Fabulous Fall House Tour

Happy Fall Day to You!

Well as the days are marching on I've been doing my decorating to get ready to celebrate the season. So welcome to our Fabulous Fall House Tour. Come on up the steps there are plenty of pumpkins and some planters of mums as well as mesh bows for the lanterns left over from last year. Yeah, I know there are a lot of pumpkins out here but Aldi had them for $3.99. They were $4.99 to $5.99 everywhere else and nothing says fall like a bunch of pumpkins.

On the front door who can resist a personalized polka dot pumpkin? This was one of my new decorating additions. I found it on my very first trip into our new Kirkland's. I could spend my entire allowance there every week. They have such cute stuff.

When you come through the front door a little fall pennant flag I made to hang over the hall mirror welcomes you. And of course you have to add a pumpkin and some leftover leaves.

If you look to your left when you come in you will see our dining room with it's fabulous fall on display. Last year I have to confess I was not very thrifty when I splurged on the branch of cotton. But I have already used it several times so I'm getting my money's worth out of it. I also used the tree branch candle holders with a sunflower to add something else besides pumpkins.

From the dining room you go right into the kitchen to the breakfast nook. Oh! I was so excited at how all the old stuff came together in the table scape. The brown tablecloth with the burlap place mats. Green chargers and those pumpkin plates which are actually paper plates. You've got to love that thrifty idea. Those rust colors napkins were in the clearance box because the color was so yucky but with a fall florist pick from Hobby Lobby (on sale after the season was over last year) they look pretty perky. That pumpkin is the oldest one I own but year after year it works with some floral picks and leaves spread around it. 

From the breakfast nook you can look over into our living room. I grabbed a tray and added those candle holders I got at Cracker Barrel many years ago. I found that string of orange gourds at the Goodwill dump store. Yeah, there are a few of them that have broken tops but I just turn them toward the bottom of the tray and I bet you didn't even see them. Did you? Those orange looking things, I don't know what they are but I got them at a yard sale for $.50. Fake leaves can add a lot to any display plus they are a great cover up for things that are not as fresh as they used to be.

I almost left out the kitchen bar with the happy scarecrow and over lighted pumpkin. Thrifty Honey got a little carried away when I asked him to put a few holes in the pumpkin but it turned out pretty cute. Plus you just have write some special notes on your maker board.  

Onto my favorite place of all ... the porch. There is no way you can leave it without some decorations. This year I put the old wicker pumpkin inside the black wire pumpkin. These were real bargains only $1.50 at a yard sale. I added some hedge apples I found beside the road to give it some color. Those were really thrifty ... free just pick them up off the ground. 

While you are sitting in the porch swing you can look into the yard and see the new Kirkland's flag and a pretty pumpkin. So happy!

Well I hope you enjoyed the Fabulous Fall House Tour. I know everybody may not get into fall as much as I do but there is so much to enjoy as the season changes. Because I don't carve the pumpkins these decorations will last until it's time for the Christmas decorations to come out. 

Thanks for stopping by and remember to be thrifty this week.
