It’s finally fall, my favorite time of the year. I love that the weather is cooling off, the Halloween carnivals and festivals, football games, pumpkin patches, and last but not least decorating my home for the fall season. The decorative options for a pumpkin or two are endless, I’ve found a few of my favorites and I hope they inspire you to start decorating too.

via www.bhg.com Love the look of this look, it’s simple, affordable and will look great through the Thanksgiving holiday.
via www.bhg.com With this arrangement stabilize the bottom pumpkin with rocks or sand; stack the pumpkins from largest to smallest, leaving lids with stems off on all but the top pumpkin.
via www.bhg.com If you’re into carving your pumpkins, this is a cute idea with sunflower seeds.
via www.southernliving.com To create this topiary, sandwich bay wreaths between pumpkins stacked in concrete urns, and top with a small pumpkin.
via www.pinterest.com This raven wreath is so simple, I would have never thought of something like this! The ravens you can find at just about any store that sells Halloween decor. The foam wreath is just painted or wrapped in a black ribbon.
via www.thegatheringplacedesign.blogspot.com This wreath is a great fall decor option to get you through the Thanksgiving holiday season and simple to make.

www.bhg.com Love the color combination of this one.
via www.marthastewart.com This is a great alternative for the front door if you are going to be away with your own trick-or-treaters. I have actually done this the past few years, very easy and looks great.

via www.countryliving.com Another creative idea for your fall decor, a little metallic spray paint to add a nontraditional twist to your pumpkins.
via www.goodhousekeeping.com Carrying on with the raven theme, this makes a dramatic statement, sure to spook your little trick-or-treaters.
via www.marthastewart.com This one is a little more simple, but still very cute.

via www.bhg.com The door decorations made from painted gourds are sure to catch the eye and chill the heart in the dark.

via www.marthastewart.com This one is simply a large shredded garbage bag(the thin cheaper bags work best), I have also done this the past two years and looks great. It does tend to get very tangled, if you live in a windy area you may want to wait until a day or two before the trick-or-treaters arrive.
via www.bhg.com Easy to pose and secure with nearly invisible fishing line, the plastic skeletons can withstand the weather and hang out the entire season.
via www.bhg.com These spooky silhouettes are simply traced onto black paper or poster with a light placed behind. This is a project the kiddos can definitely help with.
Hope you have enjoyed this post and it has inspired you to get decorating for Halloween.
