It's Apple Season!

Apple Cider, Apple Crisp, Apple Pie oh my! I love the fall season for decorating and baking. Two of my favorite things. Wait I forgot caramel apples and apple Betty but I digress.

So let's get started by decorating with apples. Using real or fake apples is a cheap and easy way to get started. Fill up a basket and turn it on it's side with the apples scattered or as shown here.

Hay bales are great for fall displays. Here is a tip (Keep them wrapped in their packaging). You can use them year after year and they won't make a mess. Plus my pets would try and eat any pieces that fell on the ground. Take our apple cider mug and apple heart boxes along with our hot apple cider sign. This will go well together.

These key pieces are an affordable way to add some charm.

What a fun display for a Halloween party or gathering this Fall. You could bob for apples, have an apple dessert bar with cut up apples, chocolate sauce, chopped peanuts, chocolate chips etc. Have popcorn balls and candy corn, and don't forget the baked goods I mentioned. (wink wink!)
 Stack hay bales outside and set up a photo prop with our gingham country rag garland.


The table setting could have red bandannas tied together to make a runner. Simply tie each end together to fit the length of your table. An apple could be at each place setting.

I hope you found some new and creative ideas for your Fall decor. Be sure to visit my shop to see all of my rustic, handmade home decor.

Styling Tiered Trays

    Styling a tiered tray can be a daunting task. How do you even  start? I am going to show you how to make it happen.  First: Theme pick your holiday, season or subject Second: Gather shop your home, go to the Target dollar spot, thrift shops etc. Third: Repetition  I like to buy in three’s and two’s  keeping the same piece on each level brings continuity  Fourth: Scale Larger items at the bottom, smaller at the top This is pleasing to the eyes! Fifth: Be Creative  There are no limits to what you can achieve! Use your imagination and it will naturally flow! I hope this helps you have fun decorating your trays!

Getting Healthy

Well it happened! I'm on a diet. I have got to be healthier. My mood has been grouchy, feeling unmotivated, eating my troubles away. You come to a point where you got to change something! I have to go all or nothing, but I will not deprive myself.  So I started with looking up healthy, low carb meals and smoothies on Pinterest. I started 2 boards    pinterest.com/dinamichele08    I will be adding more to these boards regularly. I don't want this to be too hard and not achievable. It also has to be inexpensive. So I thought let me try what I have on hand in the house that is healthy. I had a box of Carnation instant breakfast and saw a smoothie recipe on the back. So that's where it begins. Smoothies for lunch or my lunch prequel. Something to fill me up so I don't over eat at lunch. Breakfast will consist of a low carb or no carb choice. I had eggs, so lunch is a scrambled egg with a slice of cheese melted plus a cup of coffee. Dinner option was chicken b...

WINTER FARMHOUSE KITCHEN DECOR

Christmas has come and gone. Now is the time to change up the decor. I thought I would start with my recent purchases from Hobby Lobby. I changed the theme from Christmas Lodge to a baking theme. I brought in my large farmhouse sign over the window to start.  I hung a rolling pin, cutting board and old sifter on my handmade wall rack. Behind it lays a rag garland. Added some green branches with pine cones in the mason jars. Above that is my fresh baked cookies sign. My rustic ladder at the end of the wall with some baskets and such. I finally got a tiered tray that has a s’mores theme to it. Jars filled with chocolate chips, Golden Grahams and mini marshmallows. Two garland wreaths and handmade marshmallows on sticks. A tablecloth and ruffled runner to complete this look. This should get me through the winter season until I add some Valentine’s Day decor in February.   Please visit my Instagram page for more inspiration     instagram.com/dinamichel...
