Home DIANE GILSON'S FESTIVE FALL HOME Diane Gilson likes to go big. An avid party planner and hostess with a sense of humor, she decorates for the seasons so she can celebrate with friends. 1 1. Diane's dining table shimmers. A black table cloth is sprinkled with pumpkin confetti. A bouquet of ruby red berries and faux flowers bring elegance and warmth to the table. 2 2. Approaching Diane's home, you'll see she's a Disney fan. Mickey and Minnie show off a grinning pumpkin and plenty of vibrant fall leaves. 3. Step inside Diane's home and you'll find a charming hall tree adorned with fall foliage. Her pair of ice skates gets decorated for every season, adding a bit of whimsy and unexpected charm. "I bought (the hall tree) many years ago, and I've taken it to over 20 homes already," she said. 4. Beside the hat rack in Diane's entryway, you'll find a fall-themed display of bright sunflowers and scattered leaves. The golden tree artwork on the wall is one of many seasonal pieces she displays throughout the year. 5. Take a dip in Diane's pool and let her floating table treat you to a beverage or snack. Diane's handy creation consists of Styrofoam and pool floats wrapped in decorative plastic and topped with napkins and picnic ware. 38 OCTOBER 2020
