Fall Decorating

4 years ago

For years, I got in the spend a lot of money decorating the house both inside and out for fall. And after the one really BIG year -- when I had so many $$$ pumpkins to pitch at the end of November, that I've downsized each year until I've come up with autumn decorations that don't bust my budget but yet give a hint of autumn both inside and out.

I put mums in the upstairs front planter replacing the geraniums that lived there in the summer, the front urns have red begonias in them which fit into the theme so I don't change them out and this year I put 5 smallish pumpkins along the porch railing.

In the back garden, I buy two inexpensive mums and put them in the garden along with a small pumpkin and a bigger one. I also get one of the mini pumpkins for the fairy garden!

Inside, my flowers are autumn colored mums and/or mini pumpkins and gourds in bowls. Mostly on the breakfast and dining room table -- where I keep fruit or flowers all year long -- seasonal ones.

I spent a total of about $40 and our house may not be as lavishly decorated as some but it looks lie autumn IMO and I'm happy that I don't have to take out a loan (LOL) to decorate.

Do you decorate for autumn? How much?
