Automation in construction: an off-site case study of the FASTtruss system with DES

It looks super cute in any space and gives off a really neat farmhousy vibe, but it’s really only 5 simple shapes, nailed together.. There’s a straight top, two “leg” pieces, and two front apron pieces.

Maybe you had some extra branches you trimmed off your tree, or maybe you picked up some of those bunches of  greenery you can get at the grocery store this time of year.. You can either just bunch the branches around themselves and keep tying them onto themselves until it’s somewhat circle-like.Or you can get some kind of wreath form and try to cover it with branches so that none of the actual wreath form sticks out.

Let me tell you, neither of these options are easy, and thus, clearly not for me..This shining example of wreathyness took me all of, maybe, a minute and a half..Instead of using a wreath form that needs to be hidden, I just used this old grapevine wreath that I reuse over and over again for everything.

It adds to the whole woodsy natural look, rather than taking away from it..I just tucked in some bits of cedar and pine from around the yard.

No tying, gluing or pinning needed..

The little red ribbons are purely for cuteness.. I’m so glad I clued into this little trick!.Getting outside and looking at the changes in nature around you is one way to get a sense of that place in time, but adding a few things around the house to celebrate can really help too!

And the kids like it!I just took 5 minutes here and there, maybe once every few days over the course of a couple of weeks to put some stuff out around the house that made me feel cheerfully fallish and like I’d done my part to set us up for the season ahead.

Of course, big fancy decorations are awesome too, but even just little things around a room can cozy things up and boost everyone’s spirits..So here’s the living room this season:.
