Fall Decorating!

For some reason, this season I have gotten many compliments on my decorating.  I love fall sooooo much that the last week in August I start dragging stuff out and wont put it away until Thanksgiving!  Now keep in mind that although I keep fall decor up from late August to late November, I switch things up each month.  September: just fall, October:  Halloween (of course) and November:  well Thanksgiving.  only a few things change each month.  My table arrangement has never been the same two months in a row for the four years that we have lived here, I just couldn't bear the thought of looking at the same thing for 62 days! 

So I figured that "My House" would be the perfect subject for my next blog!  I will make it into a 5 day post.  

Day One: Dining Room

Day Two: Kitchen

Day Three: Living Room

Day Four: Bedrooms

 Day Five: Bathrooms

This is Octobers dining room.  I couldn't get the whole room on one picture so I have had to split it up.

Here's a list of where I got either ideas for things or actually bought them.
