DEAR MI-LING:<\/em>\u00a0Money is an issue these days. How can I incorporate fall colors into my home without spending a lot of money? My budget is tight, and my mind is blank. I need a little inspiration to help me get started both inside and out.<\/p>\n Any ideas?<\/p>\n For a quick and easy fall makeover in your home pull out those glass vases, metal buckets, cake plates, baskets, old boots and hats and fill them with nature\u2019s goodness. Nuts, leaves, twigs and berries, apples and other fruit will brighten up your space.<\/p>\n Next, take a trip to your garage, basement or storage shed and drag out the shovels, rakes, wheel barrows, old beat-up tables, chairs and iron pieces to create an outdoor space layered with flowers, twigs and wood, pumpkins and more.<\/p>\n Spray-paint old furniture and pots with vibrant colors. An explosion of orange, gold, green, purple and brown will take your space to the next level. Complete the look by layering outdoor pillows, colorful candles, tablecloths and a few fresh pumpkins.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no need to buy expensive centerpieces when you have a backyard full of leaves, sticks and berries or\u00a0fill a vase with berries, asparagus and water\u00a0for a spectacular display!<\/p>\n A few tips to get you started: Photo Credit: Mi-Ling Stone Poole Share your fall decorating tips!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Mi-Ling Stone Poole DEAR MI-LING:\u00a0Money is an issue these days.
