Fall Decorating

allie • Sep 05, 2012

Fall is my favorite season.  I love the crisp weather, I love sweatshirt season and campfires.  I love apple cider and candles burning.  I love it all, and I wish it would last at least 3 months.  But it doesn’t.  That’s why I feel like I have to start decorating a little early, to enjoy it as long as I can:)

This year especially with not knowing what’s ahead I wanted to get a jump start on it, so last night I found all of my fall totes in the shed and pulled them inside.  I only had an hour to work on it, so I didn’t get very far.  And what I did do I just wasn’t feeling…so today I decided to start over.  But, instead I went to the outside.  The outside was a much easier task for me because since we are in the country now I can benefit a little better with free country commodities, like corn stalks from the garden, pumpkins and branches galore.  I love free decorating!!

I started with the guest house and hacking down some of our sweet corn last night.  It’s not totally dry yet, so I’ll like it even better when all of the green is gone:)

I was so excited that so many of our pumpkins actually grew! I’m kind of in love with the green cinderella pumpkins. And although I don’t use orange in my house to decorate, I love a pop of it outside.

I have been begging for stumps for quite some time now for end tables in my fireplace room, (weird..I know, but someday I’ll show you:) and one night ryan came home with some. He was so proud and I was too….just had to break it to him gently that they were a little smaller than what I was hoping for. He tells me I’m going to have to hire a lumberjack to get the stumps I want:) But…the stumps are not going to waste, they work great for fall decor!

and I have been himming and hawing about what color to paint this door. Ever since Ryan booed my cheery yellow door idea I’ve been stuck. And then I saw it…

it dresses it up a bit. So maybe in the near future I’ll have a door redo:)

Well that’s it for the guest house, my next stop was the front porch. We don’t have a ton of room, and Ryan will probably hate the clutterness of it all, but he’ll survive:) Right babe:)

and the close up..

The best part about this project was that it didn’t cost me a dime. I made the number pillow for whimsy and then decided to keep it for myself. Don’t worry though, I made more:) So if you need one for yourself either craft one or swing on by at the end of September:)

another stump:) and I lied. I did buy one thing. I bought the Olive Garden round bulb lights at Target on sale for $9. I was going to use them in the barn but I’m kinda liking them here, and can’t wait to see them at night:)

Last one:) It looks a little odd with green leaves still a blowing, but I was giddy. And the falling leaves will only add to the decor.

Did I mention I love fall?? Do you??
