• Add battery operated candles with a timer to lanterns for a warm, welcoming glow at night.
• Think outside of the box. Create an instant fall planter by adding a few pumpkins mingled in with your plants.

• For an unexpected touch, drape a throw over the side or back of chairs or benches on your porch.
• Layer two or more door mats in fall colors at your front door.

DECORATING THE FOYER OR ENTRYWAY
