Do you decorate for the seasons?
Permalink  
 

ie change your bedding or accessories like flowers, throws, etc? 

 I saw a fascinating make over of a room from summer to fall and all they did was change accessories and it really made me want to do that!! 

I am not big on decorating for holidays at all though (it feels too "forced" or "themed" - in fact, it is one of my least favorite things to do..i don't know why.

my mom changes her whole house every month. Its insane. she has different themes for each one. I love that she does it but I would never have the time or the space to store it all.

I don't cause the idea of storing all that stuff gives me a headache. However I do love to decorate for Fall/Halloween and for Christmas. I have a flag outside the house too, that is seasonal, I guess.

wow!!  yeah, it would seem like you would need a ton of space too. I didn't think of that aspect.

I decorate for Christmas, but that's it. And it takes me two days to decorate and a day and a half to take it down.
