• Stovetop Simmer Pot: Fill your home with the comforting scents of fall by creating a stovetop simmer pot. Combine cinnamon sticks, orange and apple slices, cloves, and a dash of vanilla and nutmeg in a pot of water. Let it simmer on low heat, and your whole house will smell like autumn bliss.
• Rustic Twig Wreath: Gather twigs and small branches from your yard to craft a rustic wreath. Add dried flowers, mini pumpkins, or a burlap ribbon for a handmade touch that welcomes guests at your front door.
• Seasonal Mason Jar Lanterns: Turn mason jars into cozy lanterns by filling them with battery-operated string lights, acorns, and fall leaves. Display them on your porch, mantle, or as a centerpiece for a touch of warm light that sets the perfect autumnal atmosphere.

Fall Maintenance Tips for Your New Home

As the weather cools down, it’s important to prepare your new home for the upcoming season. Here are a few maintenance tips to keep things running smoothly:
