I love fall, it's such a beautiful season. I love the color palette. With autumn officially setting in, it's time to place some fall decor around your home. One secret you may not know about me is that I don't love loud Halloween decor. I love the combination of orange and black, but Halloween overkill makes me dizzy. As far as decor goes, I adore changing out the house for the season, and fall is one of the best.As for an expert tip? I like to combine Halloween and Thanksgiving decor when I can. Here's how I create a fabulous fall centerpiece:The nice thing about decorating for both Halloween and Thanksgiving is that you simply remove the scary stuff early November and leave the rest.
