How do you decorate your home for fall/Halloween? Do you decorate with things outside? Do you decorate inside?

I like to get corn stocks from my brother's farm and put them outside with pumpkins and such.
I have some candle houses decorations that I put around the inside.

I don't decorate every year, just depends on my mood, how busy we are, the weather etc

I always put out my fall wreaths on our doors and when I pull out summer flowers from the pots at the front door, side patio and at the garage, I put in fall mums.

Some years I do do the whole corn stalk, gourds/pumpkins/mums around our lamp post. One year I set up three on either end of our garage and one in the middle as well and it was really pretty.

I don't do anything inside, I'm pretty 'anticlutter' in terms of that kind of stuff.

We carve pumpins outside. My kids want a scarecrow so maybe this year we'll try. Inside I do have some decorations I get out. They kids really like it. I have a specific area that has some pictures and knick knacks that I take down and change with the seasons. When there is no season I decorate for family pictures are there.

I used to decotrate a lot for Halloween (it is one of my favorite times of the year) and the kids love it. Since we now live in a house that not a soul can see from the road I really don't see the point in doing too much b/c we are the only ones to see it. maybe this year I'll do a little more than last year. I like the lights that are inside the windows (like bats,ghosts, goblins) and you can see them from the road....

Unfortunely carved pumpkins are about all we do. I dont have many decorates for Halloween, Thanksgiving, fall, etc. Not by choice. All of it is so expensive and I have ZERO talent, so no handmade decorations either. I promise myself every year after Halloween, etc that I will get some new stuff when it goes on sale. But every year by that time, it never fails, I am low on money so no decorations.

I decorate inside for H-ween, but since we live
in the country, we don't do the outside.
But, I LOVE to drive around and look
at other home's decor!!

We decorate both inside and outside. Outside it's pumpkins, cornstalks and three "scare crows" that we bought on clearance a few years ago. Inside I change out the candles from summery flavors to fall scents like baked apple pie, mulled cider and others. I also take off the summer window clings and put fall ones on. I have "window/glass paint" that I use on the window above my entry way in the fall and winter. I use different colors that match the season. I also change curtains on four of my windows. I use different ones for my formal living room, for the sliding doors and for the kitchen windows.

For fall I decorate outside- the hay, pumpkins, cornstalks- inside I just burn spicey smelling candles!

For Halloween- I go nuts- a graveyard with hands coming out and so on- I love decorating for Halloween opposed to Fall.
