Oh there's no place like home for the holidays,

'Cause no matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays,
You can't beat home, sweet home.
For the holidays,
You can't beat home, sweet home....

~Perry Como

Are you singing yet?  I love that song because there is nothing better than a cozy home, all decorated for the holidays...a warm fire, twinkling Christmas lights, cozy pillows, glistening candles and warm blankets just waiting to be snuggled up with!  Just add family and friends and you have the perfect scene for lots of new memories to be made!

This month, I had the pleasure of "cozying" up my sister's gorgeous living room!  It was perfect to begin with, but I just brought in a few things to get it ready for the holidays.

First up, I added these beautiful gold, metal and glass tables from the Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart.  I circular shape is perfect in here with her sectional and leaves plenty of room to move around.  I predict lots of family game nights around that table!

The side table is the perfect size for the corner of the room.  I love how the metallic finish compliments her neutral furniture.  Both of these tables are so reasonable priced and such great quality.

I kept the decor festive yet simple.  I am obsessed with this wood and mirror tray.  It is perfect for the holidays but great year around as well.  I love a decor piece that can be used just about anywhere and this tray is definitely one of those items.

A few bottle brush trees, a large Better Homes & Gardens candle, a book and some pom garland created a super simple but pretty centerpiece.  I love how the candlelight reflects off the glass!  It will look so pretty in the evenings.

Continuing with the simple, but festive theme, I used a few whimsical items to add some holiday cheer to the side table.  This cute gold lantern from the Better Homes & Gardens line is another versatile piece that can be used in so many ways.  I added a small bottle brush tree and deer ornament to it for a cheerful vignette.  Small touches make a big impact!

These gold lanterns come in three sizes and are so fun to use in creative ways.

Now for the really cozy touches...blankets and pillows. I adore this blanket so much.  The pattern is subtle yet pretty and it is so soft.  The opposite side is sherpa so this is definitely a great blanket to snuggle with!

And for the easiest and most inexpensive way to get a new look, swap your pillows out!  These cozy, plush textiles bring in all the winter vibes.  I love mixing the fabrics for a super snugly look!

Isn't this perfect spot for a cup of coffee and a good book...

The Better Homes and Gardens line of pillows at Walmart are not only beautiful, but they are so affordable.  They also have options for every style!

To add more cozy comfort to this space, I added corduroy floor cushions.  These are great for game night, movie night or just when you need to utilize the floor for seating.  I have these in my own home and use them frequently.  They make the space look more inviting!

I also put together another super simple table centerpiece using this versatile wood bowl from the Better Homes and Gardens line at Walmart.  I just simply filled it with ornaments.  So simple and looks so pretty!

I hope this post inspires you to create your own winter wonderland in your home for the holidays.  Simple touches can make a huge impact and by using items from the Better Homes & Gardens line, you can do it on a small budget.  

Wishing you all a lovely holiday season!

Simply Spooktacular DIY Projects: {Sponsored by Better homes & Gardens at Walmart}

As a Better Homes & Gardens Stylemaker, I am honored to work with their amazing brand sharing their stylish and affordable line of home products available at Walmart! As always, any product reviews or opinions are honest feedback from my personal experience.  This post contains affiliate links to Walmart, which means the brand rewards me with a small commission for any sale resulting from a link click through from my blog.  I am excited to share my October project with you today!

We are in full on fall mode over here and have been having a blast doing some DIY projects! From adorable fabric pumpkins and scary spider wreaths to spooky, salty and sweet snacks, I am sharing some fun and easy DIY projects that will surely get you in the Halloween spirit!  Let's get started...

DIY Fabric Pumpkins:

Supplies: Fabric, Poly-fill, scissors, circle pattern, sharpie, rubber bands, lunch baggies, dried beans (rice, pebbles or sand works as well), driftwood for stem (branches, cinnamon sticks, scrap wood pieces work as well).

Amount I spent: $30 on fabric but I have a ton left over for other projects and I also bought 3 different fabrics so I would have a variety of pumpkins. I picked up some dried beans, poly-fill and rubber bands for under $14.  Shop your house before you purchase anything, you might be surprised at what you find! 

Directions:

-Trace circle onto back of fabric and then cut it out....doesn't have to be perfect.  I used a plastic plate as a pattern.

-Place dried beans, pebbles, rice or whatever you want to use in a plastic baggie in the center of the circle.

-Layer stuffing in the bag and place stem in center.  Add a rubber band to the stem:

Tuck fabric into the rubber band all the way around.  Once done, you can mess with it to get it the way you want it. 

All done! So easy to make and they look cute just about anywhere!

I love the fabric I used from the Better Homes & Gardens fabric line, they have so many prints!  Cannot wait to make more with the black fabric!

Check out the huge selection of fabric Better Homes & Gardens has at Walmart...

My next super easy DIY project took less than 3 minutes to complete and turned out adorable!  You just need a dried wreath and some plastic spider rings.  I used this festive dried wheat wreath from the Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart for my project and it turned out perfect!

DIY Spooky Spider Wreath:

Supplies: Dried wreath ($19.98) and plastic spider rings (.98)

All you have to do is take the rings and "hook" them onto the wreath in various places. The rings are split so it makes it so easy.  The end result looks like little spiders are crawling all over the wreath.  And the best part....when Halloween is over, you can easily remove the spiders and keep the wreath up for the rest of the fall season!

I absolutely love the way it turned out and how it completes my "spooky' Halloween porch!

Both of those DIYs are super simple and a fun activity the kids can participate in, too! 

Now onto the yummy part...

My daughter hosts a little Halloween soiree every year so I wanted to come up with a super fun and oh-so-spooky snack station.  I decided my dining room area needed a snazzy bar cart, so I ordered this pretty gold and glass one from Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart.  I know we will use this often and I cannot wait to transform it with each season...spooky snacks for now, then I will transform to a hot chocolate station around the holidays! Possibilities are endless for bar carts!

I filled the bar cart with some super simple, spooky snacks.  They are all so easy to create!

Cup of Dirt:  

Link: Hammered Metal Dip Bowl

I used these hammered metal bowls to create a cup-of-dirt in.  I feel like they look like they look "Halloween-ish" with the rustic finish.  These, of course, can be used for so many other things when we are finished with them.  Just add pudding, Oreo crumbles and creepy crawly candy of choice for an easy snack that is sure to be a crowd pleaser!  Bowls were under $3.00 and food items under $8!

Skeleton Char-Spook-erie Board:

So easy to make...use marshmallows to outline your skeleton head, eyes, nose, mouth and fill with candy. Fill in with white cheddar popcorn or snacks of your choice!

Link: Hammered Metal Tray

Hammered Circle Tray (under $20) + White Cheddar Popcorn, marshmallows + chocolate yummies = a fabulous sweet and salty treat (food under $8).  So easy to make and looks adorable...until this little goblins eat it all up!

Another Better Homes & Gardens find was used to serve the rest of the snacks.  I love this tray because you can move the white serving trays around and it keeps food separate.  For a festive touch, I added spider rings.  Love the way it turned out!

Link: 5 Piece Grazing Board Set

On the lower level of my new bar cart, I used another awesome serving piece to hold cookies.  This acrylic cake stand (under $20) can be turned over to use as a chips and dips tray!  I love multi-use serving pieces! 

Our spooky snack bar is all ready for the party!

Another quick project I completed was putting together a super simple tablescape.  Plastic bats (package of 100 for $7) adorn a pretty black lantern ($18) for a subtle touch of Halloween.  I used the fabric pumpkins I made to bring in a whimsical feel and candy adds some spooky flair!  I  love the new table runner  (under $13) I got and will likely use it all year long! All really simple items that can be used in other ways when Halloween is over!
