Gearing Up For Fall

With only 15 days until October 1st (can you believe that?) I thought I would start gearing up for fall decor. I love decorating in the fall. I think I love fall decor even more than Christmas because most of it can be disposed of once the season is over instead of packed away. I don't know about you but packing up Christmas decor is one of my least favorite things to do. I found some inspiration pictures all involving pumpkins. These are just some of my favorite and all were found on Better Homes And Gardens web site. Starting with my favorite the monogram which I have mentioned I have an obsession with! I plan on trying this one out this year.


Look at this beautiful "pumpkin abra" done with stenciled pumpkins.

A fun rustic bench of painted pumpkins in different patterns.

Another favorite of mine....harlequins and look they are painted on the center pumpkin here!

I love this one too. Your house number carved in a stack of pumpkins. It could easily be done on a single pumpkin too!

House numbers again on a single pumpkin this time with patterned pumpkins.

Polka dots? These look painted but they are actually done with a corer and punched out of different veggies then replaces back into other pumpkins. Fun!

A Folk Art Pumpkin Quilt.

A fun place setting that would be easy to incorporate.

Another fun idea to do with a corer. Loved the spelled out word!

More painted pumpkins.

A fun fall setting done with pumpkins and rustic yard tools. I love all these fun ideas and am ready to try a few. I think I will work with the artificial pumpkins you can buy at the craft stores as they will last longer. Are you ready to start on your fall decorating? Hope you were inspired.
