Fall Makeover

{before}

I was walking back to my apartment in DC the other day and there was the most beautiful tree whose leaves were bright, piercing shades of red, orange and yellow. I immediately thought, "these are too beautiful to waste." I grabbed a bag from my apartment and started gathering the most beautiful leaves I could find, thinking of different ways I could put them to good use. I had already started my apartment's fall makeover, purchasing a wicker basket and filling them with clementines (later switching to pine cones or ornaments), and buying a pumpkin as told in a previous post.
