Fall decorations?
What do you girls put up for fall decorations? I have one awesome fall scented candle, but that's sort of "it" for me. I'm curious!!
Re: Fall decorations?
I have autumn leaf garland that I put across my mantel. I used to have orange lights inside of them, but they burned out... but I'm looking for more. I put up an autumn leaves wreath over the fireplace.
I have a curved staircase and I wrap the leaf garland down the banister. I put out fall rugs by the doors and fill vases with harvest-y foliage like like cattails and wheat-looking stuff.
The coffee and end tables get small decorations like pumpkins, gourds, etc. I change out the potpourri and stuff to be a fall scent and fall type items.
Right around the first of October, I get corn stalks from the farm store up the street and I use festive fall ribbon to wrap the corn stalks around the poles on my front porch. I also put out pumpkins on a bale of hay.
I have a wreath for the front door, get some pumpkins and plant mums in our front entry. Inside, I have a fall colored table runner, picked up a decorative pumpkin at homegoods yesterday.
I pinned some fall ideas here - http://pinterest.com/colleenco/holiday-stuff//
I really want to do those lace covered pumpkins. I'm thinking a few by our fireplace.

Generally I get one new thing per Holiday each year at Home Goods....so I kind of don't remember what I have until I go into the attic each year, lol.
This year I totally flaked on changing out my Spring stuff for Summer - boo!
I have a shaff of wheat that I put on the mantle and a wreath for the door - that much I remember. I always get pumpkins and mums but the mums always seem to die b/c the front of my house gets full sun all afternoon.
Me too! I kind of want to fill our fireplace with them
I painted some white ones with our house number last year and it was really cute.
I do a lot of the above, pumpkins, mums, fall mats, leaf wreath, table runners, Fall signs, candles, and garland. I also have some really cute glass pumpkin/acorn filler and I always fill a few hurricane glasses with those.
We should do a show and tell of fall decoration in October!
The same things others have mentioned- pumpkins, candles. I have a fall wreath for the door. I also have a basket of fake fall fruit ( gourds and such) that I place out as well. Its not as cheesy as it sounds ( at least to me).
This year I'm looking to add the fall theme to my dining room. Maybe a nice runner?
My fall decor won't go up until at least mid October around here though.
That's what I wanted to do to! But that but add up to a lot of $$ with lace stockings. I could probably get some lace at Joanne's instead.
