High-End Fall Decor Ideas On A Budget

Lianep Carrion

I’m going to start this post with a question……What is “High-End Fall Decor”? Or, what is High-End home decor in general? I’ll give you my, unofficial, definition……It is decor that looks like it was made with expensive materials or purchased in a high-end boutique or store. There…that’s my definition of what high end Fall decor is. Ok, so maybe there’s a better definition somewhere, but I think it works. And who doesn’t love high-end looking decor, right? They are beautiful, durable and they tend to be on the larger side. However, the reality is that, although we would all like to decorate our home with high-end decor, not all of us can afford it. And this is why I love what I do.

I love taking inexpensive, and at times, unusual items and turning them into beautiful, high-end looking decor. And I love doing it for every single season.

For example, let’s say I were to take a wired basket from the office isle at the Dollar Tree and turn it into a beautiful piece of Fall decor, would you believe me?! Well…..that’s exactly what I did on a recent video. I created a Fall wreath using a wired basket from the Dollar Tree and it came out absolutely stunning! Seriously. And not only did I make this wreath, I also created several more Fall decor that will blow your mind when you see them. And the best part is; they were all created on a budget.

Get A Custom, High-End Look With Dollar Tree Pumpkin Signs

Lianep Carrion

Dollar Tree currently has isles and isles full of Fall decor, and I’m loving it! They have tons of options and styles to chose from. And, although I think many of them are absolutely beautiful, I do think they are often too small for my own space. So, what do I do? I use them, glue them, paint them and recreate them into larger, more high-end looking decor! The key is to use them as canvases and add paint, stencils, florals, ribbon and anything else you need to turn them into the style you need and are looking for your home.

Taking $1.25 Dollar Tree items and crafting them into beautiful decor is one of my favorite things to do on my channel. And I have tons of inspiration there for you. From quick and easy, 5 minute crafts, to more intricate ones, I have it all.

Lianep Carrion

In the past couple of years Dollar Tree has upped their game when it comes to their Crafter’s Square Isles. They’ve added so many new and fantastic crafting supplies; from wood pieces, to a wide selection of florals.

On one of my recent trips to their crafting isles, I noticed a couple of boxes filled with fabric rolls. I hadn’t seen them before and didn’t even know so many design options were available! There’s not much fabric in each roll, but there’s enough to make beautiful crafts, pillows and custom diy home decor.

Since Fall crafting season is upon us, I decided to grab a bunch of rolls with Fall colors and designs. These colors were bright and so vibrant, I instantly knew I wanted to make a dedicated video on how to use these beautiful fabric to create stunning Fall DIY crafts.

Thrifted 90’s Wood Bench Makeover

Lianep Carrion

I have been flipping furniture for a few years now and this makeover has to be one of my top 5 furniture flips! This poor bench was so neglected, dirty, beat up and, just simply, outdated. The moment i saw it on Facebook Marketplace I knew I had to buy it and give it new life.

It is now beautiful, fresh, and so darling.

You can watch the full transformation here 👇👇👇, or you can read the steps below. I also have tons of other furniture flips and DIY Home Decor on my YouTube Channel.

Today’s blog post is in collaboration with some amazing and talented ladies. They are as obsessed as i am about thrifting and upcycling. At the bottom of this post you’ll find more information about them well as the link to their post. Make sure to head on over to them and get inspired!

The first thing I had to do was remove the upper back board with the 90s hearts and replace it with a simple 1×4 board for a more modern look.

I then shop vacuumed it and cleaned it very, very well. Sanded it down a bit with my orbital sander and a 150 grit sandpaper. I dusted it very well and gave it one FULL coat of Shellac. This will help prevent any bleed-through after the white paint is applied.

Once the Shellac was dry, I gave it one coat of Killz, stain-blocking primer and let that dry completely.

Once the primer was dry I added two coats of chalk paint from Mango Paint. I distressed the edges of the bench with my orbital sander and 150 grit sandpaper, for a more farmhouse look.

I then added a French stencil to the front with Dark gray chalk paint. You can find this and other reusable stencils on my Amazon Store. I sealed the stencil with a spray top coat and then sealed the entire bench with Verathane Polyurethane in Crystal Clear. I added two coats of the sealer.

I staged it with a Summer wreath and that’s it! This 90s, neglected, beat-up and dirty bench is now fresh, clean and absolutely beautiful. It will soon be posted on Facebook Marketplace once again in search of a new forever home!

Alright…..Here are the lovely and talented ladies that will have you running to the thrift store! Enjoy!
