I actually used a pitch fork!
, which is the entry we use most, straight into the kitchen.I thought I’d show you our “real” outdoor decorations though as well.

They’re much more normal.Very normal actually.Maybe a little underwhelming.

You’ve got to have something though!Even if it is just a little something.. Around here, all the corner famer’s markets sell the same package: 1 bale of straw, one corn stalk bundle, and one pumpkin for $10.

It’s a pretty great deal for someone like me who thinks this stuff is worth it’s weight in gold..
I even sprung for the giant $6 pot of mums instead of just the little $3 ones.We have a total of 8 shuttered windows on our house, so doing the rest of them won’t be a huge project and we should be able to show you the whole before and after fairly soon!
For now though, let’s focus on the one set on the windows by the deck.We recently remodeled and stained our deck.
You can read all about that and see the full before and after... Here’s our deck with the old green shutters.
