Today I'm sharing my faves from the Fall LTK sale. These are great sales with discounts sitewide but you've got to act fast because the sale ends soon.

These long tables can be tricky to decorate sometime because, well, they are just long. Most things look too small. If you put something in the center of it it doesn't seem like enough so then you try and add something to it but that seems weird. Let's face it, they are kinda just awkward to decorate. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Your best bet is a long centerpiece and that's exactly what I did. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here are the steps to recreating my Fall centerpiece.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">First, get 2 <a href="https://rstyle.me/+h_1tSw-M6vTP3ujL_qJr0Q" target="_blank"><b>table runners</b></a>. Don't cheap out on me here, you don't want your table runner looking like a pair of high water pants because it doesn't quite make it to the end of the table. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The one linked is really long but it was still too short for my table. You want the runner hanging off each edge a few inches. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's really hard to find extra long table runners and I find it's cheaper to buy two short ones and layer them together nine times out of ten. My table is 95" long for reference.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Second, you need some kind of riser or <a href="https://rstyle.me/+1Ee31mwH1p9hdzmbCUVwjg" target="_blank"><b>wooden tray</b></a>. I happened to have the perfect piece of wood already. This was going to be a shelf in my husband's man cave but he ended up not needing this one. This is literally just a stained piece of wood. It's about 4 feet long and 9 inches wide and a little over an inch thick. It was sanded and stained, that's it. I've linked a tray that would work but unfortunately I couldn't find one that was less expensive. Your best bet is really getting a piece of wood. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Next, you'll need a couple of small cake/cupcake stands or candle holders, these are to give your pumpkins some height variation, I only used two and mine are black and pretty much blend in. You want them to be a dark color or at least match and go unnoticed in your centerpiece. You could always spray paint them if you have some old ones laying around. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here are the steps to create your long centerpiece...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Get your table runners and your wood riser/tray centered on the table.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQYhc1vWaMLt_KEP71ZOjRvpfE5p8vdg0GdldHbXNLrZkCmITtVebv8Tf4kYPMoTXo0MCpZXZ5bj67Ty59vJhLCd6Xac3Bh0PTQix9m45a6DJb83_1m9gQgnd11ozkqLQVs1I6jVGXd0OT9Hd2gR1MlCvwB73I_8Am59zgSMp5A7y_Z5fbSbppODp2IAo/s2722/IMG_3018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Long Fall tablescape candles pumpkins centerpiece" border="0" data-original-height="2722" data-original-width="2713" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQYhc1vWaMLt_KEP71ZOjRvpfE5p8vdg0GdldHbXNLrZkCmITtVebv8Tf4kYPMoTXo0MCpZXZ5bj67Ty59vJhLCd6Xac3Bh0PTQix9m45a6DJb83_1m9gQgnd11ozkqLQVs1I6jVGXd0OT9Hd2gR1MlCvwB73I_8Am59zgSMp5A7y_Z5fbSbppODp2IAo/w638-h640/IMG_3018.jpg" title="Long Fall Centerpiece" width="638" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Add your cake stands. I did the taller one toward the back third and the shorter one in the front third of my riser. Place a larger pumpkin on each one and then one in the middle on the wood riser. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I then added my candle holders throughout, making sure to stagger the height since they are different heights. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Gfuh_rwnreZPl4ckm6IlvDXy91MGUIOY3R3mGpDwzQGe0tsbdPSLeUsLeclRJoAOeCCTlvG1lNfGC00dHZM4Sha5H6RnpjFgqzwUj3GbHHiHNmGNawukMXayiSufd6qRguj_VRu1T9McpF-gIfkNWUc-cjJvpnm1Su0N0_7htLooA1AvQdAZ15FmbEE/s4032/IMG_3022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Gfuh_rwnreZPl4ckm6IlvDXy91MGUIOY3R3mGpDwzQGe0tsbdPSLeUsLeclRJoAOeCCTlvG1lNfGC00dHZM4Sha5H6RnpjFgqzwUj3GbHHiHNmGNawukMXayiSufd6qRguj_VRu1T9McpF-gIfkNWUc-cjJvpnm1Su0N0_7htLooA1AvQdAZ15FmbEE/w480-h640/IMG_3022.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Finally stick in your floral picks making sure to hide the stems under the pumpkins and the other picks. I like to use several of the same picks throughout the center piece. I got four or five of two different picks and three of another one. That's it and it's plenty full. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Almost everything I used is linked <b><u>HERE</u></b>. Some items were not available online so I found similar items for you to order. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope you'll try to make this for your table.

I could go to Restoration Hardware and drop $3500 on a table (no chairs included!). I'm gonna get sick of it in 5 years (probably less) and then I can sell it on Facebook Market place for maybe $400-500 if there are no scratches or water rings from glasses or anything else... if I'm lucky. </div><div><br /></div><div>But I'm also going to feel guilty doing this because I'm gonna be like, "Dang! I spent almost FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS on that table and I don't even want it anymore. Maybe I should keep it because we spent so much on it. I'm being wasteful. I should definitely keep it longer even though I HATE how it looks in my house now because I changed my design style and that wood tone is totally five years ago. Ugh." </div><div><br /></div><div>Can you relate? </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3co3R6tnYADz-Qigc9_bmNrzu11kkg6ZMoPkwlcgZYcb4mEIhzm85-gt0px8wge4LOVc8d0S8wpnxuMKnkprwC4woH0s9thx4wCDrMqm1c_aCQ4BdAAHiAMZa7hVBj3IuBFY8jN-z8hET7CauY7FYFZNaQg2WtHmMIZdVY36wZYHNQFVqWfJ6QhdHeFs/s2016/IMG_3223.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cheap Dining Table" border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3co3R6tnYADz-Qigc9_bmNrzu11kkg6ZMoPkwlcgZYcb4mEIhzm85-gt0px8wge4LOVc8d0S8wpnxuMKnkprwC4woH0s9thx4wCDrMqm1c_aCQ4BdAAHiAMZa7hVBj3IuBFY8jN-z8hET7CauY7FYFZNaQg2WtHmMIZdVY36wZYHNQFVqWfJ6QhdHeFs/w300-h400/IMG_3223.jpg" title="Kitchen Dining Table" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>So sometimes, actually many times, I'll buy something that looks good and isn't so expensive. The quality may not be as high as RH or somewhere like that, but neither is the guilt level when I decide to get rid of it in a few years. </div><div><br /></div><div>Which leads me to my kitchen table. I actually looked at RH for a dining table and almost bought one that was being discontinued. It was still $1500, which is steep in my mind but a steal from RH. It was going to be our kitchen table and used heavily daily. I remember thinking OMGosh, am I going to be freaking out about this table every time we eat and my boys forget a coaster or heaven forbid they accidentally scratch it!? I felt like I'd always be stressing about it. In the end I waited too long to order and it sold out. A blessing in disguise. </div><div><br /></div><div>I then found my current table on Wayfair for a third of the price and I love it! The best part is I don't stress about it at all. Everyone can do all the things on it and I'm like whatever dudes, have fun! I do have some coasters but many times they are forgotten. Oh well. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPIcIVBDTryQxuUpjKAj7qzJ5GO0reW0Rplzn1bxXT34a7ABX5C6dqrVnZopLz78Q74kLwWarMZHfFVQnpV6Tb4TVa2IdOExgjuJbHX_OeUz0AmD26D8qFnpPSVoeRt1FHw6O12QCY0MQPVKsa2R8LglcS011uUaKCcxyPYRkL7QSa_U_EogCJ5J0z1mo/s2016/IMG_3217.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPIcIVBDTryQxuUpjKAj7qzJ5GO0reW0Rplzn1bxXT34a7ABX5C6dqrVnZopLz78Q74kLwWarMZHfFVQnpV6Tb4TVa2IdOExgjuJbHX_OeUz0AmD26D8qFnpPSVoeRt1FHw6O12QCY0MQPVKsa2R8LglcS011uUaKCcxyPYRkL7QSa_U_EogCJ5J0z1mo/w400-h300/IMG_3217.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I did a video review of the table and our experience with it.

He just stuck some shims underneath the top where it's attached to the base and it doesn't wobble anymore, not at all. It's a very easy fix and definitely not a deal breaker in my opinion. I did a video review of the table and it shows exactly where to put the shims.

Today I'm sharing my budget-friendly recommendations for a boy's dorm room (or apartment bedroom or fraternity house bedroom). </div><div><br /></div><div>Not only am I going to share essentials but I'm also gonna share decor. Done for you decor! I usually charge for this service but since I love y'all so much I'm just going to give it to you! </div><div><br /></div><div>Man, I don't know about you but dorm rooms have come a looooooong way since I lived in one. I decorated my dorm room (because I've always loved decorating) and made my roommate go shopping with me to Wal-Mart (because we were poor college students and couldn't afford the fanciness of Target) so we could coordinate our bedding. We put some posters on the wall that matched our bedding and had an ugly cheap rug and that was about it. I mean, just having those matching comforters was more than most people did back then so I thought we were pretty fancy. Turns out, we weren't fancy. Dorms nowadays are fancy. Who would've thought this would be a thing??</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, I know y'all are putting out like a million dollars for your kid's college education so you want to keep the dorm costs down, I get it! So I'm here to help you save money on the dorm purchases but also not have it look like you bought everything at K-mart. </div><div><br /></div><div>Do they still have K-Mart? </div><div><br /></div><div>They are long gone around here. But when I was a kid if someone told you you got your clothes (or anything you owned) at K-Mart it was the ultimate insult, like the worst of the worst. Do y'all remember this?? </div><div><br /></div><div>Dang, this post is making me feel old. But I digress...</div><div><br /></div><div>We are NOT shopping at K-Mart thank-you-very-much! We are shopping at Amazon so you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home and still have the dorm room looking fancy-pants when you are finished with it. Your boy is gonna be so proud of you for making his dorm room look so cool!!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, let's get down to business. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sure you have a list of EVERYTHING you need. Like deodorant and shampoo and stuff like that. That stuff is a given, this is for the other stuff that's more fun. At least it's more fun to me. Decor but also some other things that'll make your kid's life easier in the dorm.</div><div><br /></div><div>First, here are links to everything listed in the design board above.</div><div><br /></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b><a href="https://amzn.to/43Vd11H" target="_blank">World Map Hanging Tapestry</a> </b>hang it on the wall on the long side of the bed, this is the cheapest big wall art that you can get, seriously! </li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/44WvMTL" target="_blank"><b>Lumbar Throw Pillow</b></a> use it as seen in the pic above, looks pretty fancy for a dorm</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3YmJGwd" target="_blank"><b>5-Piece Gray Bedding set, includes comforter, 2 pillow cases, fitted sheet, flat sheet</b></a> dark color to hide dirt</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3QoGb6q" target="_blank"><b>Padded lap desk</b></a> use for laptop and food because they're gonna be eating on their bed fo' sho'</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3qd291G" target="_blank"><b>Desk Lamp with 3 USB ports and electrical plug-in</b> </a> so they can see and charge things </li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3DNji56" target="_blank"><b>Mini Fridge</b></a> because a boys gotta eat</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3QoGuOC" target="_blank"><b>Stackable Storage Drawers</b></a> squeeze under the bed or the closet</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/44Y9vFj" target="_blank"><b>Area Rug</b></a> choose a size that works best for your space, dark color to hide stains</li><li><b><a href="https://amzn.to/3qoZp1e" target="_blank">Bedside/Bedrail Caddy</a>,</b> great for bunk beds, holds phone, book, etc.</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3rStGWn" target="_blank"><b>We Want Beer vintage pic poster</b></a> funny art for a college kid, hang above headboard. </li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/44YWDia" target="_blank"><b>12 Piece Towel Set</b></a> in Gray, to hide stains and dingy-ness from not washing often enough</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3YnHqEX" target="_blank"><b>HP Laptop</b></a> decent price and runs quick (some cheaper laptops are too slow)</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3rWLgsh" target="_blank"><b>High Speed iPhone/iPad Chargers</b></a> because kids lose these all the time</li></ol><div>Here are other items I recommend.

Start with a large anchor piece. </span></b><div><br /><div>One of the biggest mistakes I see people make over and over again is using items on their fireplace that are too small. </div><div><br /></div><div>Girlfriend, you need something big up there!! Don't be scared! </div><div><br /></div><div>It's hard to tell in pictures but my fireplace is pretty big, it's 12' tall and 8' wide with a 6' mantle. My wooden anchor piece is a barn door out of an old barn in central Illinois. I guess it was more of window covering because it's not a full door but it is 4 feet tall and not quite 4 feet wide. If you don't have a barn door I recommend using a large mirror.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgzWGbGUBILBqYBdIspi0IcLB_P-yCOLUCDJLDpdUywQTK6DOb_ERz_dgH400nIHcJTGgzJTMwiGjIZrAOSiTdVuW9SxPupm_ZyaRg8vxTP3_vJKWs6BIjINHjKzxREppK_lMFtRIMABTIYEmfBWzTEufjI-5h2QBqOhZ9ShVRgKLp0UpZ1waBQ4wjA=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgzWGbGUBILBqYBdIspi0IcLB_P-yCOLUCDJLDpdUywQTK6DOb_ERz_dgH400nIHcJTGgzJTMwiGjIZrAOSiTdVuW9SxPupm_ZyaRg8vxTP3_vJKWs6BIjINHjKzxREppK_lMFtRIMABTIYEmfBWzTEufjI-5h2QBqOhZ9ShVRgKLp0UpZ1waBQ4wjA=w360-h640" width="360" /></a></div><div><br /></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">2.

I use it most of the summer and put it up after I took my Valentine's day decor down but wasn't quite ready for Spring or Easter decor. It's a large faux eucalyptus wreath. </div><div><br /></div><div>Again, don't be scared to get something big, this wreath is about 31" across. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjECHzFPTfL_Lw3IQRc8EwwozostJqNDZuxHwJmZ_v3g51VUIWczuw8prXL7y2nUKRyAGNlwFsVlqz0rLU7AlMsrSoxnEyeYadmZjIr4shrvvQDq94RWtZ01rryQwvs34mXwuv6lfl2wCcglSQ_e0YOtlSYdW_V0bl2fmRAvwiFHOAnuqtFnEb6JrVh=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjECHzFPTfL_Lw3IQRc8EwwozostJqNDZuxHwJmZ_v3g51VUIWczuw8prXL7y2nUKRyAGNlwFsVlqz0rLU7AlMsrSoxnEyeYadmZjIr4shrvvQDq94RWtZ01rryQwvs34mXwuv6lfl2wCcglSQ_e0YOtlSYdW_V0bl2fmRAvwiFHOAnuqtFnEb6JrVh=w360-h640" width="360" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>3.

It's been quite a week down here in Texas. We had a two big winter storms in one week and frigid sub-zero temps which are super rare in these parts. Everyone heating their houses caused a major strain on the power grid (much which wasn't working anyway due to the frigid temps). We had rolling power blackouts from 2:00am last Sunday through Wednesday night. We were blessed that our power kept coming back on! We were also blessed that none of our pipes froze (yet, two more days of cold temps) and we had running water and food the whole time. So many our doing much worse, still without power or running water or busted pipes. Please pray for Texas. <div><br /></div><div>Now, on to the party. <!--start InLinkz code-->
