Keeping the Castle - Housekeeping & Homemaking Tips

It’s Not Too Late to Decorate (nov)

by SP Bragg on November 21st, 2008

You have been running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off… where do I get these sayings?? It just popped into my head, but I guess it’s fitting (sort of). Anyway, Thanksgiving is fast approaching and you still have to spruce up the house for the big day. Again, off the top of my head, I came up with some really easy ways to make your home warm and cozy!

-garland of colored leaves draped over the fireplace

-small figurines of “all things fall” I’m thinking little pumpkins, little farmers etc to decorate window sills etc.

-candles in warm colors. You can get amazing some amazing baby candles that nestle in little glass cups that can be used to decorate where ever there is an empty spot.

-place a display of season magazines on the coffee table. I think that I mentioned it before… I have magazines dating back to the 40s and no I wasn’t around back then. ;)

-change the pillows on your sofa to something fitting for the season. I even remember reading once about buying silky scarves in the colors you need and simply tying them around the pillows you already have.

I’m sure that there are about a zillion little ideas and if you feel like sharing… we are all ears! ;)
