Indoor Autumn Decor
Fall is a time of fresh starts, a chance to celebrate the changing of the seasons before the holidays arrive. It's also a decorating opportunity to make your home a cozier and more inviting place to nest within while the temperatures begin to drop. Autumn decor can range from traditional to trendy, and should always be adapted to your own taste, lifestyle, and environment.

Updating your home for the new season is more than just a fun thing to do — it could actually benefit your mental health, too.

To make the best of summer’s sweet corn while at its peak, here are Donna’s suggestions and tips for serving one of the most delicious treats of the season.
