Simple Fall Home Projects...

Welcome the arrival of fall and Thanksgiving guests with gorgeous decorations both indoors and out.

Create a Warm Welcome
Welcome guests to holiday gatherings with a beautifully decorated entry table. Create this autumnal display by placing golden gingko and bittersweet branches in a large sculptural vase. Pears piled in a rustic stoneware bowl, a ready bottle of wine and low dish of nuts are all reminders of the harvest. Don’t have the DIY savvy?  

Then brighten up your home for the season like vases filled with fall flowers. Sunflowers and Alstromeria are great choices because they'll remain beautiful for up to a week. The trick to keeping blooms fresh is to remove all leaves below the water line and change out the water every few days.

Brighten Up Your Entry
Variegated croton in saturated shades of green, gold and red surrounded by vibrant mums and pumpkins give the front entry a colorful fall pick-me-up. Both plants are perennials and can either be brought indoors to weather the winter or, if you live in a warm climate, planted to add color to your landscape. 

Or gather dried grass bunches in planters to flank the front door; use  a painted basket filled with feathers and silk greenery as a stylish stand-in for the traditional wreath. Stack foam pumpkins to create an easy-to-assemble decoration that can be used year after year.


Earthy Elegance

You can create this chic table setting using all organic elements for a look that is both sophisticated and simple. A linen tablecloth and napkins, tied with humble garden string, paired beautifully with weathered terra cotta urns topped with moss and tiny ghost pumpkins. A single artichoke at each place setting is a charming addition and lets your guest know that they are free to enjoy time together by lingering over this well set table.
