Tired of looking at my Americana decorations, been up since Memorial Day weekend. Too early for the pumpkins to come out. Any suggestions for that in between time?

Since it is mid August and September is only 2 weeks away, you only have to look at your Americana for 2 more weeks and could start with Fall decorating in September as that is Fall.  Go to Hobby Lobby as they have lots of Fall decorations beside pumpkins.

 

My door wreath is changing to my Fall wreath September 1.  It is my favorite of my wreaths.  I don't Fall decorate other than that as we have a yard full of beautiful flowers and a stone fountain which will have 4 waterfalls until the water freezes.  I will add Mums for Fall in September and our Asters are just starting to bloom for Fall.

 

I don't seasonal decorate inside except for Christmas as I like the way my house is decorated and don't want to have to put anything away.

I don't think it's too early to bring out the pumpkins.  If you're feeling it,then the time is right.  The season is so short before we're all bombarded by the holidays.  Enjoy your fall decor now. I won't tell on you.  ðŸ˜‰

@KathyM23  I have been to Hobby Lobby and that is the problem.....I was a little too inspired. You are right, only two more weeks and it will be September.

Re: Transitional Decorating

[ Edited ]

Boy, am I glad I don't Fall decorate!  I am seeing so much that I really like in Valerie's midnight show that I woud be one broke woman.  If I were younger, I might start Fall decorating along with Christmas.  I have always liked the autumn colors and everything I see tonight I want.

 

I also wish I had space (and money) to buy the beadboard 2-drawer/2-door cabinet

I agree 100% ! Sunflowers mixed in are perfect for transitioning some decor from Summer to Fall . They seem to fit in with so much
