Our Fall-ified Little Home

I've had my decorations up for awhile, but it has taken me a tad bit longer to get pictures of them. I lost my regular camera, so it took a couple shots from the Droid to get the shots that I wanted. I must admit though, for being a phone camera, the pictures don't come out as bad as I thought they would. Big Man tells me it's some HD thing, but I'll continue to believe it's my superior phone-tography skills. 

Moving along...

I am one of those people that gets into the holiday spirit and usually decorates for almost any holiday. Fall is no exception. I finally get to whip out all my 'warm' colors, besides the decor I already use year round, and get to fill my home with gorgeous shades of reds, oranges, yellows and anything adorning pumpkins, candy corn or remotely fall-ish. 

We'll start off at my front porch....

...Welcome to my humble Little Fall Home...

Last year we moved into this house the week of Halloween so I had minimal decorations out last year and none that I put outside. This year though I went all out and turned my small porch into a little display. A couple weeks ago my sister, niece, BIL, Big Man and I hit up a local pumpkin patch to swoop up all our decorative essential.  For the hay bale, stalk of corn, 3 big pumpkins, 3 mums, and an assortment of the smaller pumpkins and gourds it was only $40. I scored the Halloween sign at Country Junction last year for about $10 and our Fall wreath is from Wal-Mart. I couldn't find any wreaths that I liked anywhere and I found this in the lame Wal Mart that we hardly ever visit, I'm glad we did that day though, I love it. 

Also, those are not 'real' eyes on the black pumpkin in the top picture. My sister and I decoupaged (hoping to post that too) pumpkins with spider napkins and a haunted houses napkins but on mine I personalized it with our last names, which is a no-go on this blog. : ) It is super cute though and I loved the way it turned out. 

Next up is the knick knacks that are scattered throughout our living room...

I don't usually have many knick knacks out regularly but for the holidays I can't help myself with all the cute cheap stuff they have. The glitter ghost were .75 cent yard sale finds, the spider bowl was I believe $5, and the graves were Dollar Tree goodies. They give me house that special extra sprinkle of Halloween that it needs. 

Trick or Treat blocks found at a craft fair and strands of leaves on my living room mirror are again from the Dollar Tree. If you don't have a Dollar Tree then I'm super sadz for you. Though some stuff is tacky, you can really find some cute things and hidden gems that you can decorate or craft with for a freakin' dollar, you can't beat that. 

And I'm sure I'm one of many bloggers who also has this framed in their living room...

I already been the pumpkin patch and I think I can consider decoupaging as 'decorating' pumpkins, now I only got a couple more to go. This is kicking me in the ass to really grab the fall by the balls and enjoy it. : ) 

Last up is the kitchen...

Though I despise the taste of candy corn, I can't help but decorate with it. Hence the shit load of candy corn candy dishes. But I also favor the true stars of the season, pumpkins!

Printable was found via somewhere on Pinterest, Candy Corn dish from Dollar General, White Serving Dish $2 yard sale find. Raffeta pumpkin from Dollar General, Too Cute to Spook sign from Cracker Barrel, Pumpkin S&P Shakers also from Dollar General and Leaf Dish from Wal Mart. 

My house isn't no HGTV or Pinterest house, but I like the decorations I have and the deals I was able to find to get them. If your not sure about decorating, just know there is some cheaper alternatives in getting the look you want. 

Do you decorate for Fall?!? 

What's your favorite piece or favorite place to get holiday finds?!?   :)
