Get Carving
Nowadays, some producers have eliminated some of the complexities by putting a label ‘pie pumpkins’ and ‘carving pumpkins. However, you can find the right pumpkin for carving by tapping it and trying to listen to a hollow sound, selecting one with consistent color, and ensuring it rests flat. Once you’ve identified the right pumpkin, start carving out various designs, from Jack O Lantern to scary bats.
Bring the Fall Season Home
Radiant colors of leaves in orange, yellow, and red can be casually added to the mantel, with pumpkins and fragrant candles perched among them. Keep it bright and simple with lots of texture to present your fireplace with a warm and comfortable look.
