Reuse your Halloween Decorations For Thanksgiving

If you are anything like me, you like to be prepared for all reasons. You like to arrive ten minutes early to all appointments, you have a list of all needed supplies and more, and you make sure you’re prepared for anything and everything that may happen. So, of course, the latest you were ready for Halloween is about three weeks before and now that it’s mid-October, you are getting ready for the next holiday: Thanksgiving. Now, you don’t want to go and waste all of your autumn/Halloween decorations just for another holiday of the same season. So, to save you time and money on the two of your favorite fall holidays, we came up with ways for you to easily transition your home décor from spooky to cozy.

Leaves on Leaves

Did you buy more faux leaves than you may ever need? Well, nothing is easier to repurpose for fall décor than those brightly colored faux leaves. Save yourself the headache of figuring out how you can transform your home from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Keep the leaves around and decorate your kitchen and bathrooms and living room with them to really get your money’s worth out of them. Scatter them around and make your home the new cozy spot this holiday season.

Pumpkins and Pinecones

Keep all of your pumpkins from your Halloween decorations. If you went all out with the pumpkin – from pumpkin lattes to pumpkin décor – keep them all and just add some pinecones to complement the bright color. The dark, earthy color of the pinecones will add a nice balance to the bright pumpkins that decorate your home.

Rustic-galore

If you decorated your home to be a little shudder-worthy, then that may mean all of your decorations are tastefully worn and salvaged wood litter your home. Dress that up a bit and make your fall décor be the embodiment of rustic elegance. Swap out the “boos” for “homey” come Thanksgiving and utilize the worn décor to showcase your eye for rustic glam.

Cats Everywhere

If you happen to have some cat decorations leftover from Halloween, keep them around and pair them up with the giant turkeys you have in mind. If your little black cat decorations are tame and not so scary, try putting them up with the inflatable turkeys and make it a little merry. Who knows, maybe this pair will be the greatest Thanksgiving pair you’ve ever seen.

Flowers are the most versatile decorations and you will have an absolute ball in decorating your home with them. Planters filled with candle lanterns or pumpkins assorted with a wide array of flowers will really turn your home from Halloween to Thanksgiving in the subtlest yet beautiful way.
