Getting Ready for Fall with Rubbermaid – Easy Monster Door Idea

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Rubbermaid but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #FallFixUp http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Rubbermaid Storage Containers Fall (6)It’s hard to believe that we are already going back to school and after a very busy summer our front yard is looking a little neglected. What I really enjoy about fall is decorating our home and spending more time together as a family.

Our girls headed back to school two weeks ago so it already feels like fall is going to start setting in and it’s time to spend a little time updating and cleaning the front of the yard. So we headed to Home Depot where we often shop for our home improvement needs. We easily found the all the supplies we would need to get started on the yard. Things like new flowers and pots, Rubbermaid Storage Tubs and Rubbermaid Garbage Cans with lids for easy yard and leaf cleanup. You can find them inside Home Depot at every day low prices so I stocked up on our fall fix up essentials.

They make it easy for me to keep my favorite fall decor easily organized so when I’m getting ready for that Halloween party I have everything ready to go!

We have three giant palm trees that always surprise us with new fruit so our yard often needs picking up, we also have a giant oak tree that will soon be losing all it’s leaves. It’s nice to have a lightweight garbage can that you can use for yard cleanup. It makes easier transfer into our larger green waste can for weekly pickup too.

It’s heavy and big but it also serves as a sturdy screen so we can keep the front door open but locked. Since it’s going to be fall I have been wanting to just make the door more fun and what better way than with a monster door!

You could easily cover your front door but since this is the security gate I just wanted to make it fun and still be able to see out of the door from the inside. Your kiddos could even do it to their bedroom doors!

Cleanup from decorating outdoors was a breeze with the Rubbermaid Roughneck Garbage Can. It’s small in size but big enough to get the job done. Essential for our fall fix up!

  3. I’m soo doing a monster door this year! I wanted to do one last year but ran out of time!

  5. I use Rubbermaid totes to store all of our Christmas decorations. We used to keep them in boxes but then opossums ruined them. The opossums have never been able to get to my decorations inside the Rubbermaid containers.

  6. such a cute idea! And fun to do with the kiddos! I love Halloween, it is my most favorite holiday besides Christmas of course 🙂 I love fall too!

  7. Love the Halloween door. So cute. It’s usually snowing here on Halloween so we don’t do much for the decorating.

  10. I love using Rubbermaid totes to organize our holiday items. We have about 2 for each holiday. That monster door idea is super cute, too!

  14. My husband swears by Rubbermaid products. I can understand that. He’s had the same garbage cans for 10 years. They’re indestructible!

  15. I let my husband handle the outdoor stuff, but I have several Rubbermaid storage bins that I really love. They’re very durable.

  17. Rubbermaid has some awesome products. Military families LOVE Rubbermaid totes! It’s a running joke with a few friends of mine.

  21. Very cute! We are just about ready to pull up the garden. We had a lot of stuff damaged in a bad storm in July. Some of it recovered. A lot didn’t. So we need to get that pulled up. We still have squash, corn, carrots, beets and some bok choy going strong.

  22. that’s a really cute idea! we’d have to do it on the kids’ doors, we don’t have a storm door that lets you see through

  23. I need another trash can for serious! We have SO much tarsh every week that one post doesn’t do it.

  24. I think that’s the cutest Halloween themed front door I’ve seen in a long time. Love it! I haven’t done much in my yard at all because I’m pregnant and it was just too hot this summer, and now that I’m further along I can’t get out there. Luckily we have a rock bed for a front yard, so there really isn’t much to do to prepare for fall.

  25. I love Rubbermaid products! Sounds like you are definitely getting ready for the Fall. Love the Monster Door idea!

  34. I love Halloween. This monster door would be a great idea for this year. We store all our holiday decorations in Rubbermaid totes.

  35. All of Rubbermaid’s products are great. I use their totes a lot as well with our items we have in storage in our basement. I never have to worry about the condition of things when I need them, no matter how long their in the totes.

  37. Love the monster door! SO cool…and I need to get some rubbermaid tubs for storage at home!
