I know Halloween is only a few days away but it is time to start thinking about decorating for Thanksgiving and the best place to start is with your front door. Since Thanksgiving brings to mind, harvest, cornucopias, Indian corn, there are many materials to work with therefore many options. If you would like to make a simple, but colorful statement, follow these directions on a lovely Indian Corn Hanging. I found a website that lists 101 Fall Wreath ideas, click here to be visually amazed with the many wonderful ideas!  (I love the one with all the baby pumpkins on it!)
Decorate your front porch or deck using your planters with corn husks and pumpkins, it makes such a beautiful statement and very easy to put together. This idea came from BHG.com, click here for instructions. Â
Take your empty planter boxes and fill them with corn husks, and various pumpkins and gourds to create a fall harvest look (this idea is from MarthaStewart.com).
Click here for a great video on decorating the frame of your doorway with mesh, ribbon, and seasonal floral items. I recently found this mesh in various colors at A.C. Moore. To create a clever Indian corn garland for your front porch, Martha Stewart recommends stringing the corn together using wire and raffia to get an unusual look. For those instructions, click here.
To incorporate some sparkle and light to your front porch, PotteryBarn.com offers many options. Check out those beautiful lanterns!
Enjoy this lovely east coast weather and Happy Thanksgiving Decorating!
