If You Decorate For Fall............

BunSnoop — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 02:23:20 GMT

If you decorate your home for fall, when do you start? I'll probably start mine about a week or so after Labor Day weekend. In October, I'll add some of my Halloween decorations to the fall decor.

What about you? If you decorate for fall, when do you start?

I've already put a few things out and will do the rest during Labor Day weekend. Like you, I''ll add Halloween things at the beginning of October.

I finished my front porch today. It will be hot Labor Day weekend and I wanted it done. My personal favorites are scarecrows from Hobby Lobby that I stick in all my planters. I won't add pumpkins until October.

@BunSnoop I just de-decorated the summer things. I'll do fall this weekend. I know it's early, but it's been a looooong HOT summer!

I decorated my downstairs last Thursday and decorated mom's condo, inside and outside, last Friday. I will work on the outside of my own place this weekend. But I have to weed the garden before I decorate outside.

Mine is done. I was getting so tired of Summer and needed a lift so I did it last week. I usually wait until the first day of September. I love my Fall decorations. I start Christmas towards the end of October. It takes me some time because of my back problems so I start early. I never get tired of Fall and Christmas.

I've started but will do more this weekend. September is always a busy month for me so do what I can.

I worked in the garage some tonight and getting some of the outdoor decorations out and organizing and tossing some stuff as I go. Didn't get it all done in the spring and then the summer was too hot. So good time to finish up.

@BunSnoop - I usually start after Labor Day. I'm always still in summer mode and I like my summer decorations! I put out fall then. Near the last week of September I start Halloween. DS was born shortly before, and when he was in school he always had a big costume party. I had so much fun getting the house ready and fixing the snacks! After Halloween, some fall will come back out. I won't decorate for Christmas until Thanksgiving day - family tradition!

I always start Labor Day Weekend. Once September hits, I'm in full-on fall mode.

My husband is a Halloween fanatic, so he will decorate the outside of our house for Halloween the last weekend in September. He does a massive display and it usually takes him a few days to fully set it up. With all that work, it's nice to have the month of October to enjoy it.

I start in October. I live in the Southeast and it's still so hot here. And usually remains hot thru October. I love the Fall, we just don't get the weather and it makes it difficult for me to be hanging wreaths, etc when I can also be ju,ping in the pool.

I normally wait until the last week of September/first week of October.

I keep summer up through the actual last day of summer, this year 9/23. My outdoor deck annuals are still thriving outside my main sliders off my living room, and look good through early October. I just filter in a few pumpkins out there last wk of Sept or 1st wk of October. It's still summer to me before then. (I'm in CT)...and I love summer best.

In early October when the colors outdoors, which filter indoors through my windows, start really changing to fall, that's when I put out a few simple fall accessories indoors. That is when it actually starts to feel like fall to me, so I just don't do it before it feels that way. A fall table setting, a fall pillow on an end chair, maybe a few other seasonal touches. Occasionally, end of month I've put out Halloween items, but we don't get trick or treaters at my condo complex, so it's only ever just been for fun. Sometimes now I just don't bother with that.

I do have a few ceramic Jack-o-lanterns I put out with candles in them. But I used to do it up more with spider webs and a few other spooky things I mostly don't bother with now.

I don't buy new items (except real pumpkins) because it's a short season, and I just am so over trying to store everything.

I think the fall season is the only season I rush in a little early. I'll start this weekend most likely. It's my favorite season and it features my favorite seasonal decorations.

After Labor Day, I change out my Dining Room table decor and dishes to my Fall decor......It is still really warm here, but I still do it otherwise the season seems so short!

I add a few other Fall things around the house mid September!

I do have a really nice pumpkin Wreath that I purchased from Pottery Barn years ago, but I do wait to put that on my door until end of September!!!

I love the colors and temperatures in the fall season. 🍁

I don't have a lot of seasonal decorations, but I usually change out things after Labor Day weekend.

I will put an autumn leaves tablecloth and centerpiece on the dining table and a autumn candle on a table in my living room. I switch to autumn colored pillows and throws in my sunroom later in September. In early October I will get out my Halloween candy dish and jack-o-lantern that lights up the front window.

Happy Fall, Everyone!

ETA: Totally forgot about my fall wreath for the front door. I will put it up late September.
