Here are some top ideas from the decorating pros for your Mr C Residences new construction home.

If you want to go all out, you can decorate your pumpkins too. A really good idea is to cover the bottom half of a pumpkin in glue, and then gently press it into a bowl of glitter. You can also paint them seasonal colors, or even cover them in patterns if that's your thing. 

Create A Cornucopia

A cornucopia is a Thanksgiving staple, and you can make your own for your Mr C Residences home this season. It's a great activity to do with the kids too, so they can get involved.
