Early fall decorating ideas are something to think about before summer comes to a close. When summer winds down I feel like singing a happy song! A song about pumpkins and cider and crisp leaves on the ground. Let’s get ready for some fall decorating and those cozy feelings that follow suit.

CLEAN UP
We don’t live in an area with much leaf drop come autumn, but when summer ends we give our yard and garden a good clean up. Trees are trimmed back that won’t flower until next year and mulch is laid down in the beds. We also clean the patio area with a sprayer filled with a solution of hot water and bleach to get off any summer mildew. Inside I do a deep cleaning and that includes the windows that have seen lots of summer rains and the area rugs that might have tracked in dirt patches. When things are fresh and clean I can really concentrate on starting to decorate and design!

TAKE STOCK
Hanging flowers in bunches upside down to dry inside helps to keep them upright.
This is true…thanks for adding your tip!
True I am not ready for summer to end, however, I love your fall decorative design here. Thanks for sharing.
It can be bittersweet, but fall is my favorite season in terms of decorating!
These flowers are just a beautiful, the colors are so unique! You are lucky i don’t get many flowers around here I have to travel far!
Beautiful soft colors – this is what I’m loving for fall too. 🙂
Thanks Stacey…glad that you are a fan of the soft colors for fall as well!
No I really want to start getting out my fall decor and get at it. Your photos are so inspiring!
These are all from old posts Kristi but I’m cleaning up in prep of getting started soon. Whoo hoo! Have a wonderful week ahead.
I love all the details – the decorations are awesome and definitely worth to copy!
Sandra, thanks so much for stopping by and please…copy away at all times! Janet
I have hoarded up hydrangeas from my traveling work assignments and brought them back to S. FL. Camellias and hydrangeas won’t grow here but we have our other plants. I am going to travel again and may get the last of some to last me another year. They are just my late summer and early fall go-to floral for my arrangements!!
I’m in south Florida too and the flora and fauna is just so different here! My flowers always come from the florist or grocery, unless tropicals.
Love these ideas, Janet! And so many beautiful elements in your home! Pinned to my Fall board!
