Sunday was the first day of Fall! Quiet honestly, it snuck up on me and I feel like summer and days at the pool just ended. I love fall, but I really love summer! Oh well, the days go on, and fall brings some of my favorite traditions and holidays!
I wanted to decorate a few weeks ago, but it just didn't feel like fall and there was so much going on! Sunday morning we stayed home from church because Meggie wasn't feeling well, and I took the opportunity to decorate the house.
I started with the mantle:
I added a few flowers and leaves to the arrangement on the far left. Next is a pumpkin bowl that was handed down from my mom, along with a family picture, a pumpkin gourd given to my by my step-mother-in-law; a new picture frame that my grandma bought me as well as a candlestick; a pilgrim girl and a large pumpkin (Hobby Lobby.)
Most of these decorations came from Hobby Lobby! I should have bought stock in them long ago!
After I was finished with the mantle, I decorated my entry way.
When I'm redecorating for the holidays; these are the first two pieces to get decorated because they make the most impact.
Once again, I added new flowers and glittered pumpkins to a vase. I left my turquoise chalk board, and added to twig pumpkins. I also placed little squirrels.
The bottom tier, received an acorn shaped bowl filled with acorns, a fun picture of Gretchen climbing over pumpkins from a pumpkin patch trip about two years ago, and a squirrel candle holder.
Fun fact: In college, I was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. Our mascot is a squirrel, so many of my fall decorations were bought for me in college!
I don't decorate too much for Halloween. I really like having things out that will last for several months and so many Halloween decorations are ghoulish.
I have an antique sewing stand in my kitchen, and I placed the girls treat buckets on it, as well as our candy dish.
In 2011, I think that's right after I joined Pinterest, I made this ghost foot print picture!
I'll have to make another canvas this year with something of all three girls and place just below it.
On another wall in my kitchen I have this count down picture. My mom bought it for me about two years ago.
On a shelf in my kitchen, I placed a leaf candy dish, pilgrims, and my squirrel and acorn salt and pepper shakes.
I kept my kitchen table simple by just adding a dish full of potpourri.
On my kitchen island, I have a vase full of sparkling pumpkins and another candy dish.
I placed two of my fall platters on top of my kitchen cabinets.
I also set a few decorations around in the living room.
I have this wall sconce in the living room full of flowers, and I usually leave it as is, but this year I added leaves and flowers.
I love how full it is!
I still have to decorate the front of my house. That usually happens in October, after a trip to the pumpkin patch. I have a wreath that i'm revamping and i'll be adding outside, and my mom bought me a new garden flag.
Fall is officially here y'all!
Hope you've decorated!
