the grocery store and I head straight to the pumpkins.

Is it Pumpkin Fever? Troy asked.

Yesterday for the second day in a row, I stopped at Starbucks for a Pumpkin Scone and a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew….

(Note aside…that’s alot of calories and is not recommended.)

Yesterday, I went to the Dollar Store specifically to pick up bleach. As soon as I walked in the store, I forgot about the bleach and guess what happened??? I headed straight for the pumpkins!

Friends, are you addicted to pumpkins?

You know you’ve got a problem when…..

You ignore your Furniture Makeovers to go out and look for Pumpkins. I’ve had to put the Furniture Makeovers on hold! Oh my!

The Pumpkin addiction is real…

Is it Pumpkin Fever???

I know, I’m supposed to be addicted to Ice Cream and Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce, like in my videos, here and here, but…….

All I can think about is Pumpkins.

Note…there will be more posts about Pumpkins. 🙂

Make it a great day!

Cynthia

p.s. ssshhhhh, don’t tell about my pumpkin decorating addiction.

p.s.s. I wouldn’t want to upset my ice cream addiction fans!
