Decorating with Wood feels like fall. As the days shorten and the nights are longer, the weather become crisper. Gathering of wood is apparent as fireplace are blazing and outdoor gatherings around a fire is must.

Why not, decorate with wood to create a rustic, cozy fall home. Fill bowls up with small wood scraps, display candles on wooden disc and/or fill baskets with wood that is ready to be burned. Place a large wooden disc on a table and create a nice fall centerpiece.

Just buying, picking or growing a harvest of apples or pears and placing in your home is thrifty plus you can eat them.

Display apples/pears in bowls on a countertop or centerpiece in a table. Display faux fall fruit around a shelf or in glass jars.

When I think of fall in the States, Pumpkins comes to mind!

Pumpkins are must to any fall decorating. I love all the colors and shapes pumpkins come in. Pumpkins are gorgeous and give a fairy tale vibe to any space in and out of your homestead. If you do not grow your own pumpkins, you can hit up some farm stands or local grocery stores and find all shades of pumpkins. Use pumpkins everywhere for cheap decorating this fall.

Wheat can be found anywhere in the mid-west and to this day a great way to add to vases this fall.

Dried Wheat comes in many varieties and are popular and scream fall around here.

Harvest wheat is big in the fall and if you snag a few sprigs why not add to your fall floral arrangements.

Pinecones and Acorns are everywhere on the ground as the nights turn colder. Clean and dry out all your pinecones and acorns and display on a coffee table in a class jar. Add a pinecone to a windowsill or adding touches of acorns to a centerpiece.

Lanterns remind me of the past and look so classic in fall decorations. Shopping at secondhand stores for lanterns is nice to bring into your home this fall to display candles. Do not worry if your lanterns all do not match. You can embrace the difference in each lantern or spray paint them for a uniform look this season.

Galvanized Buckets fills with fall foliage is nice because it is inexpensive and pretty. Mums, wheat, cotton weed and/or pumpkins are displayed in most of my galvanized buckets.

Pitchers are perfect any time of year but, in the Fall, they make nice homes for fall foliage such as wheat, eucalyptus and cotton wood.

Pitchers are so super but, make a statement. You can find many great white pitchers at secondhand stores in varies sizes. Display fall blooms within your pitchers in your home to make a great look to any space. Clustering pitchers together in varies sizes can be a nice touch displayed on a shelf.
