The paint dried so quickly and so smoothly and really made this a true “nap time project”.. After that I grabbed some painter’s tape and taped off some wide stripes.
What could be faster or easier than that?In the dining room, I just used some more baby pumpkins and some fake fall botanicals out of my bins in the basement, and suddenly the whole room was seasonally-appropriate!.
I’m pretty sure this whole room was fixed up on one 5-minute decorating break on one day.. See the way these catch the light and actually look better with sun shining through them?That’s how you know they’re the good ones!The really cheap ones always seem to look terrible if you look at them up close.
I like to grab a few branches of these good fake branches at the end of the season when they’re 90% off at the craft stores and just stick them in my basement bins for the next year.They’re really almost free at that point and they’re so easy to have on hand for a quick spruce-up!.
So that’s it for the fall stuff around here this year!
It was quick and fun and my house didn’t become a giant mess like it often can when you get going with the whole seasonal decorating process.. Do you have any quick fall decor tricks that help you transition your home into the new season?.If you have a nice big dedicated shop space with a sink in it (I don’t, but wouldn’t that be awesome?
), then you can set up a dedicated brush cleaning station.All you need is a piece of wood, maybe screwed down onto a workbench and a metal bristled brush.
After cleaning your paintbrush, lay it down on the wood and brush it out with the metal brush really good a few times to keep your brushes like new for years and years.Now wouldn’t that be a nice follow-up to the paintbrush hair salon we had going on earlier?.
