A little fall and itty bit of Halloween

I love decorating for fall.

If it was up to me, I would have all the pretty pumpkins and leaves out the first of September, but that is a tad bit early. So I wait until the leaves on the trees start changing color, then I start changing up my decor.

A very simple mantel, because this will be full of cobwebs and spiders in a week or two.

I had this tray in my basement and filled it with pumpkins and fake leaves.

In two days it turned into:

The Great Bionicle Pumpkin Battle of 2011.

Kids. What can you do.

Anywho,
I also kept the front porch easy because of the Halloween changes that will be occurring next week.

I was feeling the creativity bug yesterday, so made these black and orange pom poms.

I thought they gave the playroom a festive, fun feel.

And this is the first room you see upon entering our house, so it will be interesting for all those trick or treaters.

This really is just the beginning, but wanted you to see what I've been up to.

I would show you all the progress I've made in the kitchen, but it looks exactly the same as my reveal! I have painted the kitchen island three different colors, only to finally paint it back to its' original cream. Ugh. Such is the creative process..

Have you started decorating for fall yet?
