Welcome to Wayfaring Wednesday! My career as a real estate agent takes me all around Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and its surrounding areas. Though I wasn’t born and raised here, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the unique blend of urban and rural charm this region offers over the last 20 plus years that I have called this region home.

My passion for small businesses stems from my extensive experience in Commercial Real Estate. I am captivated by the vibrant communities and quaint towns that dot the landscape of Lancaster County. I invite you to explore and enjoy Lancaster with me, discovering its hidden gems and embracing the sense of community that makes this area truly special.

Decorating for fall as a renter can be a fun way to bring seasonal warmth into your space without making permanent changes. Here are some renter-friendly ideas:

1. Portable Decor: Use items like cozy throw blankets, pillows in autumnal colors, and seasonal area rugs. These can easily be packed away or switched out after the season.

2. Natural Elements: Incorporate pumpkins, gourds, and bowls of pinecones or acorns. These natural items are affordable, easy to find, and add a rustic touch to your home.

3. Temporary Wall Decor: Consider removable wall decals or Command hooks to hang fall-themed wreaths, garlands, or art. These can be easily removed without damaging the walls.

4. Candle Displays: Create a cozy ambiance with candles in warm scents like pumpkin spice, apple cider, or cinnamon. Use candle holders or lanterns to add a decorative touch.

5. Window Clings and Curtains: Dress up windows with seasonal clings or swap out your curtains for something more autumn-inspired. Sheer or earthy-toned curtains can make a big difference.

6. Tabletop Arrangements: Decorate your dining table or coffee table with fall-themed centerpieces. Think about a bowl of apples, a small pumpkin arrangement, or a vase filled with dried wheat.

7. Front Door Decor: Even if you’re in an apartment, you can add a fall wreath or a small doormat with autumn colors and patterns to greet visitors with a touch of the season.

8. Twinkle Lights: String warm-toned fairy lights around windows, mirrors, or shelves for a soft, cozy glow that’s perfect for fall evenings.

These ideas will help you create a welcoming autumn atmosphere in your rental without breaking the lease agreement!

Lancaster means sharing the road with Amish buggies on highways and navigating horse poop when biking through the countryside.
