Falling for Autumn DeCor

Fall is a fun time of year to get festive! 

Try some of these quick ideas to bring a little Autumn Crisp into your home.

Move Over, Jack -Grimacing faces not your thing?  Find 3 to 5 pumpkins that stack well atop one another.  Hollow and carve your street number, one per pumpkin.  String a set of white lights through the middle, and you have a great door side decoration.

Center Stage -For a quick centerpiece, lay a grapevine wreath on your table and fill the center with mini pumpkins, gourds, fall foliage and mini pine cones.  Choose a hard-variety apples (red delicious or granny smith) for a longer-lasting centerpiece.

Pumpkin Placecards - Having a party?  Write your guests' names on mini pumpkins with black permanent marker as an adorable placeholder.

Pumpkin Vase - Hollow and clean a small to medium size pumpkin.  Fit the inside with a small vase or jar.  Arrange fresh flowers along with twigs and full color fall leaves.  A mini pumpkin with a few sprigs of daisies makes a terrific gift for a friend or teacher.

Pumpkin Pedestal- Place a medium size pumpkin on a pedestal in the center of the table.  Add fall leaves, trailing ivy, nuts, and small clove-spiked oranges.  Use toothpicks or floral picks to help hold items in place.  For a dramatic effect, carve your pumpkin first or use a white pumpkin.

What a fun time for kids to help with the decorations!  My interior designers have moved on now, they're designing their own homes. Boy how time flys - enjoy them while they're yet young.
