FESTOON A CORNER Got an empty nook in the kitchen, entryway, hallway? Bring in a grouping of small trees (ahh, the scent) and adorn some with lights. If you want, hang a homey garland— or another strand of lights or a string of holiday cards— for added ornament.
RELAX YOUR DOOR DECOR O P P O S I T E : Instead of the annual store-bought wreath, try a “deconstructed” DIY version: String rope through three pieces of precut copper pipe (sold at hardware stores) to form a triangle. Attach foraged greens with wire, then insert a few blooms. Choose flowers that dry nicely. (We used cockscomb, snowberries, and amaranthus.)
