What a welcome change in the weather! Right now it's in the 50's outside and I am LOVING IT!!! Saturday I spent the morning cleaning and decorating the house before our friends came over and we went apple picking! I got out my fall decor that was in storage containers in the garage and got to work. I had a few fall decorations up before but now I feel like our house really feels like it's fall outside! I also love making our house smell like fall! One of my favorite ways to do that (besides lighting a candle or turning on my scentsy) is to boil cinnamon, cloves, and a dash of vanilla on the stove. If you've never done that YOU NEED TO! It smells amazing and I always have people ask what the amazing smell is :-)
To do this I just fill up a pot with water, add in some whole cloves, break up one or two cinnamon sticks, and add in a little bit of vanilla. Then set your burner on low and enjoy!
It does boil down over several hours though, so make sure to watch it! If it boils all the way down you get a yucky burned smell, which is no fun.
My kitchen now has some fun pumpkins and fall picture frames!
Do you remember these candlesticks?
Well now after getting a coat of spray paint....
they are on top of my fridge holding up my "BOO" pumpkins! So now the fridge is festive too!
Football on the TV and fall decorations out :-)
Our side table with a picture of the Hubster and I at Thanksgiving two years ago...it's one of my favorites!
Here's a hodgepodge collage of the rest of my fall decor! :-)
Fall is hands down my favorite season...how can you not LOVE fall?! Great weather, fun candy, warm decorations, wonderful smells, and great food! This weekend the Hubster and I went apple picking with friends (post to come on that soon!) and I now have a half of a bushel of apples to bake with! I am already going to make apple pie, an apple braid, and homemade applesauce! Nothing says fall more than apples and cinnamon!
Happy Fall Y'all!

Love all your fall decor!!!
You put me to shame. You're so homey! (Please note: I did NOT say "homely". Haha!)
Today it REALLY felt like Fall here. The temperature "fell" from 95 to 89. I'm so spoiled.
Wear a sweater for me! ;)
Love all of it! I wish I could bust out our decor, but it's packed away. :( Didn't stop me from busting out a candle though. haha
I love your fall decor! It's so cute! My mom does something similar to make her house smell good! I love it! :)
So festive and I love it!! It ALL looks great! We have our decor up but we don't have a lot. I am lovin the weather here too! It has been so nice!! I am going to have to try that little smelly trick you do-- it sounds amazing! Right now we have the bath and body plug in in the spiced pumpkin or whatever it is haha and it smells great but I'm always up for trying new things :)
That decor totally puts me to shame. I have zero fall decor. I need to work on that. You did a great job! Love how it all looks!!
ok now I am ready for you to come to my house and decorate. I have yet to get my decorations outta the shed. Usually I have the house all done by october 1, i am behind this year! Fall is one of my favorite times to decorate whith christmas coming in at #1.
Those candlesticks are too cute. Now I will be looking for some old candlesticks at yard sales so I can transform them!
Great fall pictures of your home decorations.. Football and fall go hand in hand. i like what you did with your candlesticks
