Thanksgiving/Fall Decor...

This year is zooming by, I can't believe we are already headed into the holiday season!

Before you know it, we will be decorating for Christmas.  

I love Christmas, but I hate to skip by Thanksgiving.

We took our Halloween decorations down yesterday.  

I had everyone in our family tell me five things they are thankful for... 

We hung them in our kitchen on this board.  

It's so fun to switch out pictures and quotes for different holidays.

I also loved hearing my kids' responses...my four year old couldn't stop listing things once she got started. 

 I love how she is thankful for unicorns, mermaids & butterflies!

This little corner is one of my favorite spots in the kitchen.

Here is our table...

I moved my lanterns that are usually on my fireplace to the table...

 Then I placed these little turkeys inside.

It's a fun change.

 This is the tray on our island...

Here is my view from the kitchen...

The family room...

 I kept my fireplace really simple, but I love it!

 Happy Thanksgiving!

A Touch Of Fall In The Living Room...

Our living room is all ready for Fall...

 I love decorating with the mini pumpkins!

 This is on the table in our entryway.

Our piano...

 I filled the glass jars with candy corn. 

Another view from the kitchen area...

I'm loving my lantern, it's fun to fill it up with decorations for the holidays...

 I hung a wreath with burlap on the mirror.

I spent the last few days painting trim and it's been a nightmare!  The tape leaked through, so I'll be doing MORE touch-ups and then I'll show you my living room makeover.  

Did you notice I spray painted the mirror gray too?

Painting is a pain, but really does make a difference in a room.

Happy Fall!

Fall Decorating Ideas...

It's always a sad time when summer is coming to an end, unfortunately my kids go back to school in a few days! 

There is one positive thing about the end of summer...Fall!

It is one of my favorite seasons.

Here are a few things I like to incorporate into decorating for Fall:

1-Use Pumpkins

2- Use Fall Foliage

3- Use Different Containers To Display Fall

4-Put Them All Together

All of that inspiration helps my depression about school starting & summer coming to an end!

When do you start decorating for Fall?

Fall & Halloween Decor 2013

Welcome...

To our home!

  I kept the front porch pretty simple this year.

I kept my green topiaries in the pots & added wreaths to top of the planters.
Here is our entry...

It's the same as last year.

I just added a burlap bow to my vase.

I also added a little foliage with some pumpkins to the wreath on this wall. 

 I just added this collage to my living room.

You can see the before and after pictures HERE.

Our piano area...

I just added a few pumpkins to the piano.

I added a touch of "fall" to the wreath...

The piano is kind of like having a mantel to decorate ...

I decided to add another little pumpkin to my lamp table.

I love the stem on this one!

I'm also loving my yellow accents with all of the fall colors.

Next, is my dining area...

I added some fall leaves to the chandelier & table.

My family room is the "Halloween" room...

 

I kept my mantle the same as last year too...

The only thing different is an added  "Happy Halloween" sign & few pumpkins to the mantle. 

Last year, I added polk-a-dot wrapping paper to the back of my shelves.

This year, I kept it the same, but instead of potion bottles on the one shelf,

I added this cute owl...

Isn't he cute?  

He was only $3.00 at Walmart!

 Then I put him on a pumpkin from the dollar store.  

He even has a little hole in the bottom, so he fit right on the stem of the pumpkin.

He's a new favorite!

Wow..that was a long post!  

Are you ready for fall & Halloween?  

It is definitely a favorite time of year for me.

I hope you all have a "Spook-tacular" Halloween!!
