How I Organize My Fall Decor

I hope that you all had a great weekend!  I had a very productive and relaxing one…if that makes any sense at all, lol!
I mean, I got a lot done so that makes me feel relaxed!  Does that happen to you?
My husband was out of town so I just did those a lot of those “little things” on the checklist.  The kind of stuff that no one notices but me.  So anyway, now I feel GREAT!  I even had time to catch up on my chick flicks (I watched 4, lol) and had a girls night.
One of the things that I did was take down most of my fall decor.
When, I first posted about my fall decor here, some of you asked how I store my decor.

So I thought I would show you how I keep it all organized.
I put all the smaller stuff in clear bins.

I also get rid of/donate all the stuff that I didn’t use that year.  I don’t need to keep it all.

As for the bigger items, I put them on a shelf on our basement.  I have several shelves just for my home and holiday decor.
I can’t wait to bring out my Christmas decor!!!!
I got so many new items from the spring and summer garage sales that I don’t even remember what I have.  So, that will be like an early Christmas for me just to see it all again, lol!  I will totally show you how I organize those too because I have way to much stuff, hee hee!
Right now I only have a couple of the bigger fall items out.  I deep cleaned the house…again, lol…and this weekend, the tree comes out!  We are not having Thanksgiving at my house so I am not to worried about the décor this week.
But, I was wondering what decorations do you have up on Thanksgiving, fall or Christmas?
Have a great week!

  1. I have my vase filled with pinecones and leaves, along with a "Give Thanks" plaque, a bowl with a squirrel and leaves on it, and a turkey from Build a Bear on top of my entertainment center. I also have leaves scattered on the top of it. In my kitchen I have some gourds, a basket full of pinecones, a couple of turkey baskets and a decorative box that has Psalm 107:1. I also have window clings and a turkey and some pilgrims tacked on the wall. The kids love it.
    I love decorating for Christmas too. I will start that in December. Still enjoying the fall decorations for a bit.

  2. I don't decorate for Thanksgiving. I'm excited to do my Christmas decorating right after it!

  3. I removed the strictly Halloween and left the leaves & pumpkins, then added a couple Thanksgiving specific things since I am hosting this year. I moved this past spring and my holiday decs used to be on shelves in a spare closet wherever things fit, so they got packed up all mishmash. Looks like I'll end up with Halloween, Fall, and Thanksgiving boxes to store to bring a little efficiency to the situation. I can't wait to bring out the Christmas stuff this weekend!

  4. I use tubs too. They make it so much easier to store. I don't start Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but I am anxious. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving. Hugs, Marty

  5. We are moving soon so all of our stuff is in storage :( and we'll be in a hotel over Christmas but next year I hope to decorate. And I agree with you, I also feel more relaxed after I have been productive.
