I wanted to play around with an inexpensive and easy autumn table setting that would also work for Thanksgiving as well. All of the elements can be found at a grocery store and cost for about  $25-$30. We started with a white pumpkin that was $3.99 and cut a hole in the top like we were going to carve it and then hallowed it out a little bit and put a metal can inside it to act as a vase.

This summer we were at a friend’s house and she had made some of these delicious protein bites. I fell in love with them. Hannah was kind enough to share the recipe and I’ve been making these with the girls about twice a week – hahaha!  They only take a few minutes to make and I love how much healthier it is to grab one of these instead of cookie when I am craving something sweet.

Although we have a lot of neutral fall decor throughout most of the house we have added some more traditional fall colors to some of the rooms starting with our den. We cut some branches from the maple trees in our yard and then added in some orange pillows and throws from HomeGoods to help add some color and then some warm cozy knit pillows that we got last year from Soft Surroundings.

We are excited to be a part of Kelly’s Eclectically Fall Home Tour again this year. Be sure to check out Kelly’s beautiful house over at Eclectically Vintage which is the first stop on the tour:

Unfortunately there have been no real pumpkins anywhere to be found around here so far this year, I even called some of the farms with no luck, so for now I just have some simple early fall decor in most of the rooms and then hopefully in another few weeks I will be able to start adding in lots of pumpkins and other fall details.
