Happy fall, y'all! I hope you had a super week!
We had our first cold week here in Wisconsin. It's cold here…

Mix your textures. Put soft with hard, bumpy with smooth, round with square…OK, that's not a texture, but you get my drift.
Get creative. Use what you already have on hand. Go outside and see what free stuff you can use to beautify your home.
Then put it all together using different colors, textures, and shapes.
Look at it from all angles. Move it around, mix and match until you see what you like.
Notice I didn't say "until you match the criteria of what makes a good display according to that Martha lady."
The key is "what you like." You are who you need to make happy.
My DH thinks I'm silly for putting so much work into my decor. But oh well. It makes me happy.
'Nuf said.
Catch 'ya tomorrow!
