Autumn is here and it's Time To Decorate
photograph:courtesy of www.creativenecessities.comTis the season for those ubiquitous earth tones of red, oranges,brown and gold. I love this time of the year and everything it symbolizes. Autumn is football, Halloween and Thanksgiving. It's family time all season long. Most of my home is decorated in earth tones, so all the fall colors blend very well, but these colors look good in any house.
Decorating is pretty easy for this time of year. Adding some fall floral arrangements, table clothes, napkins and centerpieces is all it takes. If you're ambitious, you can even decorate the front porch with most of those items.

A very simple and inexpensive natural tie wrapped around a napkin can add to your table decor and give the people sitting at your table a real feel for the fall season.

Candles can add to the overall seasonal warmth.

It's not fall unless I have planted some mums in my front yard. I found huge mums in "Aldi" supermarket for $2.99 each. I could not believe my eyes. The same mums were over $10.00 in Home Depot and Lowe's. Aldi's is regional and you may not have one by you, but if you do, go in and check it out-great buys.

Ok....I know, this is looks disgusting, but I laughed like heck when I saw it. The puking pumpkin and you better believe there will be one on my porch. Just imagine how it will gross out all the little kids-ha!! I love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Christy
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog yesterday and have gone through the whole thing in two days. Lots of great ideas! I'll be back!
Happy Fall

I love the way you wrote that... "When the air turns cool and the inside gets warm!" I love your sight and have been linking to it for my series I'm running called 1000 ways to save! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe puking pumpkin made me laugh! That's so funny. I just might have to make one.... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I really love the puking pumpkin too and plan on making it for Halloween. I just can't resist.
ReplyDeleteRachel-thanks for adding me as a link to your 1000 ways to safe. I'm always looking to save on decorating.
A little rot opened up a large can of worms. One thing just lead to another.
ReplyDeleteI really surprised myself by picking up two green "swan gourds" - they look like swans with long curving necks. We have two small white marble columns that my hubby brought home from the lab at work. So I have one "swan" sitting on top of each column. I really hope they will last through Thanksgiving! And that the teens in our neighborhood don't destroy them first.
ReplyDeleteChristy, just found your blog while searching Fall decorated front porches. You take hands down the best photos and you have such a professional eye. I really love your site and will keep it near and dear. Just love the puking pumkin. Instant guffaw! Even this was a beautiful photo! :) Thanks so much for sharing with us and doing such a wonderful job of it! Betty.
