I realize that Fall doesn't officially start until until Friday, September 23rd, but as soon as the calendar turns to September, I can't help but think of Fall. I'm of the kind, that as soon as Thanksgiving is over, I break out the Christmas decorations. And as soon as the calendar turns to September, I break out the fall decorations. October 1st rolls around? Out comes the Halloween decorations. I figure that if I am going to go to the trouble of decorating our house for the holidays, I might as well enjoy them for an entire month. Or longer. And besides, I have yet to have the holiday police come knocking on my door.
Here are just a few ideas that have me itching to break out my boxes of fall decorations...
I really dig these pumpkin topiaries. Craft pumpkins would be perfect for these and could be used again next year.

This pumpkin topiary is charming as well.

I have been scouring the internet for fall mantle ideas. I love all the pumpkins on this mantle.

Here's a simple way to decorate with candles.

I need to get me some bell jars.

And last, but not least, every door needs a fall wreath in my opinion.

Do you decorate for fall? Or have I inspired you? I promise to share my fall decorations with you as soon as they go up. I also will be sharing my Fall Collage, as well as a fun, vintage craft pumpkin shadow box that I made last year. So stay tuned!

Jenny, I am ready to decorate for fall also!! Love those mercury glass pumpkins, so pretty! I hope the holiday police never show up at my door, I would be put away for life ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll of this is so great...this is the one decorating 'motif' that I don't do. It feels really strange being by the beach and 90 degrees here through December. Not sure anyone does fall decor here, though I will get my pumpkin vibe on come mid-October!
ReplyDeleteAnd hello? Queen Mistress of the DIY does not need mercury glass pumpkins (LOVE!), she needs a can of metallic spray paint and good farmer's market!
Lauren, you're right! I so should make my own mercury glass pumpkins. Hmmmm...now just to find some glass pumpkins. I think I have one stashed in the cupboards somewhere.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Although I'm sad to see summer ending :(
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! Fall is here! Enjoy the beautiful weekend, Kellie xx
