For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
~Edwin Way Teale

Autumn Decorating Ideas …. Continued:

1. For a fragrant treat, fill a ceramic bowl or a wood or wicker basket with oranges, lemons,pine-cones, nuts, and pieces of evergreen. Place the container just inside the front door for a special welcome home.

2. Decorate a wreath for your front door with clusters of berries, ornamental grasses, and other fall finds. Purchase a wreath form at a local crafts store, then simply attach the berries and grasses with wire or hot glue.

3. Lead trick-or-treater’s to your door or dinner guests to the back patio with country luminaries made with old glass jars. Put a bit of sand in the jar and set a small candle in the sand. Line the sidewalk with the luminaries or even hang them from trees with wire.  If you plan ahead, you can also order battery operated tea-light candles which are perfect for projects like this.  Battery operated tea-light candles are also safe to use in paper bag projects.

4. Make an autumn garland for your mantle with colorful apples. Use an awl or knitting needle to pierce through the apples from side to side. Pull twine through the hole and knot it to hold the apple in place. Spice up the display by alternating apples with gourds, walnuts, or leaves.

5. Accent a door or wall with a swag of Indian corn. Use twine to connect the ears, knotting the twine after adding each ear. Tuck in pressed maple leaves for even more color. Then loop the twine at the top to hang.

Brighter Spaces will Help Beat the Winter Blues…

Feeling the winter blues??  Invest in the space where you start and end your day… Your bedroom!

Pillows are a simple solution

Changing or adding bright pillows to your bed and sitting areas in your master bedroom will add not only pops of color to your room, but life.  End your day and retreat to your room where comfortable, cozy pillows greet you with a cheerful hello.  Wake up in the morning to a fresh, cheerful start to your day.  Any color will do, as long as it’s all about you.  A simple attitude adjustment in the bedroom can go a long way when helping you beat the winter blues.

Add some life with plants

One of the things we dream of most in the winter is a warm vacation.  Travel is food for the soul, and we can curb that hunger right at home with elements that remind us of that warm, happy, tropical place.   Pretty palm plants (real or silk) can really help bring that tropical feel inside your home and their rich green color is sure to compliment the other color contrasts in your room.

Green is great

In fact, green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony and freshness.  It has a great healing power and is restful to the eye.  Olive green is the traditional color of peace.  The winter blues don’t stand a chance!
