Fall Decor Inspiration: Pumpkins, Apples + More
-
Because we decorate so early for Christmas, we’ve never really decorated our home for fall. This year, we haven’t even put up our annual porch display (#6) because we haven’t gotten around to buying hay or pumpkins!
That said, there are so many great ideas on Pinterest for fall decor — from fall wreaths and table centerpieces to accessories and mantle displays — that I’m really thinking about breaking from tradition next year and decorating for fall!

We usually create a simple display for our front porch using corn stalks, hay bales, pumpkins and this “family” of scarecrows to match our own family. It’s nothing spectacular or fancy, but it’s a cozy way to welcome visitors to our home!Source: Family of Scarecrows | Decorating Your Way
This may be my most favorite idea of all, both for its simplicity and its beauty. Gently carve a small hole in the top of an apple (preferably one with a flat bottom!) and insert a tea light. How simple is that?Source: Apple Candles | Holiday with Matthew Mead
