Double Duty Decorating for Fall

I love alliteration...I also love decorating that can stretch over a few holidays until I'm ready to decorate for the next one. 

When decorating your house, choose decorations that can multi-task.

Generic fall pumpkins can serve as decorations for Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Fall season in general.


This pumpkin decoration can hold the Halloween candy and also serve as a reminder for things I'm thankful for during the holiday season...namely pumpkin pie!


Glass bowls or apothecary jars serve as neutral vessels for holiday decorations and the contents can easily be changed as the new season or holiday approaches. Choose contents that can multi-task across seasons and holidays. 

These apothecary jars contain pinecones, assorted potporri and nuetral colored decorative balls that not only match the home decor but also serve a decorative purpose for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. 


As the new holiday approaches, simply remove items no longer appropriate.

What decorations for the Fall season do you use that save you time across holidays?

I love the idea of decorations matching my interior design and serving double duty across various seasons and holidays. It works as a time saver and doesn't make me feel guilty if it's still around after the holiday passed because it's still appropriate for the next holiday.
