Full-On Fall Decorating

Enough with summer! It’s time for fall! Once Labor Day rolled around, I was ready for blankets, colorful leaves, cool weather, football, and apple everything!

To continue the week’s theme of fall projects, today’s post is all fall, all the time! Full-on fall decorating! I’m sharing some of my friends’ and my favorite fall projects. They are easy, fun, and many are made from stuff you already have in or around your home!

One of my favorite fall projects is turning pumpkins into planters for mums. It’s so easy, takes less than an hour to make, and is inexpensive when pumpkins go on sale for fall (I got these 3 for $13!). And, when you’re finished with them, you can toss them in your compost bin or yard waste bin.

If you’d rather use craft pumpkins, Barb from The Everyday Home shows you how to make a planter out of a craft pumpkin. She styled hers with succulents and apples.

I love galvanized trays and buckets. Suzy at WorthingCourt used her tiered galvanized tray to create a beautiful fall vignette in her kitchen.

    Summer’s vestiges are still holding on to us here in mid-coast Maine. It was in the high 80’s today! We went swimming today after school! Same temperatures for the rest of the week. Lots of great ideas here for fall. I definitely will decorate for fall in a week whether it feels like it or not! I bought some great “faux” potted sunflowers at a church fair and I line them all up in a large granite ware fish poacher and place it in my bay window. This summer I discovered an old nutmeg grater at a flea market. I’ve placed a few small sprigs of “faux” bittersweet from the dollar store in it and hung it near my kitchen sink. It is so cute, if I do say so myself!
