Took down the Christmas decorations last week and finally got around to transforming the living room into a new seasonal look. I was going for more of a winter look, but this is as close as I got.

A couple changes for this new look:

• Sewed new pillow cases. Stuck with a white, gray, and blue theme. Money spent: $0
• Hung new wall art above the mantel. Russ and I found the stick during one of our walks. Then I bought a ton of oranges that were on sale for 19 cents/pound. Dried the oranges and strung them together because oranges are a winter fruit, right? Money spent: $1.05 for the oranges

It's the little changes that make me happy. Happy winter, everyone!

P.S. I swear I don't pose my dogs for these shots.

A Few Autumn Things

Before autumn ends, I wanted to quickly put this on the blog before I switch out my fall decorations.

I'm not big on large seasonal decorations but still love decorating our space to coordinate with the seasons. Below are a few pictures of subtle autumnal decor I have lying around. It's not much, but it was enough to change up our home for this season.

Autumn Candle

I light my autumn candle almost everyday and it makes our home smell nice :) The green dish is from a friend in Reno who mailed it to us as a housewarming gift. And here's a little pumpkin as an accent.

Blanket is from Russell's grandma who crocheted this for our wedding present. This throw blanket has enough fall colors on it, so I switched out my white throw blanket I normally have on our couch. I love cozy personal things. I try to take a minimalist approach when it comes to buying items and it leads to lots of creative solutions when it comes to decorating. 

Another little pumpkin chilling on our coat rack.

Giant pumpkin chilling on our fireplace. 

Not sure if a yellow pot with a little piece of twine wrapped around it counts, but it still brings me a teeny amount of happiness when I see it on my dining table.
