fall1The crisp can be found peaking through the warm air this morning. Ever so slightly fall is sneaking in, meshing the end of summer & the beginning of autumn. Soon it will be gooles & ghost! Pumpkins & Mums all around.

So when is the official time to bring out the fall decor? I usually bring out the orange as soon as my husband leaves for hunting camp on labor day weekend.  Others wait until mid September or the beginning of October, but I am not aware of the official time to bring out the decorations. Maybe we will have to declare it ourselves!

Whatever your official date of decorating is it’s probably coming up & fall is by far my favorite time of year to celebrate. Maybe it is because I really have not decorated all summer & fall begins my year of holiday themed decor!

If you are like me - itching to splash your porch with pumpkins & corn stalks here are a few ideas for your home!

simple

 

Try adding a few simple elements to a mantle or a main focal point in your house, such as an entertainment center.

flMake up some sweet candle holders for your table to bring in the warmth of the season

 

Try adding green with your fall color to bring in the elements of your existing theme. Green is the ultimate neutral & will tie anything together if added correctlyfall

ideas9I am a big fan of these vinyl words & phraseshttp://www.wallwords.com/index.asp kind of started the movement, but now you can find them in most craft sections at any retail store. You can also customize a pic or phrase at your local print shop.

No matter where you purchased them they are great. You can change them with your decor & I am pretty sure a big dumb farm animal can apply them! ideas4Yes I love them & you will too.

Have a bare wall?  Just throw up a silly phrase or picture & your done. Kids rooms, living areas, that bare spot over your wall!

That’s my pick for the day! LUV THEM!
