Pumpkins and acorns and fall leaves- Oh, My! It’s that time of year again when stores stock their shelves with Fall decor and pumpkin spice makes its triumphant return. But here’s the thing- some of the best Fall decor starts at a thrift store first and gets transformed into something amazing.Read more ›
Greeting Autumn with Fall Signs
![Greeting Autumn with Fall Signs](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/fall-signs.jpg)
I have to admit, I never really jumped on the “Signs for all things” decorating bandwagon. Live, laugh, love was something we naturally did- not advertised in our house. But…but…I have made exceptions during autumn and upcycled a few Fall signs along the way.Read more ›
Fall Candy Dish and Indian Corn Decorations
![Fall Candy Dish and Indian Corn Decorations](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/fall-candy-dish-and-indian-corn-decorations.jpg)
A corn bowl like this is something I see while thrifting quite frequently. Some of them are valuable (i.e., Corn King by Shawnee Pottery). But there are a LOT of dupes and fakers out there, which I decided were fair game for upcycling. And I had an idea to turn one into a fall candy dish that doubled as Indian Corn decorations, which would be perfect for Thanksgiving.Read more ›
Hello Fall Sign on a DIY Loom
![Hello Fall Sign on a DIY Loom](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/hello-fall-sign-on-a-diy-loom.jpg)
When I first spotted this thing at a thrift store, I had no idea what it was. Which, I suppose, made it even more attractive to me because it ended up in my cart! Posting it on my Facebook page revealed what it was- a casserole dish holder- but I was already mulling over using it as a DIY loom. A DIY loom that could double as a standing frame to display a Hello Fall sign!Read more ›
Coastal Fall Decor

Many years ago while visiting our old stomping grounds (West Palm Beach), we visited a nautical antiques shop that was simply FABULOUS. While no longer in business there, I’ve had a prized pair of lobster buoys since our visit. And one of them recently inspired me to create some coastal fall decor.

As I was scrolling on Facebook one day, an ad for furniture legs and feet caught my eye. You see, I assumed it was an ad for natural wood pumpkins! Squat with fluted edges, I was surprised to find that they were bun feet instead! That’s when I knew what my next project was going to be.Read more ›
Pumpkin Basket for Fall Decor
![Pumpkin Basket for Fall Decor](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/pumpkin-basket-for-fall-decor.jpg)
Truth be told, I didn’t know that this kind of small wooden basket was called a Clam Hod when I first spotted it. All I knew was that I spotted a certain shape that I could tease out and turn it into a pumpkin basket. After buying it and bringing it home, I figured out its name (i.e., clam hod) (with a little help from my friend, Maliasmark).Read more ›
Fall Leaves Decor on an Autumn Sign
![Fall Leaves Decor on an Autumn Sign](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/fall-leaves-decor-on-an-autumn-sign.jpg)
Like most people, I adore the colors of fall leaves. But even more specifically, I love leaves that are “mid-change”. The ones that showcase a gradient of colors in green, yellow, orange, and red. So, I decided that I really wanted to try to capture that magical transition by creating some fall leaves decor to showcase the change.Read more ›
Fall Apple Decor from Monkey Pod Bowls
![Fall Apple Decor from Monkey Pod Bowls](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/fall-apple-decor-from-monkey-pod-bowls.jpg)
Even though I had already upcycled some monkey pod wood once before, I decided that thrifting fate was telling me to do it again. You see, I came across these monkey pod bowls twice over the course of a few weeks. And, well– that’s a rarity for most thrift store “smalls”! After I saw them the second time, I decided they kind of looked like Fall apples, or rather, they could look like apple decor. Read more ›
Acorn Decorations from Tweed Jackets
![Acorn Decorations from Tweed Jackets](https://www.sadieseasongoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/acorn-decorations-from-tweed-jackets.jpg)
While putting together a collection of Upcycled Fall Decor projects for a blog post, I ran across this oversized acorn decor project that I just fell in love with. It’s not my originally idea (important for me to point out), BUT I wanted to create my own version of acorn decorations. Of course, not just any fabric would do, though. I wanted to make them with a tweed sport coat.Read more ›
