Wow, I feel like I have to speak up for HALLOWEEN! I LOVE decorating for holidays, any holiday and every holiday! So I put out the black cats, owls, skeletons, candy corn and spooky-looking houses along with the pumpkins and corn and fall leaves. Then after Halloween, I gather up the spooky stuff and leave the fall stuff. We are big Halloweeners!! (hehe, I said Hallo-weeners)

I got so many decorations for Fall, I really would never need to shop again for the Fall Holiday. Now will I actually do that, probably not, but I could.

We do seasonal … no Halloween. I decorate my home for fall on September 1st. Autumn is my favorite month, and in my world it starts September 1st.

We decorate with lots of pumpkins … organic, metal and ceramic. We have lots of leaf decor, and our cornucopias are out in September. I change all the linens to warm autumn colors and an autumn wreath welcomes folks at the front door.

I only do "Fall" decorations now that my kids are gone, but used to do Halloween witches, scarecrows and ghosts. I really now prefer the Fall look! I do have it all posted on RMS. LOVE your Fall decorations….and the pictures. The kitchen looks like it is finally becoming a KITCHEN!!!!!!!!! HOORAY for you!!!! Pinky

Your kitchen is coming along!

I prefer fall decorations because I can leave them out until Thanksgiving. I love fall much more than I love Halloween, although Halloween was a lot of fun as a kid.

I actually have really fond memories of my mom decorating our house for the holidays. She added little touches for fall or Valentines day, and it added a little something extra special to our home.

My kids are 15 and 20 so I stick to mostly fall decorating. I don't decorate for Halloween until the week before Halloween, and then I just limit it to the outdoors for the trick-or-treaters.

I like seasonal decorations, just small changes like the candles you have. I pull out the warm yellow linens to go with my blue and white china.

My only "requirements" are a pumpkin and a pot of mums.

I decorate simply for fall…leaves, pumpkins, gourds…this year I plan to cut my corn stalks to use as well as pumpkins from our own garden!!

We do a little bit of both…the seasonal starts in September and the Halloween-ish in October. One of my kids favorite traditions is to get out the Halloween boxes and help me decorate. It is so much fun going through our decorations…we always find things we forgot we had.

We're all seasonal and have never done Halloween. The "scariest" we've ever been has been the happy-faced scarecrow that used to grace our front porch.

I do mostly seasonal – I love Fall, and love the accents of this season. For Halloween, I add a few fun touches – some of the pumpkins become Jack-o-Lanterns, etc. And I do the same at Thanksgiving, adding just a few things to change up my basic fall decor.

We decorate for fall…no Halloween for us. I really enjoy all the pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves and the fresh fall air after a long, humid, Tennessee summer!

It's all seasonal in our home, and like you I try to stay cheap, simple but bring out my favorite season.

When we lived down south we use to go collect huge fall leaves and decorate our mantle with them. Maybe I need to bring back that tradition…my kids loved it.

The seasonal around my house has typically been on the table we eat at. I don't usually do the whole house up except for Christmas. Halloween decor if any is out for Halloween night only…just enough to let the neighborhood kids know there is candy at my house :0)
It's great to see the progress of that kitchen!
