I changed my garden flag this morning. I usually start my Fall decor by now but haven't as of yet.

I don't do any "summer" decorating, and the fall stuff won't come out til the calendar says its Fall (and sometimes later). It's still hot here in SC!

@Bettyanne Today, since it is nice/no humidity where we live I am doing a good cleaning, especially upstairs as it gets very hot up there so cleaning is not good during hot summers.

As I go thru the rooms anything spring/summer is getting picked up and will put everything away. I don't decoreate the upstairs but I do have a few things that scream a particualr season.

Maybe tomorrow I will tackle the main floor, that is where most seasonal things are displayed. I like to clean really well before changing season.

I am more than ready for cooler weather and refreshed home decor.

On the day we change the clocks, I turn the mattress and put the comforter on the bed.

That's my only switch and the reverse of what I do in the Spring.

I don't know anyone who switches decor.

We only decorate our farm gate, so I switch out the metal wreaths around now.

Don't usually decorate except for Christmas but this year i wanted to decorate for Fall. It's my favorite time of year and love Fall colors. So, I bought some things when Valerie Parr Hill was last on and everything is out. It may be a bit early but don't care, I'm loving it.

Lots of Fall decor threads in the last couple of days. I love it though! I answered on those too but I just did mine yesterday. As @Mom2Dogs stated I like to also incorporate my changing over to another season with a good healthy housecleaning. I just finished my Fall cleaning and out came the decor. I decorate seasonally, suttle but enough. My mantle, dining room centerpiece and Fall flameless candles all over. The Fall wreath is hung outside and I'm rearing to go........come on Fall

No change in decor for me. I put a few things out at Christmas, but the rest of the year my house looks the same. Which is the way I like it.

I started last week. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I look forward to cooler weather and the change of season. Decorating makes me happy and it is definitely Fall in my home!!!!!!

For me, the long Labor Day weekend is a great time to deep clean, put away summer decor and bring out autumn decor. Mostly, I change out throw pillow covers and add a few pumpkins and candles. I would love to wait until cooler weather arrives, but that's not until November for us and I want to enjoy the changed decor for longer than that,

I used to display more seasonal decor, but I sold or gave away most of it when I downsized to a much smaller house last year.

Mine has been done for a week inside and I did the doors and flags outside last evening. Artificial pumpkin by the front door after rain tonight. The house is far away from the street so they appear real. Not heavy and no mess!

I started mine but just a little bit so as not to overwhelm myself.

Whenever the weather (and the spirit) moves me! LOL!! When the temps drop and the summer flowers fade I usually start the process, starting with the patio and deck. I'll have the cleaning gals do a heavier than normal cleaning and I will start changing our the window treatments, quilts, etc. . . I'm usually in full fall mode by mid October.

I did my Fall Cleaning over the past two weekends and now I have the last little bit to do. Labor Day is my official get ready to nest for a few months cue.

Actually bought some Fall clothes while out and about today and put out some Halloween items to enjoy over the Harvest season.

I started my fall/Halloween decorating about two weeks ago. I love that time of year. I'm just getting started with my decorating.

@Mom2Dogs , me too. Tired of hot, humid weather. Ready for cool weather and long long walks.

I do it over time.

I changed out the front door decor late this past week,

I changed the comforter of the bed today.

I will do other things as it gets closer to Halloween and then Thanksgiving.

I tend to be an early decorator for most seasons. My inside has been decorated for about ten days.

Outside, I did the best that I could to weed, and I put out fall decorations as well as memorial stepping stones for my mother and dad and a solar angel in a small section at the edge of my garden. (My mom died at the end of last year.)
