fall decorating

I love decorating for fall. This is our first fall together in this house so I wanted to make it look festive. It's not super fancy, but I happen to really like it!

Spider web from Ben Franklin $2.99! What a deal!


Here is our front porch with the fall wreath that I made and our pretty pumpkins. My mom gave me some picks and a grapevine wreath. I became obsessed with making this thing. I think I went to the craft store three times to get more picks because I put them on the wreath so densely.


Pretty mums in urns


We got some small mums and I regret to say that I let them die. Yikes, I know. They have slowly started to come back but I thought they added a little greenery behind the pumpkins. I added this little bat from Ben Franklin for .99 cents.



My first fall wreath

I added this little scarecrow and I think it's so cute!


Some mums in our flower bed. They are huge!


Go Hokies!

This side tree usually has lights on it year round. It looks really pretty and it's a nice light to come home to. I decided to add orange lights for Halloween. It looks really neat.

Justin has had this tree for years and it usually has shotgun shell lights on it! I decided that it's going to be the holiday tree and I'm going to change it out every holiday. I put on purple twinkle lights, orange pumpkin wrap and skull lights that blink. This picture doesn't look like it does in real life, it's a lot brighter. I put little witch shoes underneath of the tree.

Yes I give my husband milk in ghost glasses!

Everything looks wonderful, especially the yellow mums. I love how they pop against the black urns. Great finds at Ben Franklin. We don't have them up here but I loved going when I lived in Richmond.
