Minimal Autumn decor

Despite it being extremely hot outside (we are having Indian summer here in Pennsylvania) I am so happy that Autumn is here. 

I never really decorate for any seasons, but this year I am so in the mood for it. 

So, I was on the quest for:
1. cheap
2. minimalistic
3. atmospheric 
Autumn decor. 

Picture 1: I found an old milk jug at the house and painted it white. Then I also found this small gold ribbon and tied it on it. I bought these Autumn looking flowers at my local craft store (Michaels) for 5$. I find this piece to be minimal and very atmospheric and I love it <3

Picture 2: Everything was already in my bedroom (the shelf is a DIY and so is the frame with flowers- I collected and dried them up). I just added a small blue vase (had it in the house) and bought some Autumn looking flowers from Michaels (3$) for a nice color pop.

I actually think that the rusty orange flowers somehow bring the whole thing together - and I absolutely adore it.

It's a great example of how small details can definitely transform the whole room's ambience. It's the fist thing I see when I wake up, and it makes me pretty happy :)

Picture 3: Next I took a vase that I already had in the house and spray painted it white (it was bright blue before - not my thing). And yes, once again I put some Autumnal looking flowers inside of it. I know it's repetitive, but they all are so different - somehow it all just goes so well together.

I already had the LOVE sign, but I think that golden leaves in the flowers bring out the sign even better. 
This one is situated in my living room's bookshelf. It's minimal and it's rustic, and it was only 2$ (for the flowers) + 7$ for white spray paint (but I used it on so many different things).

Picture 4: I also bought this awesome looking pumpkin. I try to stick to grey- white- black theme, so this is a wonderful pop of color for my room.

I placed it near the tv, on a small table that holds white flowers (couldn't take the picture due to horrible light). 

This pumpkin is proof that decor doesn't have to be excessive, or big, or expensive (it was 5$). Little details have such a way of brining the whole room together. 
​Also, the less decor you have the easier into focus on it - nothing gets lost amidst the clutter. 

Those are all of my minimal Autumn additions for this year. I added something small and bright in each room, and to me it made a huge difference.  I also placed a Autumn wreath on my front door (no picture).

I had ideas of going with live flowers, but nothing really blooms anymore outside (I don't ever buy flowers - I try to scavenge what nature gives me). But maybe soon I can get some bright read laves to display in a vase. Or some very pretty twigs. 
I am all up for free, nature decor (as long as it doesn't have any bugs on it).
