I am not much on decorating for holidays, but just a few touches around put a little fall "icing" on the house for the season. Here are some great AUTUMN CENTERPIECES that would look great throughout the fall without going overboard with bats and pilgrims hanging on the walls ;o)
A beautiful white pumpkin stuffed full of flowers in shades of fall would look lovely on the table, but also on an entry table, fireplace or even on a bookshelf - you could do smaller pumpkins to get a less expensive option or treat yourself! Source: Martha Stewart (of course!)
This is an arrangement I did myself many Thanksgivings ago to give as a hostess gift. I started with a wire pumpkin frame that many use for a candle, put in some floral foam and started filling up! The hostess could then use the pumpkin frame after the arrangement had died off.
This one from Country Living will last all through the fall with minimal cost (maybe replace the apples every few weeks)... so simple, but a HUGE impact!
