Moving from Halloween and into Fall














It's been awhile since we've posted... any most of you have probably already transitioned your Halloween decor into fall... but in case you haven't--or you're looking for ideas how to easily do so, I wanted to share our fireplace decor with you. Our fireplace is one of the "main" areas that we change out with the seasons. But, because this time of year is so hectic anyway, we like to keep the switch simple... getting rid of some elements while keeping others in place.


For Halloween our mantel consisted of our HOME letters (these stay in place almost year round), my favorite milk glass vases filled with pumpkins (from homebodies of course!), a metal tin (which also is a year-round staple) and a framed spider print (found the frame at a yardsale, painted in black and put newspaper and cut-out spiders in place as artwork). Faux spider web draped over the whole thing added just the amount of spooky.

To transition into fall, we removed the faux spider web, switched out the framed spider print with a colorful fall wreath (from homebodies) and added our pilgrims and owl candles (also from homebodies). It's not much, but it's enough to get us through Thanksgiving and then it's onto Christmas!
