Yes, Yes Ya'll!
It's Fall...Mas!
At the beginning of the Christmas season I was lamenting that I was not ready for my Fall decor to come down and I just wasn't in the Christmas mood. Maybe I could do something I penned "Fallmas" but there would be no way I had enough stuff to pull that off...but I did! And it turned out so cute!
It's kinda more woodland, Fall, Winter than really Christmas.
And I am okay with that!
Behold the beauty:
The antique Slyvania bulb rack (aka the green shelf) set up:

The tree and the cutesy Deeries!:
The only things I bought for this theme were a bag of mini snowballs (vase filler from Hobby Lobby) for 2 bucks and the gold vintage satin ball ornaments (from a thrift) for 10 bucks. Yikes on that price. I bought several bags and they were 3 or 4 bucks each bag. But they were perfect and as soon as I bought them I knew I was going to pull this look off.
I went with a color scheme of fall oranges, browns, and golds, winter whites, silver for shimmer and black and green to ground everything.
I removed purely Thanksgiving items such as turkeys and pilgrims and left woodland features such as squirrels and mushrooms. I relocated some of the fall decor to mix it up a bit such as the garland in the dining room is the garland that was around the front door. The Christmas items I added in were the deer, trees, and ball ornaments. The gnomes are kinda elf-like but also woodland so they play up both themes (they usually live on my back deck).
It's been interesting and a nice change this last season with transiting the decor. I started with my regular tiki decor and added in voodoo witch doctor vibes for Halloween. Then for fall I did Falloween adding in more black to the autumn look. Now for Christmas it's Fallmas. I could see removing the fall and leaving the white and silver for a winter look but people it's got to stop somewhere! I usually do a small winter display with snowmen but that's it. Spring can kiss my ass and summer can go to hell.
