Holiday tips from Long Fence and Home

Long Fence and Home wants to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a few tips on how to make your home more festive for the big family dinner — in addition to all the delicious food!

Welcome your guests outside with fall door decor

Frame Example

We all know that doors can be beautiful by themselves, especially Long Doors, but why not spruce them up with some new, Autumn decor to welcome your Thanksgiving guests?

Instead of the typical autumn wreath, try hot gluing autumn leaves, acorns, maize, and branches to an empty, wooden picture frame. You can glue all around the picture frame, or keep some of the frame showing for a more rustic look. Either attach this frame to a regular wreath hanger, which you can hide by gluing leaves, branches, and more, or use an orange or mauve ribbon to hang the frame on your front door.

Welcome your guests inside with pumpkin pie potpourri

Pumpkin Example

Fill your kitchen or any other room with the welcoming smell of pumpkin pie.

Below is a great new way to fill your home with the welcoming smell of pumpkin pie.

Cut the top and clean out the inside of a few small to medium-sized pumpkins. Use an apple corer to make holes all around each pumpkin for venting. Rub seasonal spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, and cloves throughout the inside of the pumpkin. Place a small, votive candle inside the pumpkin. When you light the candle, the smell of pumpkin pie will fill every room — before you even bake the actual pie!

We hope these small tips add some festivity to your home for the upcoming holiday. Again, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
