One of our favorite things about the change in seasons is the chance to make small, subtle changes that refresh our home. Accenting with throw pillows and adding in-season floral arrangements are two great ways to bring your home to life. But why not take it a step further? Decorative lanterns and boxes are perfect for creating fun, one-of-a-kind vignettes without breaking the bank. Check out some more of our favorite ideas.
FALL
Fill a decorative glass box with gourds and faux—or real—autumn leaves. Check our your local craft store and pick up a fall inspired garland to wrap around the bottom of the box.
Use lanterns decoratively by filing them with red and gold glass ball Christmas tree ornaments. Tie a wire ribbon to the lantern handle and accent with some garland.
Create a candle box using your glass box with a red candle, Christmas garland and pine cones for a festive look that you can keep all season.
SPRING
Fill your favorite lantern with faux flowers you can pick up at the craft store. We love hydrangeas and the lush look they provide to this weathered wood lantern.
Nothing says spring like bird nests and robin’s eggs. Create a springy moment on a shelf by filling a decorative glass box with faux leaves, flowers, a nest and some faux eggs.

With so much emphasis on food during Thanksgiving, we thought we’d focus less on stuffing and more on style—at least until dinner is served! Because if you’re going to spend all that time preparing a delectable meal, your Thanksgiving table decor should look just as beautiful.
Fortunately, there are lots of ways to create a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape, from seasonal and colorful to whimsical and personal. Just make sure your imagination leaves enough room for family and friends to sit and enjoy their meal.
This year, we’re opting for a natural approach, using real branches and acorns to complement metallic sculptural pumpkins, gourds and other fall fruits. Watch our table being set, and good luck creating your own Thanksgiving tablescape. Let’s eat!

5 Easy Updates: Get Your Home Ready For Fall
Shift into the new mood by personalizing your spaces with these easy updates.
We all know that rain is good for the environment and helps the flowers bloom throughout spring and summer. But for all the good the rainy season brings, it also introduces mud and muck into the house. We have a few simple tips for making the mud more manageable while still keeping your home at its stylish best.
From the Ground Up
Area rugs not only help define open spaces like foyers and entryways, but also add a touch of welcoming warmth and splash of style. For fear of ruining prized rugs with muddy footprints, many people stow their rugs away during the rainy season. Rather than deprive your entryway of the many benefits offered by an area rug, lay down an indoor/outdoor rug that is easily cleaned and stands up to heavy foot traffic. Shop from our selection of indoor/outdoor rugs to find the season’s hottest color and pattern trends. These chic rugs protect your floors from mud and dirt while making a stunning first impression with your guests!
Benchwarmers
Keeping a heap of towels in the entryway is a common-sense approach to taming mud during the rainy season. But who wants their ratty old towels in plain view? That’s why we suggest placing a storage bench in the entryway. It not only keeps cleanup items out of sight but also offers a place to sit while you wipe your feet and remove your shoes. Win-win! Our Zenfield bench is technically designed to complement the bedroom collection by the same name, but can easily add form and function to a foyer, too.
A-Tisket, A-Tasket
Now that you’ve removed your muddy shoes, you need a spot to stow them. After all, no one wants to see the family’s footwear lined up by the front door. Nothing works better than a large basket to conceal the mess while letting your footwear “breathe” and dry out.
The Hookup
Now that you’ve mastered the cleanup and storage of your muddy rain boots, it’s time to address the raincoats, jackets, and umbrellas. Our home accents wall shelf works especially well in a foyer thanks to its bevy of hooks. With a stylish storage spot for every member of the family, there’s no excuse for an unorganized entryway.
