Fall is in full affect here in the Midwest. We have gone from shorts to hats and mittens in 2 days flat. This is one of my favorite seasons, the colors, smells and the crisp air. The apples, pumpkins, campfires and hot cider. I love walking the trails and the crunch of the leaves beneath my feet as my children hand me piles of the leaves they have found.
I like to add a little of the season to my home decor as well. It is nothing extravagant or complicated, just a pumpkin here and there. This year I committed to shopping my home for Fall decor verse buying something new. Last year I purchased a container of small pumpkins and used them as a centerpiece on the dining room table, this year I scattered them throughout the house.
Decorating the front porch is probably my favorite and I love driving up to the house seeing it in season. I think it gives the false impression that perhaps we might have it together, when in reality the inside of the house looks like a tornado went through it most days! Fake it until you make it! It took me a little longer to get around to it this year, in part because my summer flowers finally made it and I didn’t have the heart to uproot. Frost took care of that. I was able to keep some of the ivy to use in the display.
Looks beautiful! Decorating my porch is my favorite too, and probably also because it doesn’t get messed up as often, haha! So cozy and welcoming too.
Haha, it’s the one space we can keep clean!
