Shopi have kind of a shocking confession….as someone who loves home décor, who loves the holidays + who champions making your home yours….
i no longer decorate for every season. as in, i don’t have a stash of fall/halloween/thanksgiving decorations that i put out.
(i’ll pause here for dramatic effect)
i used to. i used to have all sorts of stuff that i would pull out when fall came around. i brought out seasonal candles, i changed pillow covers in our great room, i swapped out blankets + throws, and i had knick-knacks that would be set up in cute little vignettes in our house. (mr. re-nest loved this, let me tell you!)
somewhere along the way, i just stopped. i can’t pinpoint when it was (maybe when little mr. re-nest #1 was born? maybe when we moved from indiana to illinois, and a “great purge” happened?) all i know is that i still have one or two seasonal candles that i’ll pull out on a weekend, fall day (you know, those cool, overcast days that are my fave) and that’s kind of it.

| the front porch. excuse the lovely electrical cord. 🙂 |
so, it’s pretty much the front porch, until the day after thanksgiving, and then. it’s. on. i think at last count, i have twelve of those large rubbermaid bins filled with holiday decorations. three trees. wreaths. table settings (for a table we never use). chair ties. outdoor lights. candles. stockings. banners. it all comes out. and, it’s my most favorite time of the year!
for now, i love looking at pinterest + my instagram feed at everyone else’s fall decorations (and let me tell you, there’s some great ones out there!) and, i’ll wait until november 27 for all of my decoration hub-bub to begin!
tell me: how about you? do you go all out for fall/halloween/thanksgiving?
