Here we are...already into Sept
/Back to School!!...It's still pretty warm here (90's) but I absolutely
LOVEthe starting of the coming season....The crisp
Fall....mornings and
beautiful colors that come with
Fall, and then the
HOLIDAY Season.....Thanksgiving, Christmas , & the NewYear.........and of course our Santa's Gift ShoppeHOME Boutique....Mark your calendars for:Fri. Dec. 3rd (10am - 7pm) & Sat. Dec. 4th (10am - 4pm) I know some of you don't like the Holidays becauseof so much more work you have to do & the pressure,but maybe I can offer some
Helpful Tips that make
changing the
decor in/out of your home a little less
challenging & time consuming to do.
The
Top Photo of the
Spring Wreath just shows
you a way (that I use) to try & make the
Spring/
Summer into Fall transition easier for me to do......
and about
1/2 hr. to do
the whole porch.....I love these...They are some of my
Favorite StorageContainers....You should be able to get them @
Walmart,
Target, Michael's during the
HolidaySeason or the
"After Holiday Sales".....They are worth it...
*******I use a
wreath container to hold my
Fall wreath in the
Spring & Spring..........and my Spring/Summer wreath in the
Fall.It also saves on the
wear & tear of the
wreathitself.....So in a
very little amount of time I
switch the wreaths on the porch.....&.....viola....
"
It's starting to look like Fall on the porch"
This Photo shows I do the same thing with
Table Runners/Cloths.....Have
a special placefor them in the
linen closet or wherever.... so you
won't have to run around trying to remember where
you put them last year......if they are in the same spot
all the time........
That's one of the benefits of organizing... It Saves Time....&
I love that.....
This Photo.....shows the
"Before" or....
our
Spring and Summer porch.....Then with just a few changes of Fall flowersinto the planters and changing the wreathsyou have a "Welcoming for Fall" as well as awarm & friendly welcoming to your friends..As in the Photo Below....."The After"
This Photo shows the
Fall flowers/colors that
were used in each planter....
This Photo is a
Close-up of the coordinating
(matching) Fall flowers/colors used in the
wreath as well....
This Photo shows how
easy it is to
find the Fall flowers.......to change with the
Spring flowers...when stored in a plastic
tub that has Spring Flowers written on one
side and Fall Flowers on the other (see
bottom Photo)
So....they are easy to "see" what's in them....
because of the "clear"plastic .....and they
keep the bugs out too!!!!!!!!!!These are one
of my Favorite Storage Containers...
I hope these "ideas and suggestions" have helped you in some way......even to start storing
things in plastic/see through tubs to help
organize your garage or storage area.... Let
me know what you think......
