Celebrate Fall

 

Fall is my #1 favorite season.

I love the coziness of it

and to celebrate fall  I started

decorating my house for

fall a few years ago.

I warms up the dark nights until

Christmas and it makes me happy.

I'm a firm believer

in making things look pretty

to make your everyday brighter.

Corny but it does make me feel

better as the dark Michigan winter

is around the corner.

 

 

I add a few little

fall things on our entry

way table

 

 

I do my faux fireplace mantel above.

This cement fireplace was my parents

and I have pictures of me standing

in front of it when I was 3.  I add leaves,

lights and ceramic pumpkins

 

 

I do the same for the real

fireplace.

 

 

On the side table in the dining room

I display some pumpkin plates, lights

and gourds.

 

 

On the front porch I have

lanterns that I fill with

strands of lights and

fake leaves.  I was thrilled to

find gold lights at Hobby Lobby

this year.  I like them better

than the orange lights actually.

Orange is not my favorite color.

 

The pumpkins are fake.  I

got tired of the squirrels

chewing up my real ones

so I got these.

 

 

 

 

 

I painted this little sign.

It says " I can feel fall

dancing in the trees"

 

 

Then at night the lights

cozy everything up for me.

 

 

 

 

I can't help it...

 

 

Not sure if I ever mentioned that

I'm a Visual Merchandiser.

What I do for a living is

decorate stores and display

merchandise for stores.  So

that's why I like decorating a lot.

Now days they don't do the

big elaborate displays

like the shop windows.

It's more simplified and

more centered around graphic

signing, but it kind of

explains why I like decorating.
