Affordable Fall Decorating Ideas #MyHarvestHome

I used the “S” word this week … Stupid.

I’d discipline my kids if they ever use that word, but I was directing this at myself, “KIM! Keep it simple stupid!

Yes, I know that isn’t any better, but after ripping apart and rearranging rooms because I wanted  “Fall Perfection”in my home, I realized I was being TOTALLY ridiculous. That, and the fact that my son’s playmate said, “Your house is trashed!”  Yikes! Ahhh, out of the mouth of babes.

Fall has arrived and bringing  harvest into home doesn’t have to be complicated. Most of the time a few inexpensive touches result in the prettiest appearance. And I need to remind myself that!

Our music room is the first room you see when entering the house and I gave it a mini fall makeover with a few affordable fall items from Kirklands.

Fall Decorating Ideas - Acorns in a nest #MyHarvestHome

These Decorative Acorns look just adorable nestled in a little nest next to the Copper Mercury Glass Lantern. My autumn color scheme is a combo of hot and cool, copper and blue.   So when I saw this gorgeous Antique Blue Fleur-de-Lis Vase  I knew in a second how pretty it would look with a few havesty bunches of  Cattail Mix Bouquet! I love all that chippy, antiqued goodness! I rested a copper pumpkin next to it. These copper pumpkins were so insanely popular (they come in a trio) that they are already sold out online, but hopefully the stores might still have some in stock!

The Copper Trend is hot this year, especially for fall. Click here to see where I’ve implemented the copper-look  in my home.

Fall Decorating with Copper and Blues #MyHarvestHome

My family’s 100+ year grand piano needed a bit of sprucing up too, so I filled Bronze Glass Canisters with decorative acorns, LED candles and faux autumn leaves with a bit a bittersweet berry garland draped about. It looks so pretty glowing at night!Kirklands Fall Decor #MyHarvestHome

We are still very mild here in coastal Virginia and the pampas grass is abundant. I had many pampas fronds left over from my Pampas Grass Fall Door Swag and grouped them together in a large glass vase filled with corks, along with my DIY Coastal Pumpkins. I think it creates a nice autumn beach reading nook.

Grouping together a few of my favorite reads with these Pine Cone Pedestal Bookends seems appropriate for fall. Isn’t that little mercury glass owl cute?Pine cone book ends and owl

Of course fall decorating wouldn’t be complete with a mum or two! I chose a coppery orange mum and planted it in a blue ceramic planter along with one of Kirkland’s precious little copper pumpkins. Mums and pumpkin

    I love so many things from Kirklands. I really love some of their cinema canvas prints. Thanks for the chance to win a great gift card.

  3. Thistle says

    I need to tell myself that all the time….just keep it simple. 🙂 I’ll remember that next time I’m on a six foot ladder hanging garland from the ceiling. 🙂

    Everything looks absolutely beautiful!

    Happy day to you rock star!

    I love everything about Kirklands! I’ve been eyeing their cute accent tables for a while now and thinking it’s time to finally get one! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  6. Tamara Bucher says

    I too am implementing copper and blue into my décor I love the color combo. Wish I could find some real pampas grass in AZ

  10. Sarah says

    Hi Kim! Thanks for hosting the contest. I like Kirkland’s Melrose Teal Pillow. I have the perfect spot for a few in my house! 🙂

  14. Hydrangeas and Harmony says

    I’m another mercury glass pumpkin fan. They’d be perfect for my fall mantel over our gray stone fireplace. Fun giveaway—thanks for hosting!

  16. Gee says

    Pretty Kim. Hahahaha… gald to know I am not the only one with the ban on the ‘s’ word. That is the theme with me as well this year… simple.. understated… beautiful.
    Hugs, Gee

  18. Lisa says

    I love everything from Kirklands and wish that I didn’t live over an hour away from the nearest store. I would say that my favorite item right now is the New Porch Rules sign. I have been eyeing similar ones and this one would be perfect for our porch overlooking the lake!

  25. CC says

    love the birch candleholders! No abundance of birch in my area and I think it adds so much dimension to a room.

  26. Tracey says

    I’m in love with the Sandy Blue Glass Table lamp! I also really love Kirklands jar candles. They have a great scent all the way to the bottom of the jar without being too strong…and a bonus…the jars clean up beautifully for additional use when the wax is all burned up!! =)

  28. Heather says

    So beautiful Kim! Love the vignette with your wicker chair, costal pumpkins and the grass! I want to sit right there and read a book…or have a glass of wine with you. 😉

  30. Colleen says

    I love SO many things and this is the first time I have ever heard of Kirklands! I will definitely be heading back to their website! I love the Bronze Deer Head Wall Plaque. It’s to die for! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

  33. Deb says

    Love the pre-lit Mercury glass pumpkins. They are beautiful and would look great in an autumn decoration

  35. Rachel Bradley Harrison says

    There are several area rugs and wall mirrors that I love! If I have to choose just one, I’d say the Campbell Beige & Blue Block Area Rug.

  37. Nikki says

    I am a HUGE fan of Kirkland’s! Currently, I’ve been spying the light blue rustic lamp … hopefully it will be mine very soon!

  47. jackie d says

    I’m really liking the lighthouse pillar candle holder…a perfect bit of the seashore….when your hundred of miles away from the ocean!

  52. Christina P. says

    I’m so very much in love with the Harrison Ivory 5-Drawer Study Desk! I am in the process of transforming our living room into a craft/sewing/playroom and would love to have this piece!! It’s beautiful!

  53. Carmen Skyles says

    I really love the comforter set Rusch, Vanilla for a queen bed. There are so many things I love in that store though so I would probably change my mind next time I go online to look! What a generous give away! Thank you for the opportunity!

  58. Charlotte says

    Ahhhh, there is so much to love. I’ve never been to a Kirklands as they do not have them in Southern California. I love your cattail bouquet mix and have the perfect vase for it, but when I went to the floral section, I actually fell in love with the Coastal Bouquet. The Natural rattan pumpkin is just adorable.

  60. June says

    I love Kirkland’s and am totally excited about it coming to Rockford IL. I have been watching the build with anticipation and can’t wait for it to open………………..I used to drive for 40 min. just to shop at the closest store in my area.

    Now I don’t follow pinterest or tweet, what a bummer I can’t enter the give away…………

  62. Sandy A says

    There is so much I love at Kirkland’s–but we would like new lighting for our living room,or a new area rug for our dining area..

  69. Deb says

    I love the Acanthus Orb Bowl and the canvas art (so many pretty pieces to choose from). Their variety is wonderful.

  71. Lily says

    This post cracked me up, I used the S word also (yes about my own self because I accidentally deleted something), while I was hanging up the phone during a conference call – I was so mortified that the folks on the line may have thought I was referring to them (if they heard at all) that I sent out an apology email to everyone.

    And yes, thank you for the inspirational home tour!!

  73. Jill says

    I love the metallic acorns and pumpkin & leaves bace filler and the crackle pumpkin 🙂 I so love fall & fall decorating!

  81. tammy says

    Kirklands just came to us a few months ago.. I love the store and have a list of things I want. When my son was about 4 I went to visit a friend who was down visiting with her parents. My son walks up to the mom and says ” your house is dirty and it stinks” all true, but I wanted to crawl under the couch, but couldn’t because there was to much trash under it.
