Whether you're getting your home ready for an autumn open house or you have guests coming for Thanksgiving, fall is a fabulous time to upgrade and decorate the look of your home.

Simple Decorating for Fall

The seasons are changing and the desire to nest for the winter is beginning to set in. It's time to change out the bright cheerful colors of summer for some warm inviting colors of fall. It doesn't take a lot of effort or money, just few tiny tweaks, here and there. A good place to start is your entry. A few pumpkins, some corn stalk and greenery in a corner and on the front porch. A fall wreath on the door and a old wooden chair or even a basket full of pine cones. Give your kitchen a mini makeover. If you have a center island, switch out your seating for a more rustic fall feel. Dark wicker stools with wood legs can make a big impact. Don't want to go to that extent? Try some simple counter-top decor accents, floral arrangements featuring luscious fall colors, small pumpkins and warm fall colored towels. Hanging Pot Racks make a great place to hang fall floral and leaf garland. And don't forget the scented candles! Who can resist the smell of pumpkin spice or cinnamon apple.

Painting Tricks That Will Make Your Home Look Amazing When it comes to painting the walls of a house, sometimes subtle is best. You want to add design, color, and texture to the walls, but you don't want it jarring to the eyes. Here are a couple of subtle painting techniques you can try on your home walls.

Tissue Paper Texture One easy way to add texture to walls is to use tissue paper. You apply the tissue paper to the walls and it stays there until you want something new. Crumple up a piece of tissue paper into a tight ball and then open it up and smooth it out. Small textured lines will appear on the paper. Those lines will remain when you use the paper on the walls. Use the colored wall paint as glue to adhere the tissue paper to the wall. Paint an area of the wall that's a little bit bigger than the piece of tissue paper. Press the paper to the painted area and smooth it out so all the edges stick to the wall. Paint over the tissue paper. Repeat the process until the entire wall is covered.

Sponge Color-on-Color Technique Natural sponges create a unique look on painted walls. If you use two versions of the same color, satin and semi-gloss, then it creates a subtle look that isn't shocking to the eyes. The color is the same but the shine is different Paint your wall with the satin color paint. Let it dry completely. Dip the top of the natural sponge in the semi-gloss paint. Dab the sponge to the wall over and over. It's OK to overlap the paint in areas and you aren't going to completely cover the wall. Once dry, the satin paint will show from beneath the semi-gloss paint creating a neat shine effect. These simple and subtle paint techniques will make your walls beautiful. This is especially useful if you plan to sell your home and want to increase its value.
