The colors of Autumn are so inspiring! I made a nature-inspired table display in just a few easy steps, and it really warmed up the entire room. I just followed some display basics, and added my own touches with my birdhouses and birds from around the house. I’ve also included a side project as well which will come in a later post!
(№.1) Start with core pieces of varying heights. The easiest display has the tallest item in the middle, making a pyramid. Odd numbers are the most visually pleasing, so here I have 5 pieces, but 3 or 7 are commonly used as well. Stagger them front to back to create depth to your display.
(№.2) Add in accent pieces, making sure that they overlap without hiding other things.
(№.3) Fill in the rest of the space with pinecones, gourds, and birds. Some things to keep in mind to help would be:
Contrast – putting light things in front of dark and vice versa
Color – similar colors should be balanced on both sides (here I have the orange gourds on both ends)
Variation – don’t get stuck in a straight line. overlap, group and prop your items until it looks interesting
Impact – keep a single theme or image in mind, so people can get the idea at first glance. the details will keep them looking.
Details:

I firmly believe in giving compliments as often as possible. Sometimes, people (both guys and girls) think I am flirting with them, and sometimes, I actually am! However, I think it is just an easy, small way to make someone’s day, and spread good karma into the world.
Now, as a lover of all things fantasy, pretty much nothing is cooler to me than dragons. So, telling someone that they are as cool as dragons is about as good a compliment as it gets. Why stop with “Hey, you’re decent” when you can say “Hey, you are more awesome than anything in the real world, we have to move over into super powerful magical creatures to compare with your awesomeness.”
I do realize, from long experience, that probably not all of you are going to truly love and appreciate these posters. Fantasy is long been firmly lodged in the “geek” spectrum of life. And, that’s okay. You like what you like, and I like what I like. I would be willing to bet, however, that someone you know is a closet dragon-loving geek just like me. We are all over, just like aliens. And unicorns.
Speaking of,
All of these posters can be customized with colors, fonts, and text. They are available as the popular 11″x17″ poster size OR as a 4″x5″ greeting card on heavy cardstock paper- affordable and easy to display, but totally unique and professionally printed. I’ll be giving one to my cousin who loves reading for Christmas… oh, and my other cousin who likes computer games… and my husband who is as cool as dragons… and my old roommate that likes unicorns….
