Fall decorating

Whew.......got all my fall decorating done. Took me two days, what with the vacuuming, washing my front door and cleaning the front porch.......I'm tired, but it all looks so nice.

How's everyone else doing?

I haven't even started yet...not that I do much, and what I do is inside, except for hanging a wreath at the back door. My house can't be seen from the street, and everyone uses the back door, so no need for one at the front!

I only add burgundy, or deep blue flowers to arrangements with items like pine cones and ivy.

I dislike fall colors, I am a winter and decorate in winter's colors.

I am also done with Fall/Halloween decorating. It takes a few days but the end result is so satisfying and it looks like Fall in my dining and living rooms and kitchen! The bottom line is that it makes me happy and I welcome the cooler weather!!!!

@Patriot3 All done! Finished adding fall ribbons and berries to my BL window candles today. DH helped with sprucing up the doorway. I'll add mums later on in Sept. It feels good!

I'm decorating this weekend and I can't wait! I usually do it Labor Day Weekend, but we were busy the entire time, so I couldn't do it.

I'll be decorating both the inside and outside. That's also when I turn over all of my candles, hand soaps, and body washes (just a few!) to fall as well. I am SO ready!

I love Fall, it's my favorite time of the year. Unfortunately I live in the Southeast and we don't get much of a Fall. It's still hot here and will be for some time. When I first moved here, I would put out wreaths and stuff in September only for them to get ruined by the hot sun and weather. It's hard for me to get into the mood when we have weather like this. I usually don't start decorating until late October.

Isn't it funny how one thing leads to another.

I was looking for a place to put a pan lid I don't really use which lead to re-organizing my hall closet, bedroom closet and one dresser.

It was a good rainy day project. Been raining here for 3 days....Southern Tier of NYS

I actually did mine early this year (in August). We were going away for a week so I decided to do a big housecleaning and switch over so I would come home to it ALL done!

Happy I did as here we are post Labor Day already. Now I'm working on window washing Not my favorite job but I just have to have clean windows. Traveling again early October so I am on a mission, LOL! I have this thing about coming back to a nice clean house. Happy Fall everyone

Thanks posters! I love Fall decorating. I wanted to get started but was afraid it was too early but you guys proved me wrong, thanks. I will start mine Fri. while my husband is delivering pizza. We are in our 80's and it will help pass the day.

All my halloween and fall decor came out this past weekend, with the help of a few

of my grandkids. They decorated, and after they left, I rearranged. haha

I just finished decorating the front porch for football season! LOL I'll add some fall touches in October -- it's still 90 degrees here in DFW.

Very thoughtful, that you would think about the people in your life, to decorate for all who come to your door. I, for one love to see a wreath, and decorations to greet me.

Why, would you not like the colors of fall? Colors of nature, are indeed calming to the spirit.

It does make one very happy, and upbeat to decorate. I, love to see everyone's decorations, as i take an evening walk.

Our summer finally arrived this past week and we are seeing high temperatures here in southern California so I'm in no mood to pull out my autumn decorations. :-( Fall is the one season I really miss living here. I switched over to ivory and pale green pumpkins and gourds a few years ago from the warm hued versions. The cooler, paler colors feel more fitting for our weird summer in September/October weather patterns. Even so, some years it's just too hot to get into the storage area to pull out decor. This might be one of those years. I did change the wreath on the front door.

Summer flowers went out in last weeks garbage. The garden flags are out, along with colorful mums, so I'm done.
