Guest Post: Decorating for Fall
This year Raymond and I really wanted to decorate for the fall season. With me being in a new space, I was excited to have a mantle to decorate. My old apartment didn’t have a lot of structure. Thanks to Pinterest for inspiring some of the decor, and thanks to Jessica Barringer and Cheryl Luckett for inspiring me to try new things in the “decor” department.
And … a lot of this stuff came from Goodwill. ![]()
