Greetings all!
I’m really feeling fall in the air lately! Even to the point of cleaning up the garden last week, then heading indoors to do a little deep cleaning before putting fall decor out. Lookit me go!
How to clean white sofa slipcovers
How I keep Ikea sofas white – cleaning tips shared!
First up I washed both sofa covers. I like to choose sunny, windy days so I can hang up the covers to dry on the outdoor line since there’s so many of them. It’s a biggish task that I’m always happy to get done because the outcome is always SO much better!
I also shared on stories how I clean upper picture windows from the outside (under Windows) without having to climb a ladder. Do you struggle with cleaning upper story windows too? Then it’s high time I write a post on how I do this each year because it really works! Hence the new sofa picture with much cleaner window… more coming soon!
Since I haven’t pulled anything new into a blog post yet, let’s jump forward to these fabulous upcycled project features from last week’s link party, then move onto the new additions!
And just for fun, let’s add a separate linkup on Favorite Fall Projects! Creatives, add as many or as little as you like from current and previous years!

DIY illuminated nylon pumpkin shades garland
Nylon-wrapped lighted pumpkin garland by Purple Hues and Me
You will NOT believe how to make these incredible pumpkin garland lights! Basically, the only thing to purchase is the lights and supplies. The glorious pumpkin shapes are shaped wire covered with nylons!! Hence, this garland light is SO festive and screams fall to the hilt!
DIY textured wallpaper book covers
Wallpaper book covers by Sonata Home Design
Have a book shelf you’d like to tone down a little? Once you try a little textured wallpaper to create book covers loaded in interesting texture to cozy up your space, you’ll want to make more! This process can also be used with fabric, or any other materials you may have on hand! Along with the wheat, the books resemble wearing cozy fall sweaters, don’t you think? Gorgeous outcome!
Hand painted black and white checkered pumpkin decor
Painted black and white checkered pumpkin by Sonata Home Design
Why stick to just displaying plain pumpkins? Once you add a graphic impact by mixing in painted black and white checkered pumpkins for this super fun look! And of course, your checks can be customized to any tones you wish! Love this unexpected look!
DIY aluminum can wall art in stunning Seed of Life design
Seed of Life aluminum can wall art by Birdz of a Feather
You’ll never look at an aluminum can the same way again after you check out this incredible tutorial, resulting in a Seed of Life design. Just WOW! While it’s a little involved, you could also simplify a design to suit what you have in mind! I think it has a fabulous colourful retro vibe, don’t you?

Here on the Greek island of Paros we are also feeling autumn in the air. I’m itching to get into my plants, trimming and repotting. I don’t have a garden here, just plants in pots. Its too early to trim but I hear the call of plants in need of some TLC now the summer insanity is finally coming to an end.
The house also needs a good clean, tidy and organising, though in Greece we don’t go in for seasonal decor much… its more a case of taking out summer covers for furniture and packing away rugs or putting down rugs and taking out thicker covers…
Oh and not forgetting the change-over of wardrobes from spring through summer to autumn through winter.
Fun and exciting yet so much to do!
