With autumn on its way, folks all over are jumping in their cars and driving to the country to grab a glimpse of the season’s natural splendor. Bring some of that beauty to your Oregon home with these simple ideas for fall home décor.
1. Be the talk of the town with a playful pumpkin version of a snowman. Stack three pumpkins in graduated sizes, drilling holes through the pumpkins and inserting a large stick to secure. Add stick arms and a face using a black marker.
2. Make a quirky topiary by placing a sturdy branch in a box or flowerpot, weighing it down with bricks or rocks that you then cover with nuts. Cut or drill a hole through the largest pumpkin, and place on the branch. Top with two smaller pumpkins.
3. Don’t just throw all those tree trimmings in the trash this autumn. Place a bundle of bare branches in a large terra-cotta pot and weave little white holiday lights to create the perfect décor for your Oregon home.
4. Have a ball by wrapping colorful dried leaves around purchased plastic-foam balls from a crafts store. Glue the leaves on, then wind thin wire around and around to hold them firmly in place. Stack a collection of balls in a basket for rustic country style.
5. Turn mini pumpkins into decorative candle holders. Just carve a hole large enough for a tea candle in the top of the pumpkin. Arrange a bunch across a mantle or down the middle of the dining table.
