Halloween Decorating in Progress...

I managed to get a few decorations up yesterday for Halloween. Honestly, the Halloween decor is for the kids. I would much rather just decorate with a Harvest theme. But, that wouldn't go over very well them. So, I decorate with a few spooky items for Halloween. When Halloween is over, I'll just replace the crows and other spooky items with Harvest decorations. I'll add some gourds, pumpkins and wheat etc.

The first little decorating project was pretty easy and very inexpensive to make. The branches of course are free. We picked them up when we were out on a nature walk on Sunday. (NOTE: Make sure the branches have already broken off the tree naturally. Don't break the branches off the trees or else you will end up with some unwanted little creatures in the house.) I was going to spray paint the branches, but the branches were a really nice gray color so I just kept them bare. You could spray paint them black or any other color of your choice. Then I just added Spanish moss to the bottom of the urn and sparingly on the branches. I add a few crows and the entire little project was less than $10. The best part is it fits in with my decor :) and the kids love it!

I'll share more as I progress with my Halloween decorating.

Welcome Fall..

I have made the first step with my Fall decorating. I pulled out the petunia's and added mums to my urns in my new favorite color orange. In the small urn I added a few purple kale which looks really nice with the orange mum.

By the way, Purple is the new Fall color this year.

I hope the beginning of your Fall decorating is coming along nicely. As always, more pictures to come this week. (I promise ;)

Cheers,

Are you ready for Fall Decorating?...

I don't know about you, but I never want Summer to end. When I received an email the other day from one of my favorite blogs, TheInspiredroom.net I couldn't believe how far behind I actually am with my seasonal decorating this year. Are you ready for Fall Decorating?

Well, looks like I need to get with it and take down the shells and other summer decorating this weekend. It is a little hard right now to come up with clever fall decorating ideas when it is still close to 90 degrees and humid outside.

If you need some great ideas, don't forget to check out The Inspiredroom for inspiration. I'll share my pictures when I update my decor with Fall accessories.

Happy Fall Decorating,
