Thanksgiving is one of those holidays when the table becomes part of the celebration.

Painting pumpkins is one of the easiest ways to decorate for fall without picking up a carving knife. There is no scooping out seeds, no trying to cut a perfectly straight triangle through thick pumpkin flesh, and no pressure to finish the design before your jack-o’-lantern begins collapsing on the porch.

A front porch does more than frame the entrance to your home. It sets the tone before anyone steps through the door. Whether you have a deep wraparound porch, a narrow covered stoop, or just enough room for a chair and a planter, thoughtful decorating can make the space feel warmer, more polished, and more …

There is something especially welcoming about a porch dressed for fall. Pumpkins gather beside the steps, mums bring one last burst of garden color, a blanket appears over the back of a chair, and lanterns begin glowing earlier as the afternoons grow shorter. The best fall porches do not necessarily have the most decorations. They …

Once upon a time, the television was not a thin black rectangle mounted on the wall. It was furniture. Large console TVs came wrapped in wood veneer, fitted with decorative knobs and speaker grilles, and designed to occupy a permanent place in the living room. Some had tapered legs and unmistakable mid-century lines. Others looked …
