Fall...have you decorated yet?

[teachermomof2]

Today is the first day of fall! Love it! Have you decorated yet? I'm thinking that I'll start tomorrow. I'm hoping to head to Michael's and pick up the lighted grapevine pumpkins I want to put in the urns after dance tomorrow. Then I can start on the outside. I'm still waiting for the builder to come in and do the drywall repairs, so there is not point in doing the inside just yet.

My office is all decorated.

I have ceramic pumpkins, leaves- one green, one burnt orange, one yellow, a spice candle sitting out (that everyone picks up and smells ), and I bought a white ceramic pumpkin with a light in it that I keep lit.

I also have small peanuts characters set out. Snoopy bobbing for apples and Charlie Brown sitting next to a pumpkin. I also have a Lucy dressed as a witch and Pigpen dressed as a ghost- those will go out closer to Halloween.

At home, I set out mums and pumpkins, gourds, and Indian corn on my front stoop. And I change all my kitchen towels to fall colors, put burgandy throw blankets on the couch and love seat and change the towels in the bathroom to those colors as well.

I had planned on a big fall dinner for tonight - but did not take in account first day of fall landed on a Friday, so I plan for tomorrow!

No decorating yet - we are under a pile high of dust from our porch renovations. I did find my scarecrow for the lawn

I picked up some mums, but our cat tore them apart while I was at work today!
Who knew she was such a plant hater - left message at vet to see if they are toxic, looks like she just tore them apart and rolled in them.

Last weekend I put out some orange candles and I've got some ceramic gourds & a bobble-head ceramic figurine with a candle. That's all I have for now.

I have a lot of it done. I hung the wreath on the door, put out the hay bales and the scarecrow and changed the welcome mat from Americana to Fall/Harvest. I got a new Snoopy Autumn Welcome flag and hung it. The fall candles and tart warmers are out. I am still working on my fall tablescape/centerpiece. The only other stuff left is specifically Halloween, so I won't put those things out for another week or so until Ocober.

I changed the summer potpourri to the fall one and laid out the wooden acorn on the shelf. In a few weeks I'll get out my gold pumpkins.

I finally decorated last week. I don't have a lot of Fall decorations, but I like what I have.

Normally, I would have decorated September 1st, but it has been too hot.

Just finished the last of it yesterday. New wreath hung on the door, corn stalks up, new mums planted, fall flag up and on the inside, I have new fall scents in the various devices that give off smells. Fall curtains up in the kitchen as well as all the summer decor gone and replaced with the darker heavy winter decor in all rooms. Just need to buy one more mum for my living room and I'm all set in there.


I will be doing a make over of the guest room as well this upcoming week, I just finished buying the items to go in there all red and gold, so it will in a sense be perpetual autumn in that room.

I love hearing how you all are decorating it is one of my favorite pastimes, decorating that is.

Have a great day! ~ Farmerswife

I hung two fall wreaths and put out fall decorations around inside the house - ceramic pumpkins, fall candles, centerpiece on table. I still have a few other things to do. I'll add Halloween touches in a week or so. I need a fall mum and some plants to re-do some planters.

You guys have inspired me to pull out my totes and get started today. It is so warm here and its bumming me out a little. We had the best fall temps last week.

Nice pics Jana!

I'm bummed because Michaels and Pier One both did not have the grapevine lighted pumpkins. I guess I'll give up on that idea for now since I am not paying 100 dollars for a pumpkin through grandin road. I have some stuff on the front porch now. I changed my flags and have some other things to do.

Janabanana- LOVE it! Love your blog!

JanaBanana your decorations are beautiful.

Normally I would have started decorating the beginning of the month but this year I just haven't had time and have had trouble finding anything that I just have to have. I need to bring my totes up one by one and go through them all. I mostly have Halloween stuff with a little fall mixed in like leaf garlands.

Today I bought two scarecrows dressed in camo clothes to put out front. I also got 4 plastic pumpkin pails (not the rounded ones) for $1 each and i'm going to set the mums I bought inside of them and put them on my front porch stairs. We always get real pumpkins from the pumpkin patch so i'll have to wait on that until DH is home. When the leaves fall we'll make a scarecrow for the front porch as well.
