If you read home/DIY/decorating blogs very often, then you’ve probably heard a lot of us ranting and raving about how much we love Fall.Then you see all these amazing Fall displays that are showcased all across blogland and you spend the whole season thinking that everyone who has a blog must just be a really gifted decorator.. I’m going to let you in on a little secret.. We like Fall so much because it’s so darn easy!

Fall makes us look good.If you’ve never tried setting up a fancy Fall porch for yourself then you may not know this, but you pretty much can’t screw it up.. It’s the best!.It’s almost formulaic: Lots of pumpkins, either real or fake….. Plus some bright mums, plus some corn stalks….

Plus some kind of wreath…..Minus any real effort….

Equals success!!.

You can add in a few other elements if you like, but the presence of the mums, and the pumpkins, and the corn really will make pretty much anything else look good..I don’t even mind that it attracts all that cat fur.

No one usually puts their face that close to the base of the tree anyway.Well, except the cat drinking the tree water everyday.. Here’s how I did it!.

First, buy yourself a nice $10 Christmas table cloth.. Then….Once you’ve cut out the center part where the tree will go, cut a line towards the outside of that “skirt” so that you can easily drape it around the base of the tree.. Can you guess the last step?.
